Oregon’s conditioning 2011: “It’s an illusion… we are just more ‘fresh’ going into Saturday’s and we simply practice and play faster”. ~Jimmy Radcliffe.
“Conditioning should be working on acceleration mechanics, high-speed mechanics, and speed/power cuts. Gassers are bad conditioning and contribute to issues without providing benefit.” ~Jimmy Radcliffe

Just finished this after Steve Jones highly recommended it.
“The first is that people did have good intentions to spend the money, but once they reached a certain age, they found that their wants and needs changed, or perhaps diminished.
Experts in retirement planning even have some lingo for this consumption pattern: go-go years, slow-go years, and no-go years. The idea is that when you're first retired, you're raring to have all those experiences you've been putting off until retirement, and you still (for the most part) have the health and energy to pursue those experiences.
Those are your go-go years. Later on, typically in your seventies, you begin to slow down as you cross items off your bucket list and your health declines. And later still, in your eighties or beyond, you don't have a whole lot of "go" left at all, no matter how much money you still have.
As one retirement-planning adviser put it,
"My dad is 86 and he doesn't want to go anywhere, just stay close to home.”

The one and only Steve Jones of the Green Bay Packers joined me for a podcast.
Steve and Lucas Jadin wrote “The Twin Thieves” ranked #2 among 🏈 coaching books behind Bill Walsh’s book ( #3 is Belichick).

If you are not embarrassed by your past self
you have probably not grown up yet.
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
~Calvin Coolidge
Pretty much the template for my upcoming book.
Share your fears.
Share your failures.
Share your worldviews.
Share your vulnerabilities.
Share your transformations.
Share your polarizing opinions.
Share your hard-earned lessons.
Share you.
If people only wanted information, they'd Google it.
"The average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of cliches. What they mistake for thought is simply a repetition of what they have heard. My guess is that well over 80 percent of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought."
~ H. L. Mencken
“As humans, we have trouble processing large amounts of data involving multiple variables, and when we get overwhelmed we go on autopilot, and the result is far from optimal.” ~from the book “Die With Zero”
Do coaches get overwhelmed and go on autopilot? 🤔
