If you put your effort and concentration and to play into your potential to be the best that you can be,

I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book, we're going to be winners. The talent for so many players today, the talent and the spotlight, it's taking them to heights that their character's not strong enough to support. I'm one of those set goals and chiefs. I talked about faith passion, obviously, the drive with the guys that I've been around,

and the guys that surround me every single day.

If I want to be one of the best, I've got to play with and against the best.

Today we're going to be uncovering this topic of training to exhaustion and giving you some things to consider possibly changing your approach to how you train your players in addition to how you

handle different things within yourself so tj this is a fun one let yeah it is let's talk about

this first of all like coaches training to exhaustion okay and then we'll talk about them training

their team their team yeah so let's if we go coaches first you know we all know this like

it's almost like a a badge of honor to say I burned it at both ends I slept in the office

I've been I can't see straight I've watched so much film you know like those types of things

are almost a badge of honor but the facial hair is growing out because you haven't shaved in days yeah but

we've all seen the images but are but are they you know what I mean like we we shared on like

my pregame stuff remember you know I occasionally massage yeah occasionally get a pedicure I go

real soft or do that like I've found over the course of time that my physical best usually allows me to give my emotional best to my team and um and i can't do that when i'm tired and strung out and just whatever like you know now there are times when you grind there are times when you watch film there are times when you get tired of it but i when you get tired in it. But I also think it's really important to keep a balance there. And so coaches have to know,

like, am I training myself beyond a comfortable level? Am I getting to a place of exhaustion? Because

when you do get to exhaustion, it's a hard hole to dig out of. It takes time to dig out of. And

you're probably running at a pace that's not

going to be best for you or your team. So this is a powerful, powerful episode for me personally.
