“Elite athletes don’t have to be pushed. They have to be held back.” ~Charlie Francis

🚫The undisciplined pursuit of more.

07/17/2026

Traditional coaches are “pushers”. They believe their job is to “drive” their athletes to greatness.

The FTC approach attempts to make training the best part of kid’s day because kids are good at what they like, obsessed with what they love.

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

How to go from your little person voice to your big person voice with Steve Jones

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
