Cooper Kupp's mindset is a blueprint for the inner game of performance.
“From Monday through Saturday, I do everything I can to be the best version of myself…Once I step on the field, it doesn’t matter. The results don’t matter. I get to play from victory, not for victory.”
You can’t play free until you’ve done the work.
Preparation builds confidence. Detachment unlocks freedom.
When you combine the two, you perform from a place of peace, not pressure.

What would people say about you if you left this earth today? Be who and what you’d want them to say today.
Courage can be measured in seconds.
Legacy is measured in what remains decades later.
20 years after Mikey Monsoor gave his life to save ours, telling his story is still difficult.
This documentary was hard to film and even harder to watch.
But people deserve to know the man behind the Medal of Honor.
September 29 on @foxnation.
Never forgotten.

This is exceptional.
Brock Purdy says NFL quarterbacks can’t actually see where they’re throwing nearly 40% of the time, and explains why processing information is more important than having a strong arm
"My quarterback coach, Brian Griese, the last couple years, he and I talked about that. He played 11 years, his dad’s Bob Griese. But we got talking about how really it’s 60/40. You can see about 60% of the time, and the other 40% you really can’t. I mean, it doesn’t matter how big you are."
"He goes, that’s why it’s so important when it comes down to knowing coverages, knowing scheme, where our players are supposed to be, how many steps they’re breaking, and where the ball should be over a certain backer. All those things, man, it matters."
"And that’s why guys, you know, if you go to a combine and all those things, you’re just throwing on air, and yeah, you look all good with a strong arm and fast, jumping, all that stuff. But when it comes down to 11-on-11 and you got guys that are a foot taller and you can’t see, it comes down to the processing."
"Like before the play, I know that this safety is probably going to rotate down. It’s going to be one high, and I got one hitch, no more than that, to rip it where Deebo’s supposed to be, like just inside the hash. And there’s a backer that’s also got a 40-inch vert that I got to put it over. That’s what’s crazy, all those things when you’re fitting it in over the backer and underneath the deep safety."

Not every mistake needs a speech.
Not every mistake needs more criticism.
Good coaches know. 👇
The best coaches don’t treat every mistake the same.
Cooper Kupp makes a mistake. Sean McVay doesn’t immediately criticize him.
He tells him:
"Give yourself some grace."
"Love you."
"Sometimes it happens."
That’s coaching.
Not every mistake needs a speech. Not every mistake needs more criticism. Sometimes the player already knows.
The best coaches know their players well enough to understand what they need in that moment.
Sometimes it’s correction.
Sometimes it’s accountability.
And sometimes it’s simply reminding them:
I still believe in you.

Scientists found that studies show the creatine supplement millions take for muscle gains is quietly raising brain energy levels and slowing early Alzheimer's cognitive decline by 30%
Community note
The 30% figure doesn't match published research. The actual peer-reviewed study (NCT05383833) was a small 19-person, 8-week pilot showing an 11% increase in brain creatine. No verified trial matching "30%" appears in clinical trial registries or journals.

As long as the PM is willing to admit the weaknesses/lack of resources highlighted in the final section internally to the team and - this is good to go.
Citadel, Millennium, Point72 and BAM are richer, smarter, and faster than you. Here's how small hedge funds can win regardless:
Alix Pasquet (@alixpasquet), managing partner of hedge fund Prime Macaya Capital Management, explains:
"A lot of game theory is very technical and mathematical, but it really reduces to one thing: play weaker players. Don't get into the ring with Mike Tyson. That's not what you want to do."
"We don't try to compete with the pods. They are richer than we are, smarter than we are, move faster than we are, have more resources, and in many cases are better looking. That's bad for our self-esteem, for our ego, and also our wallet."
"We don't compete with them on who they hire. They're interviewing sophomores and juniors in college now. I can't afford to pay an analyst $300,000 plus a bonus including half a million dollars. But the analytical turnover inside these shops is high enough that you get to hire these kids afterwards."
"Whereas pods have been lengthening their trades to weekly, monthly, we like dynamics that are six to 18 months and above. There's names we've owned forever, and there's names we'll own expecting 18 months where the upside happens in weeks."
"Some of these hedge funds pay the Wall Street banks more to get the first one-on-one meeting with management, so they can trade on it. We don't do that."
"I'm rewriting my business plan for the age of AI, and one of the sections is: we have no requirement in our process that says you have to meet management teams. No requirement that says you need alt data. No requirement for Wall Street research. No requirement to hire from certain schools. Strategy is about trade-offs. Let them have that. We'll be right here. There's a lot more advantage here than you would think."

Would you want to be coached by you? Very profound and simple question. A question most coaches have never asked themselves. A question many coaches wouldn’t want asked nor would they want to answer. It’s yes or no. Coaches, ask yourself this and it’s yes or no. Simple.

Welles Crowther is a hero. A @BCEagles graduate. A son, a brother & friend. At 24, he saved over a dozen lives on 9/11. And he’s known as the “Man in the Red Bandana”.
This story is a must watch every year. May Welles’ memory continue to be a blessing.

AJ Brown says the biggest lesson he’s learned from winning and losing a Super Bowl is to stop obsessing over getting back to one because you can’t control that outcome anyway, so the only useful response is to be present, max out your effort, get better daily and let the chips fall where they may
“I have empathy for the guys because I understand how it feels. It’s not a good feeling. But ultimately it just comes down to your daily process each and every day.”
“Not looking so far ahead. One game at a time. Be present each and every day and just go to work. Because you can’t control the outcome anyway.”
“You can control your effort. And leave it at that. Let the chips fall where they may. Our job is to show up each and every day and just try to get better.”

Steve Kerr says Roger Federer taught his Warriors team the secret to sustained success wasn’t outworking everyone, it was building a life around your craft you never want to escape from
“I’ll tell you a great story about Roger Federer. We were playing in China with the Warriors in 2017. Roger was in Shanghai for the Masters tournament, so we invited him to come speak to the team.”
“Draymond Green asked him, ‘How do you sustain success? How have you managed to win majors 20 years after you first won one?’ Everyone was expecting him to say, ‘I work harder than everybody,’ the will, all the clichés.”
“Roger Federer says, ‘I get up every morning and I make breakfast for my kids. Then I take them to school and drop them off. Then I go practice tennis for about two hours, and I’ve figured out a really good routine where I don’t destroy my body, but I can get all the work in I need.”
“‘Then I go have lunch with my wife. In the evening, we cook dinner together. The kids are all home from school. We ask them about school. There’s so much joy in the house. We put them to bed, and then I put my head on the pillow and go, “Man, that was just a great day.” And I’ve been doing that for 20 years.’”
“And it was like, yes. That’s it. That’s the formula. That’s what leads to sustained success. He loves tennis. He loves his family. He loves life. It’s not outworking everybody and banging your head against the wall, ‘I’m going to be better than everybody.’ It’s allowing your natural talent to shine through with a work ethic, with a great family life, with perspective, with peace, with mindfulness.”
“It’s perspective. It’s joy. It’s passion. It’s mindfulness. It’s an awareness that we are truly lucky. To get the most out of ourselves, it’s our daily rituals and experiences and love and joy.”

Sonny Cumbie on his favorite coaching lesson from Mike Leach.
"Clear mind, fast legs. He said it all the time...It goes to the old Bruce Lee adage, 'I don't fear a man who's practiced ten thousand kicks once. I fear a man who's practiced one kick ten thousand times."
In a world drowning in information and noise, there's something refreshing about returning to the fundamentals.

Body language screams
Bill Belichick says Giants linebacker Carl Banks, uncovered an unbelievable film tell against the Philadelphia Eagles that coaches completely missed
He said, “When the coach puts his arm a certain way, it’s a run. When he wiggles his fingers, it’s a pass.' Now, I was skeptical at first, but I went back and checked the film. And sure enough, the key was entirely accurate."
"It was unbelievable. This key held true whether it was fourth-and-inches or third-and-20. As a player, when you have an advantage like that, it creates an exceptional level of excitement."

Kevin Stefanski says after a devastating loss players study how the head coach walks into the building, and fake confidence doesn't work
“What hurts the most about those moments is it’s hard to win in the NFL. It’s hard. When you have it, you feel like you can just touch it.”
“And then you’re like, ‘I know that’s going to come back at the end of the season.’ You’ve got to go talk to the team. For me, I’m so aware of the team is looking at me, how I respond. There was a part of me that wanted to lose it.”
“But I know even how you walk in the building on Monday after a loss or a win… As a football coach, you get so many opportunities to stand in front of your team, and so much of it is messaging and how you want the guys to feel about a game.”
“Even after a win, sometimes you’ve got to remind them you haven’t figured it all out. I’m very aware of my impact that I have.”
“Everything I do, I just try to be authentic about it. I’ve been around different coaches that maybe act… it’s not real. You just want to be yourself because I think players see right through that.”
“When stuff hurts, you’ve got to let them see that it hurts. And when you’re excited, you let them see that. In the moment in games, I try to be very even-keeled because you’re making decisions every 30 seconds. If I start to lose my mind, I don’t feel like I can make those decisions for the team.”
