Confidence isn't built by telling yourself in the mirror that you're awesome. It comes from stacking wins that prove who you really are and what you can do.

"A verse I’ve thought about a lot lately.

Im gonna be honest. I worry a lot about my son’s futures and what they will encounter and deal with from the world.

But I’m reminded that all I can do is train them and raise them the very best that I can; Instill in them the values and moral compass to stay the course and walk the straight and narrow path.

I’m not putting that responsibility on the world. It’s on us.

If we want to change the world, let’s start by raising men and women equipped with the values, integrity, and courage to be leaders of character.

“Train up a child in the way they should go, so that when they are old, they will not depart”

Repost with supporting graphics: Kelli is referencing Dr. Ken Clark's NFL Combine study.

As an oversimplified analogy, think of two cars:

Car A: Max speed = 200mph
Car B: Max speed = 20mph

If we "floor" the gas pedal on each car for just 20s, car A is going to win.

Applying this to sports for example, raising your 1RM will raise your 5RM. In a 40 yard dash, the faster you launch your rocket in the first 10 yards, the faster you'll get to the 40 yard line (assuming you have the capacity to sustain the final 30 yards).
