The weight room doesn't care how talented you are.
It doesn't care about your last game, your excuses, or what you think you're capable of.
You either show up and put in the work, or you don't.
And here's what young athletes need to understand...
The work you put in this winter will show up when it matters this spring.
Don't waste the offseason. βΎοΈπͺ

What does it mean to have a growth Monday ritual?
Mark Few explains the process Gonzaga uses to work on mental toughness and adversity.
"We spend probably 25-30% of the athlete's time now on mental."
Then he explained what that looks like: "We do this thing called PGMs - Personal Growth Mondays."
"We start every Monday with this Personal Growth Monday. Staff, myself, coaches aren't allowed in there. It's just the players and Travis Knight, our strength coach and mental coach."
They invest the time every week. You can't let the mental game be an afterthought.
"They can dive into a myriad of anything that's currently happening or that they've requested...Processing pressure. Processing expectations. Lack of confidence. Hitting adversity. Handling success."
The best teams train the mind, the body, and develop the person.
Your mind is affected by your daily thoughts, habits and unconscious biases.
Mental fitness helps you build resilience and thrive.
Without investing time in mental fitness, managing stress, anxiety, and challenges becomes harder.

Stats donβt build culture.
Screens. Charges. Loose balls. Doing the little things for your teammates.
The things that donβt show up in the box score are often what make teams great.

The best coaches are great teachers. Not only do they have a vast knowledge of their sport, but they also know how to teach it to every one of their players.

Most golfers lose shots on uneven lies because they try to swing the same way they do on flat ground.
Uneven lies used to mess me up until I figured out a few simple rules that actually work.
First always club up and take a shorter more controlled three quarter swing. Align your shoulders with the slope of the ground and just focus on solid contact instead of trying to be perfect.
Ball above your feet it wants to go left so choke down stand taller and a bit closer then feel a flatter baseball style swing. Aim a little right.
Ball below your feet it wants to go right so grip full length widen your stance and sit down into it. Keep the weight in your heels and stay in that squat through impact. Aim a little left.
Uphill lie the ball comes out high and short so put it closer to your higher foot let the weight stay on the back foot and swing up the slope. Take one more club.
Downhill lie it comes out low and hot so put the ball back in your stance match your shoulders to the slope and swing down it. Account for the extra roll.
Once these feel natural the bad lies stop costing you so many shots.
