Nick Saban shares one of the best definitions of discipline and the two questions that determine your success. "Discipline defined: Do what you're supposed to do, when you're supposed to do it, the way it's supposed to get done." "Do the right thing, the right way, the right time, all the time." Then he talks about self-discipline and the two questions to ask yourself: "But I'm talking about self-discipline." "We answer hundreds of questions every day that come down to these 2 things." (1) "Here's something I know I'm supposed to do that I really don't want to do. Can you make yourself do it?" (2) "And then over here - there's something you know you're not supposed to do, but you want to do it. Can you keep yourself from it?" The willpower battle that you fight every day. Self-discipline is choosing what you need over what you want in this moment.. "But we're talking about feeling versus choice." "You're gonna do what you feel like doing or you're gonna choose to do the things you need to do to be successful. And there's a difference in that." To achieve your goals, you need to choose daily discipline over motivation. It means prioritizing your goals and what you want for the temporary discomfort of today.

Nick Saban said, "There can be no great victories in your life unless you overcome adversity." "You can’t be a great competitor unless you overcome adversity. That's mental." The best aren't fearless - they just keep showing up. They' choose toughness, persistence, and grit.

Derek Jeter said, "You know I've failed plenty." "But I'm not afraid of it." Mental toughness isn’t about avoiding fear. It’s standing tall in the middle of it. That’s what makes you different.👇
