The legendary Bill Walsh had a “Standard of Performance” for his players that ultimately helped the 49ers DOMINATE in the 80’s. Just another reason why you must read one of my favorite books; “The Score Takes Care of Itself”. Adopt this mentality and let your team come out on top. Rest in Peace, Bill Walsh.

Can we agree that this is a legitimate fear? Yes, yes we can. So ask yourself again… What are your fears?

The Notorious Conor McGregor jumps in the ring because he loves what he does.. His obsession with living a simultaneous lifestyle of fighting might come off as “unhealthy” to others, but McGregor observes the average “routine” lifestyle as most unhealthy above all. I admire Conor’s way of thinking because I, myself, can NOT stop thinking progressively in regards to what I do. My favorite quote from Conor’s clip: “Do I look unhealthy? Take a look at this physique!”
