THE GRIND

GRIND: Get Ready, It's a New Day


After a great workout today with the baseball team, I was reminded of two of my favorite motivational videos posted by the TCU Baseball team: "Quiet Confidence" and "The Grind".

Check these videos out and get motivated:

The Grind

“Welcome to the grind.  For what is each day but a series of conflicts between the right way and the easy way? 10,000 streams fan out like a river delta before you, each one promising the path of least resistance.  Thing is…you’re headed upstream. 

And when you make that choice, when you decide to turn your back on what’s comfortable, and safe, and what some would call “common sense,” well that’s DAY ONE.  From there it only gets tougher. 

So just make sure this is something you want, because the easy way out will always be there, ready to wash you away.  All you have to do is pick up your feet…” 

Quiet Confidence

“Don’t worry about the things you can’t control.  It’s a waste of your time and a waste of mine.  The only things you can control when stepping out on that diamond are EFFORT and ATTITUDE.  You give 100% of both, and I assure you, you WILL see results.”

“A true champion emerges in the early morning hours, a determined force, wet with sweat, deprived of breath, mentally driving the body beyond fatigue, beyond pain, beyond reason, to the point of exhaustion.  How far an athlete can push the limit when no one is watching;  THAT’S the essence of a champion.”
