Happy Birthday to my beautiful, smart, kind, thoughtful, selfless, incredible wife. The kids & I are so blessed to have you in our lives!! Thank you for all you do for this family. I’m the luckiest guy in the world to call you mine forever. You make 34 look amazing! Love you!

Take care of the tiniest detail, because the little details add up until they represent significant differences. Let nothing slip through the cracks. – Bill Belichick The seemingly little details now will be glaring come November...! How bad do you want it?!? #ALLIN

Excited to have another year with you big guy! @Flaamingoo_ is a great athlete, but better human. Welcomed my family and I to the Gator Family a year ago! Give this a read if you want a glimpse into what our family looks like. xitter.gq/gatorstf/status/100978…

I think everybody should take the attitude that we're working to be a champion, that we want to be a champion in EVERYTHING that we do. EVERY choice, EVERY decision, EVERYTHING that we do EVERY day, we want to be a champion. – Nick Saban * Be willing to invest in the process*

110% agree with this. Everyone thinks you get better at practice. What sets the great apart from the good is what you are doing the other 22 hours of the day. “How bad do you want it” should be a constant question. xitter.gq/jcissik/status/1004690…

The product of partial & inconsistent effort is inconsistent & mediocre results. Be consistent & purposeful when you train & you will garner consistent & successful results. Which result do you want? A thought next time you feel lazy & have choice to train or be lazy #ALLIN

Everybody wants to do it. Not everybody is willing to do what they have to do to do it. – Nick Saban *Setting a goal is a very important first step. Holding yourself accountable w/ daily follow through, (even on the days you don’t feel like it) allow that goal to seem possible!*

Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting for the other person to die. Let it go. Life is way too short to live angry. Try to find the positive in whatever is thrown your way. Breath in the positivity and exhale the negativity.

You're not a failure if you don't reach your dream, you're only a failure if you don't commit yourself to your dreams. – Jay Wright

Your best players have to unite and inspire the group… otherwise, they’ll divide the group. – Jeff Van Gundy

Focus on executing a great race more than the time at the end of the race. A well executed process leads to a successful result. There is no happy result without a focused process.

A failure is like fertilizer--it stinks to be sure, but it makes things grow faster in the future. -Dennis Waitley

I’m still waiting for perfection. In the meantime, I’ll settle for persistence. – Bo Ryan

Mistakes are the necessary steps in the learning process; once they have served their purpose, they should be forgotten and not repeated. – Vince Lombardi

Words that every collegiate athlete in this generation should read. Keep things in perspective, never loose sight of your goals despite speed bumps, and always be learning. Failure isn’t bad, but productive. Someone has to be NFL MVP, why not you...?

Nobody has enough talent to live on talent alone. Even when you have talent, a life without work goes nowhere and ends with regret.

You can either lower goals to match your effort or you can raise your effort to match your goals. – Jim Taylor

Don't mistake activity for achievement. Practice the right way all the time. – John Wooden
