Want to know why some teams win year after year, even when the players change?
Habits.
How you practice, prepare, and handle the little things.
Good habits lead to better decisions.
Better decisions lead to better results.
Curt Cignetti nails it. 🔥

Pete Carroll says winning championships was never actually the point
“It isn’t about winning the championship. It’s not about that. As soon as you win it, it’s over with. It’s in your back pocket. You’ve already done that.”
“That’s not the motivator. The motivator is to be the best you can possibly be. That’s ongoing. It never ends. I’m not a big goals guy.”
“Goals, you achieve them. To me, I want ongoing, never-ending aspirations of being great at what you’re doing. There is no one game that is the only game. There is no one accomplishment that’s the only accomplishment.”
“Can you come back again? Is that really who you are? Is that worth fighting for?”
“Can you be true to yourself? Can you really be yourself under all circumstances? No matter what happens, when you get your ass whipped in the freaking Super Bowl, when you had two in a row and you’re two seconds from doing it again, can you come back after that moment and still be who you are?”
“That was what the challenge was to me. As hard as that looked, as hard as it felt, and as hard as it was on all the people around me, I took it like this: ‘Okay, you knew this was going to happen sometime.’ ‘Are you going to be the real deal or not?’”

Maxx Crosby (@CrosbyMaxx) shares the framework that changed how he approaches his career and his life.
"One of the greatest coaches I've ever been around is Rob Marinelli and Rich Bisaccia. They helped me grow as a person and as a player probably more than anybody I've ever been around in the NFL."
They taught him the microscope and the telescope.
"The microscope is the day-to-day. That's the most important. Over 90% of the time, you're focused on the microscope."
"The telescope is the future - 2 to 3 years from now. What's your ultimate goal? What do you see yourself becoming? How am I gonna get to that point?"
"You just peek at that from time to time. You think about it at night a little bit, you think about it in the morning, think about it after a workout. Like, 'That's why I did that. That's why I push myself 'cause I'm getting to that.'"
"But majority of the time, I'm in the microscope."
The telescope gives you direction. The microscope gives you progress.
Then he connected it to something deeper:
"That's another big thing I learned in sobriety. It's cliché, but at the end of the day, it's how I live my life. One day at a time. All that matters is being here and being where my feet are."
"I'm not worried about the future. I'm not worried about the past. I'm just worried about right now."
Don't get caught up in the past or worry about the future because the present moment is the only place where we can truly make a difference.
"I've learned and realized that I can be so much more productive just by being present instead of worrying about, 'Oh shit, where do I go next?' Just be where you're at."
90% microscope. 10% telescope.
It comes down to focus and where we focus that energy.
