Hot sauce or sweet sauce? Same sandwich. Differen Hot sauce or sweet sauce? Same sandwich. Different sauce. Same feedback. Different tone. We talk a lot about mindset, leadership, and communication, but how often do you train the awareness behind your delivery? As a #coach , do you recognize when you’re putting hot sauce or sweet sauce on your message? And more importantly, do you practice choosing which one your player actually needs? One player likes butter on their ham and cheese. Another likes mustard. Same sandwich, different preference. Leadership is the same—it’s emotional. Tone matters. Delivery matters💯 This isn’t about soft or hard coaching. It’s about conscious #leadership … knowing your players and leading with clarity and care. So here’s the challenge: 1. Do you recognize the emotional flavor you’re bringing with your leadership? 2. Do you #train your ability to switch between hot and sweet depending on who’s in front of you? #Mindset isn’t just what we say—it’s how we choose to say it. It’s as simple as that #play4THATfeeling #iykyk
What is flow, really? Flow isn’t just a vibe yo What is flow, really? Flow isn’t just a vibe you can think about or visualize. Flow is earned through experience. It’s not just “feeling good” or “feeling dialed” at summer skates or zoning into flow at home or in practice. Flow is finding and observing unbreakable belief under extremely stressful conditions over and over and over again. When most feel stressed and confused by the overwhelming conditions, you feel relaxed and certain because you’ve seen this scene many times before. Observing Flow under challenging pressure is very different than looking for flow without challenging pressure. That is the real flow gamers are searching for #iykyk The kind that shows up in the game, in chaos, under stress, only comes when you’ve earned certainty through experience. You’ve: 🎯 Identified the stressful moments 🎯 Directed & adapted your behavior in those moments 🎯 Owned the metrics & experiences of those moments through consciously observing reps, nuance, and belief that YOU KNOW are REAL. You saw it work. Not once. But…Over and over and over again. Until there’s no doubt in your heart. Just pure #trust in your process. In your body, your mind, and your spirit. That’s the version of flow we’re after. Not imagined. Proven. Because… You can’t fake action… …or flow. It’s as simple as that #play4THATfeeling #flow

#MyHIGH5 🖐️ Before you build any habit, you #MyHIGH5 🖐️ Before you build any habit, you have to KNOW why it matters to you. Not what someone else says you need — but what you know from experience, from evidence, from your own truth. 💧 Nutrients: What fuel do YOU KNOW actually helps you feel and think better? 😴 Rest: How much sleep do YOU KNOW you truly need to perform and recover? 📚 Studies: What kind of learning do YOU KNOW sharpens your focus or builds your confidence? 🏒 Skills: What specific skill do YOU KNOW you need to practice each day to keep it sharp? 🤝 Relationships: Who do YOU KNOW brings out your best when you’re around them? These five are your daily #mindset anchors. Start by identifying one truth you know in each area — then build from there. Own your #habit process 👀🧠 It’s as simple as that #play4THATfeeling
If you truly want to lead—start by learning how If you truly want to lead—start by learning how to lead yourself. One of the core frameworks we teach our players and coaches is simple: Questions → Stories → Conversations Here’s what that looks like in action: 💭 1. What’s an important question you’re asking yourself right now? Player: “Why am I not on the power play?” Coach: “Why aren’t my players responding the way I hoped?” Parent: “Why is my kid not enjoying the game this year?” 🧠 2. What story are you telling yourself—and what belief is it creating? Player: “I’m not good enough.” Coach: “They just don’t get it.” Parent: “Something must be wrong with the environment.” 🗣 3. Go have a conversation for clarity. Player: “Coach, can we talk about how I can earn more opportunity?” Coach: “What are you experiencing in your role right now?” Parent: “Can we connect on how my kid is adjusting to the team?” This isn’t about overthinking—it’s about learning how to think clearly. Because most people won’t clarify things for you the way you wish they would. YOUR thought process is your RESPONSIBILITY #iykyk The world moves fast. Most leaders are overwhelmed. So what if, instead of waiting to be led, you practiced leading yourself? What if the greatest gift you could give to any team… was becoming the kind of person who seeks clarity— through honest questions, real stories, and courageous conversations? That’s #mindset work. That’s #leadership And that’s how #trust gets built from the inside out. It’s as simple as that #play4THATfeeling
