One of the most challenging areas of high achievement is remembering that success is like a brick house…it is built one brick at a time, one layer at a time. The work you put in each day is one more brick of growth that leads to your future success but only if you stack that brick today.

This video from Greg Rose couldn’t be more true. It is such good advice to players of all ages and not just in your skill work. In business we think of ROI (short term and long term) as the primary driver of our decisions. This has to be the main focus on the field, in the weight room, at the dinner table, getting into bed, etc. I often times define this to our professional, college and youth athletes as “work ethic>hard work.” Hard work is the action of putting forth effort, while work ethic is the application of hard work toward underlying principle or set of moral values that drives an individual to work diligently, responsibly, and with integrity. A strong work ethic includes traits like reliability, punctuality. dedication, focus, etc which combine with hard work to achieve goals.

Protein is the athlete’s repair crew and growth fuel. Every sprint, lift, or swing breaks down muscle fibers, and protein supplies the amino acids that rebuild them stronger. It drives muscle protein synthesis, balances hormones, supports the immune system, and even keeps your brain sharp under fatigue. For athletes, protein does four critical jobs: it repairs damaged tissue, builds new muscle, speeds recovery, and protects overall health. Without enough, training gains stall, recovery slows, and the risk of injury rises. With it, your body adapts faster, bounces back quicker, and performs at its peak.
