🎯 Action Step for Lesson 2: What Coaches Are Really Looking For
1. Download the Coach’s Quote Wall from the lesson. 2. Pick the quote that hits you the hardest. 3. Post it here in the group and explain why it speaks to you. This isn’t about picking the “right” answer — it’s about showing what fuels you and how you connect with the mindset of a D1 athlete. “My favorite quote: ‘Can’t trust you on Saturday if I can’t trust you on Monday.’ This one speaks to me because it’s a reminder that consistency matters more than hype. If I don’t show up and handle the little things during the week, I can’t expect anyone to trust me when it’s game time.”

📓 Action Step for Lesson 1: D1 Is a Mindset Before It’s a Level
Drop a quick snapshot of your daily routine here in the community. Think of it as an open-journal style post: - What time do you wake up? - How do you structure school, training, recovery, and free time? - Where do you feel most locked in, and where do you feel you’re slipping? Keep it real, not perfect. The point is to build awareness and accountability with each other. 👉 After posting, head back into the lesson discussion and comment 1 takeaway that stood out to you from today’s lesson. Example Journal Snapshot (just to spark ideas): “Wake up at 6:30 → quick stretch and breakfast. Classes from 8–12, then gym right after. Film study in the afternoon, dinner around 7, then homework and recovery work (ice, stretch). I feel locked in during morning lifts, but honestly I’ve been slacking on sleep — scrolling on my phone too late. Gotta tighten that up.”
