Building Identity Beyond the Championship
“We can't live in the past. The 2014, they won the national championship. This year, we didn't. So, I mean, we just took everything down in the weight room and everything. So, you know, we can focus on being ourselves. And, you know, this is our season.”
Leadership, Growth, and Mental Toughness
“When you're down and you're upset, you're not going to be thinking rationally and making the correct decisions. So just be able to reel it in and take it one day, one minute at a time.”

“When you're down and you're upset, you're not going to be thinking rationally and making the correct decisions. So just be able to reel it in and take it one day, one minute at a time.”

“You played to the 59th minute with the team that won the national championship last year. Like you're that close. That's what I'm saying. We just like work harder. That's kind of coach makes a saying, you know, nobody cares, just work harder.”
