Create Evidence for Yourself

😳“CREATING EVIDENCE”😳

“You start with BELIEF, you stand on EVIDENCE. FACTS don't care about FEELINGS. When you get there, nobody cares HOW you got there, they care about how YOU can HELP!” (Former @NFL Linebacker Will Compton)

Former NFL player addresses Notre Dame football players. He advises them:

• To create evidence for themselves
• Not to confuse facts with feelings ("I feel like I should play")
• Everyone is competing but not all competing the same

Build your evidence:

• One rep at a time
• One set at a time
• One film session at a time
• One practice at a time

Lagniappe. This is one of my favorite memories of MVB 25...from the road opener at Belmont. 

This doesn't capture the exact moment at Belmont, between sets. Three freshman girls in the back row were giggling like, freshman girls, despite trailing in the match. The best teams PLAY volleyball. Be joyful.
