Charlie Weis' "No Excuses"...

When I was in Eugene, Melynda was wonderful enough to buy me Charlie Weis' just released book. (Part of the proceeds go to his daughters special needs foundation as well, which made it more meaningful for her to buy it for me). Reading this has been super interesting b/c it's not a "Guide to coaching" but a story of his rise, with a few stories of coaching here and there...

"If you know what you're doing you don't feel pressure. Pressure is something that's self-inflicted. Different people handle it different ways. The key to not letting it get the better of you is preparation. If you're prepared and know what you're doing you should be able to handle the pressure because you should feel confident that you have the answers to the test."

Have a good week...
