waking up for nobody and I need you to get that engine I need that drive because you know know what to do you you're the right person to do it but you just can't seem to get out of bed you can't seem to do what you're supposed to do every time you come up against a trial or a tribulation you let it stop it you got to find your why and your why is what's going to start you and the problem with some of you in this room you don't have no drive you ain't got

nothing pushing you you ain't got no reason for waking up in the morning you ain't got no reason for pushing past that pain you have no reason you better find one before before you get out of here today you better go inside you still looking outside for the stuff that's already inside you still looking for someone to save you when you already your superhero you looking for some information from somebody when you already got what you need in your head it's just time for you to get up and be the best version of you it's

not an option and the reason why some of you are not where you supposed to be you've given yourself an option you've given yourself an out you've given yourself an excuse you've given yourself room not to do it but you have what it takes give me some energy I can I can I will I will I must I must come on I can I can come on I will I will I must I must I can let's go let's go let's go let's [Applause] go I can't means I have the ability to do it I

got what it take I have the ability to do it I will I have the willpower to make it happen I must my wife needs me I must my son need I must my daughter needs me we can we will and we must get through this let's go I want to ask you a question seriously this going to be hard cuz some some of you young and you like still worried about what people think about you so you don't want to be honest in front of people want you to think about what level you want

are you giving 90 80 70 listen see what I'm saying for a minute I I gave everything I got I have no more to give like I really put 120 into this so raise your hand if you're giving 120 like I ain't got no more to give e e I'm giving I'm giving a 100 e i I know I got I'm just doing at least what coach want me to do I'm doing everything coach want me to do I'm giving about 90% he I'm going be real I'm giving about 90% let me see your hand

of my effort let me see your hands I'm giving about 80% let me see your hand 70% let me see your hand I need you for you to admit where you are what is it going to take for you to give every single thing you got what is that going to take it's consistency and so I got to go to bed at a certain time I got to wake up at a certain time there's certain things I can't eat certain things I can't watch certain things I can't do and I'm talking about that grind I

got an opportunity you got an opportunity so here's the deal when you have an opportunity why would you give 80% when you have an opportunity somebody answer that for me y'all y'all talk why would you give 80% 70% why wouldn't you always give 120% this right here for a lot of y'all y'all a got got no discipline it's killing you it's killing you and you don't even realize it's killing you it's killing you if you're not giving 120 I'm not mad at you my job is not to dog you out cuz once we go back

out my goal is to come here and take you to that next level from today on you play whatever your best game is you play that level every single time it doesn't mean you going to score every time but the effort has it you can always give 120% effort life going to go on regardless mental toughness it is in those times we have to be stronger than we've ever been before why because they need us more than they ever needed us before I just want to make sure that the light we got left that is

sweeter than the light that if I wasn't focused and I wasn't do what I was supposed to do and we going to make it the best possible it's your life you got it what you going to do with it I want to ask you a question seriously how many of y'all in this room you like your e it is my life but I ain't been in control of it as much as I should be in control of it and after the day I'm taking more control of it let me see your hand be honest with

me come on let me see your hands and so you looked up to who when you play ball like who were the people you looked up to Kobe Kobe Kobe LeBron CP D way Kobe I I was the same thing with me with Dr mther King in Washington like all those people I got a dream when I saw Malcolm like boom and I saw hundreds of black men boom like let's go I'm like like I could do that and then when I found out I could make money doing it and I could take care of

my family I was like Showtime like you only got one shot e so here what I'm saying opportunity you have an opportunity of a lifetime when you understand you have an opportunity you just you play a little [Music] different here's what I want to tell you if you going to get it you going to have to have that dog you going to have to have that dog you going to have to be that dude that say I'm not just going with skills there's a there's a one type of dude who feel like because he's gifted

that it's just an automatic role for him let me tell y'all something you are gifted but you better humble yourself you got skill and you got will two total different things you were born with certain things but to get to the next level and not just get to the next level to stay at the next level you got to have will when you get to that next level so when you play you have to compete it's Sports it's basketball why wouldn't you give 120% talk to me what would what would make you not give 120%

you got to answer it you play that level every single time it doesn't mean you going to score every time but the effort has it you can always give 120% effort you can't dictate if the ball going to always go in you can't dictate what kind of game you going to have you can't dictate how your body is going to respond to moving around but you can dictate your what you can dictate your good you can dictate your you can always give 120% the effort like here's the deal when y'all go play tonight tomorrow my

goal is for you to go 120 so you going to have the right people in here helping y'all but if you do giving me 70 80 90 you ain't giving me 120 you're not going to get out of this experience what you're supposed to get out that's my job why don't you always give 120% effort it's your turn you can't push yourself forward if all you thinking about is the doubts and the negative things that people are saying because you're relying more on their ideas and their dreams of you instead of you relying on your

own dreams and ideas of yourself why would you want to surround yourself with people that don't have ideas that are great why would you want to surr surround yourself because of a number you know a lot of people tend to wonder oh how many friends they have and how many people in their corner or I have a million followers I have tens and thousands and thousands and thousands of people that support me how many of those people do you actually know do you realize the power that you have right now even the people that don't

like you they are drawn to you they see you but they don't see your greatness they don't see what you truly have inside they are afraid of it they don't lift it up they don't encourage it because they're not happy so they want you to come on their side they want you to believe in their ideas of what you think of yourself they doubt you and you believe what they doubt out instead of you waking up from your Slumber instead of you waking up from this nightmare of Despair and letting your opportunities come to life

it's going to be a tough time ladies and gentlemen it's going to be rough it's going to be some tough times and tough days ahead for you but that doesn't mean your ideas are going to die that doesn't mean that you stop that doesn't mean you stop believing in yourself you just got to keep on working when you got people looking at you from the left side and the right side from the front to the back and you in the middle just remember everybody's watching just give them something to see let them see it or

you watching me watch this or you want to stop me you can't stop this that's the mentality that you must have in [Music] yourself don't you dare give up now I know what that pain feels like I know how to absorb that pain and I know how to keep marching and I know how to keep moving and I know how to get productive in my life can't stop but you didn't create you can hate it but you can't dominate it cuz it belongs to me your ideas belongs to you so many people dream big dreams

but they never take any action so listen to me carefully if you don't believe in yourself you've already lost the battle not believing in yourself is a losing battle because either you won't try at all or you will convince yourself that you can't do it and when you convince yourself that you can't do it your results are going to confirm what you believe you fall short of your goals when you predict that you're not going to hit them and sometimes you're too focused on probability you're asking yourself well what's the likelihood of this happening versus

focusing on the possibility asking yourself how would my life change if I accomplish this ask yourself that question and don't wait on approval for anyone outside of you and don't feel bad because you feel like no one is cheering for you no you've got to decide that you are your biggest fan you've got to decide that you're going to finish what you started if you don't have one person supporting you if nobody acknowledges you acknowledge yourself if nobody supports you support yourself this is the thing if you keep showing up if you keep going hard

if you stay consistent through your Valley moments your results will turn those who ignored you into fans it's not not that you don't want everything that comes with the path that leads to your true potential but you were too hung up on blaming the past and the present you were too hung up on blaming your mom for how she treated you when you were younger you were too hung up on blaming your teachers for how they spoke to you you're too hung up on the shy thing that happened to you years ago I'm not trying

to discredit your pain but you got to let that go and because of that you aren't able to appreciate the strength and power you have today you aren't able to step into that power because you are choosing to justify excuses every single time you open youring eyes it's time to take responsibility understand that you are in control of how you feel every day what you do every day how you act every day so don't get it twisted the excuse that the these outside sources control how you feel what you do and how you act is

just a justification that has been drilled into your head since you were younger break out of it understand that we have the power to change our lives stop putting the power in other people's hands by blaming them for your current situation take that [ __ ] back that back choose to shift the trajectory of your life so you can live up to your true potential and don't for one second think it's going to be easy if it's important to you you're going to find a way you won't have to look for a resource you will

become resourceful it's not always about the accomplishment it's about the effort if we can just keep the effort going the excuse is irrelevant got to be stronger to your excuses excuses don't get results we get one opportunity to come this way we get one shot we got one life to live life is too short to make [Music] excuses life is going to be hard no one said it was supposed to be easy life isn't fair sometimes you just got to do it [Music] alone what do you do how do you live how do we get

through it you got to stand up you got to get up the path that you have chosen was never designed to be easy some people want it easy but I dare you to go the hard way what do we do with the life that has been given how do we face the circumstances that have been brought before us do we give up do we stand up do we push through those are the questions that we ask each and every day when we are faced with adversity Hard Times create tough Mass tough Mass creates tough characters

but you got to carry on so when it gets tough you got to get tougher when you're standing on your own two feet and the storm is coming in you still got to stand and sometimes you just got to stand alone greatness requires work and hard work is how you get it you don't give up because it's hard you don't give up because it's challenging you don't give up on you let the hard work begin so when you're St standing alone make sure you stand with a pure heart with a great mindset because there's no

one like you there's nothing that can stop you no one can do the things that you do no one can stand like you [Music] do you have to keep going you have to be truthful to who you are and [Music] inside it was never desired to be [Music] easy don't give up go for it the question is how hungry are you how much are you willing to give of yourself because it's really ultimately up to you you can't sit around and waste time you can't sit around and determine that everything is going to go your

way because it will not go your way all the time but I tell you what if you keep laying around wasting time time is going to continue to carry on with or without you because you have already decided to lay in your bed because you were just too tired to get up it's up to you to make a difference so that you can be a Difference Maker it's up to you to be a solution and not a problem that means you got to be serious and you got to be willing and you got to be

dedicated you got to take that leap of faith I understand it will never be easy I understand that I got to work I understand that sometimes I want to give up but I will not give up so while you're sitting around moping around blaming everybody for what you're not doing guess what nobody's going to sit around and wait for you to do the right thing for yourself because it's all up to you so just get busy you are on your way success doesn't have time for your excuses success doesn't have time for your laziness success

doesn't have time for the person who doesn't truly want to [Music] change I know you are scared but turn that fear and to fire we've all been there and we've all been afraid of something but don't give up you keep trusting you keep believing you keep going embrace the suck and keep on fighting it's okay that you fail but don't think you don't have what it takes don't doubt don't be ashamed trust in who you are I must work I must believe I will fight I will work I will push and I will never quit

on [Music] me I know that I have to work I know that I have to believe I know I have to trust in me you got to show up sometimes we are going to have to just deal with the circumstances and the challenges that we face you can't be soft you can't be weak and expect the greatness to come out of you you can't expect anything good to come out of nothing if you're not giving nothing you get nothing now get up and do your work when it comes to the work ethic that's when you

have to dig deeper that's when you have to work harder that's when you have to shut out all the noise and all the naysayers sometime ladies and gentlemen you just have to be quiet and listen to your past listen to your heart listen to your truth it's okay sometimes because these things are going to happen no matter how hard you work but you don't have the right to give up you don't have the right to give in and stop playing a Blame Game and go about your business when you have been pushed back pushed back

even harder I dare you to go down that path that many refuse to go pain passion Focus Faith you put it together you will be an Unstoppable Force no one's good at everything I mean that's just not the way life works what you know is very limited and what you don't know is Limitless the man who led us to six Super Bowls those who stay will be Champions War number 12 the greatest of all time right here in Tom Brady if I want to be the best I got to beat the best man if I

want to be good I got to I got to wake up in the morning I got to do the extra work and I got to show up when other guys aren't and I've got to learn I've got to continue to be open to learning but I had to take it to a new level that the other guys wouldn't nothing was given to me so I'm going to go out there and compete as hard as I can and I'm going to treat practice like a game and I'm going to gain the respect of my teammates every

day through my work ethic I'm going to work hard in the weight room I'm going to work hard in the film room I'm going to work hard to be a good student whatever they asked me to do that's what I'm going to do to the best of my ability I never once in my life ever said I wanted to be the best of all the time I'm just a story like everybody else I wanted to be the best I could be period And I said be proud of the man in the glass be proud of

that man that wakes up every day and does the best you could do with his priorities so we're all talented at certain things but we can really continue to improve our weaknesses if we're humble enough to identify them and we can build on our strengths focus on what you can control focus on what you're getting not what anyone else is getting whenever you get an opportunity you take advantage of you treat it like it's the Super Bowl you treat it like it's game day go out there and treat practice like no one else does and

you have an opportunity every day to surround yourself with people to help you grow you know I always said we play for the name on the front of our Jersey was a Patriots a Buck or and I played for the name on the back of the Jersey which was my family and the people that encouraged [Music] me I was so blessed to have this discipline over a really long period of time it was a lot of tough [Music] competition but I was never I would say like a prodigy you know I wasn't like the kid

where you see Tiger Wood swinging on the Johnny Carson show at 2 or 3 years old and you know his swing looks as good as it did at 3 years old as it did you know as he as he grew older or you know certain players that that had this unbelievable uh Prodigy aspect to themselves I I I saw myself as someone who probably had some other traits that maybe were hard to identify but that were really sustainable over time which was I would say work ethic and and [Music] discipline there was this discip discipline

that I had that even as 133 14 15 years old where all these other boys were I went to an all boy School in the Bay Area and I remember showing up my first day as freshman year I didn't have much you know hair under my arms or anything like that I was like and these other kids came in shaving I'm like what the hell is this I didn't know how to put the pads on in my pants when I tried out for freshman football I mean I had never played until that point except in

the streets so these kids came out there they had you know helmets and shoulder pads that they worn for 4 years I went on the field and I was like I'm going to get killed out here you know and my freshman year I didn't even play I was the backup quarterback on a team that went 0 and8 I couldn't get on the field and we never won a game anyway I mean it's one thing to be the starting quarterback and to lose if they don't even think you're good enough to be a starting quarterback on

a team that's own eight you must really suck so naturally I was like oh cool I'll continue to you know work on my skill a lot of it was even going into my second year in high school there were workouts in the morning at 6:00 a.m. before school and I was like okay I can I can get up at 6:00 a.m. and I can go do these rope drills where you'd run through the Rope you see a lot of people do that there were these Hills that we would run up and there was probably less

than 10 people there but I was probably one of the three that were there almost every single day to try to continue to push myself to grow in these maybe physical areas that I was really behind a lot of other people that and I went in there competed really hard my third year and I lost the starting job to Brian greasy so I go into my fourth year and I was like now's my time I worked hard to compete my first three years going into my fourth year I got a great opportunity to play and

they recruited a kid named Drew Hensen and I was like the competition's Relentless at first I was looking at the guys ahead of me now I got to be looking down at the guys behind me to and going into my fourth year my teammates named me team captain and I won the starting job we had a good year we finished 10 and three you know beat everyone out and then I showed up and Coach car says well you're going to compete with Drew Henson to be the starter going into your fifth year and I was

like you got to be kidding me you want me to compete that's what we're going to do I competed really hard again in my fifth year took it to a new level thought about my conditioning my strength thought about how I was doing my making my decisions off the field I was starting to play really good and I thought you know I'm going to I'm going to have a chance coach Carr called me in he said well Tom this is what we're going to do you're going to start Drew you're going to play the second

quarter and I'm going to decide at halftime who plays the rest of the year coach car said the platoon's off Tom's playing the rest of the year we didn't lose a game the rest of the season it was a tough battle for me going it was a tough go it was tough in high school it was really tough in college so of course now I'm going to the NFL draft and I'm like all these Pro coaches must have seen how good I was man I'm going to be a second round pick round one two and

here we go sixth round pick 199 and I was like all right I'm going to make all those other teams pay like I said I wasn't The Prodigy I learned about work ethic I learned about resilience I learned about gaining the trust and the respect of my teammates and coaches to name me Captain I learned about how to dig deep within myself a long way from home without a ton of support I was so motivated to be the best I could be that it wasn't I wasn't motivated to be the starter I wasn't motivated to

win the Super Bowl I just was motivated to give my best do the best with the opportunity I got and to never let my teammates [Music] down all those experiences that we think are the hardest things in our life and the being the best experience in our life because if you approach it with humility and you look inward they become the best opportunities for growth and learning [Music] but most people could say man I want to exercise for one day well I want to be more hydrated for one day well can you do it for

a week well that's more discipline right can you do it for a month that's more discipline can you do it for a year that's even more disciplined how disciplined are you to maintain that routine over a period of time and I think that will determine your level of success Fame didn't motivate me I didn't give a about any of it I always took less money cuz I wanted a good team around me I didn't care about going to all these different places and doing those things I just wanted to to be my best I wanted

to go out there and the team believed in me I didn't want to let him down if I want to be the best I got to beat the best [Music] [Music]
