One of my favorite interview questions:

"If I told you right now that in one month we're doing a pickleball challenge — you vs. me — what would you do?"

No wrong answer. But the answer tells me everything.

Do they laugh it off? Do they immediately start problem-solving? Do they ask questions about my game? Do they go home and watch YouTube tutorials that night?

I'm not looking for a pickleball player. I'm looking for someone who shows up to compete — someone who takes even a low-stakes challenge seriously enough to figure out how to win.

Competitiveness isn't just a personality trait. It's a pattern. And this question surfaces it fast.

Here’s what they don’t tell you about making it to an NFL roster.

The goalpost moves the second you hit it.

That's not failure — that's the game.

Learn to love the process before you ever reach the goal, because the goal won't give you what you think it will.

Being wildly competitive is both a gift and a liability.

I've won things that weren't good for me. Chased goals just because someone else was chasing them.

But here's what I figured out early: I wasn't naturally the most talented guy in the room. So I fabricated a different kind of win.

I decided to be the hardest worker. The one putting in the most inputs — in the areas nobody else was even paying attention to.

You can't always out-talent someone. But you can almost always out-work them in the thing that actually matters.

Use your competitiveness for that. Be the person who puts in the most reps, not just the person who wants the trophy.

The inputs are the win.

The more you do something, the easier it is to just be that person 100% of the time.

90% is actually harder than 100%.

When the standard is "most of the time," you're constantly negotiating with yourself. Every situation becomes a decision: is this one of the times I do it or not?

When the standard is just the standard — it removes the negotiation entirely.

Make it non-negotiable. It gets easier, not harder.

One thing you'll hear from almost every ex-NFL player?

What they miss most isn't the game.

It's the locker room.

The caliber of human who's willing to push themselves to that level — and being surrounded by it every single day.

That changes you.

Not because of the wins. Because of what it does to your standard for what's normal.

That's what I'm building here.

07/26/2026

The greatest lesson the NFL gave me wasn't about winning.

It was about failing publicly — and surviving it.

When you've been embarrassed on a stage that big, the fear of looking like an amateur in real estate, in business, in leadership... it loses its grip.

Failure is inevitable. That's not pessimism, that's reality. The question was never "can I avoid it?" The question became "how fast can I fix it?"

That shift changed everything for me.

If you're waiting until you're "ready" to take the next step — you're not afraid of failing. You're afraid of what people will think when you do.

Get out of the stands. Fail on the field. Fix it. Repeat.
