CONSISTENTLY DOING MORE THAN WHAT'S EXPECTED

Personal excellence begins with doing more than what is expected, more than what the terms of the contract specify. The NFL is not for the faint-hearted, you must be over-the-top crazy, hyper-intense, super-focused, and totally dedicated. Doing more than the minimum; never focusing on the language in the contract or the strict construction of the suggested workout. It is all about doing more, run more, lift more, study more, sell more, and serve more.
