Mistakes are going to happen, in the game of life and in sports, and you have two options after making a mistake, you can either learn from it or be crushed by it. So many people try to live in such a way that they never make a mistake, but that's just not realistic. How can you use that mistake to your advantage and not your advantage? Make it 1,000 mph. When you go into that mistake, you cannot let that mistake be an effort mistake. It's time to fail fast and realize what you DON'T need quicker so you can get what you DO need sooner!

Wake up day after day and work harder today, than you did the day before, (rinse and repeat)...then you will find success.

In our latest episode Mackey and Colton catch up after a long (2 days) time apart! They talk positive pressure and the fact that pressure in itself is neither inherently bad or good, but it is your response, your outlook that creates it into a bad or good situation. Believe it or not, stress is actually a good thing. Stress can keep you moving forward on the right path. It takes time to reach your goal, to win a state championship, to build a business, and so in order to stop you from being burnt out, pace yourself. Slow and steady wins the race!

Colton and Mackey share a little about what's going on in the 2W world and how the creation of 2W, the idea to leave what they had and pursue something they believed in, took a leap of faith. They encourage others to take action in their lives. Take action on the field, in the classroom, at home. You are the driver in your own life, and it's time to take hold of what you have and work towards what you want. They go into the idea that we cannot compartmentalize our lives. We cannot put different events, different attitudes, different responsibilities in their own compartment. We have to realize that everything is connect, every moment, every interaction is connected, and the only way we can "win" at life is to win every single day in the small moments, small actions.
