Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hour two of the Richmond Weavers Show, presented by Ingles Markets.
Here on one O four nine, Fox Sports Upstate rolls
on as we are here at Group Therapy downtown Greenville
at Camperdown Plaza. Mister Trey Falco back in studio though,
making sure that we are out on the air, and
coming up in the next segment, Brian Kite will be
joining us, author of Dailydiscipline dot Com, talk some behavior,

(00:25):
sports and live performance, So make sure you stick around
here one O four nine, Fox Sports Upstate. All right,
mister Falco. You know, we were talking about the Dallas
Cowboys and the valuation, and I'd also come across an
interview with Dabo Sweeney on the Jim Rome Show. Oh
and I was like, after listening to it, Dabosweeney makes

(00:47):
a comment and it made me think and take a
listen to this conversation Jim Rome and Dabosweeney.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Are your early thoughts about what's going to be a
top ten showdown when LSU comes to Death Valley on
Labor Day weekend?

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yeah, man, it's gonna be uh yeah, that's gonna be
must C TV right there.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's gonna be battle. Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
They're really good. I mean, we this is our first
home opener since twenty nineteen. You know, I told my ad, look,
we'll play the Dallas Cowboys if we could just play
at home once this decade. Uh So We've yet to
open up at home this decade, so I'm happy about that.
But it's gonna be. It's gonna be. Oh man, it's

(01:28):
gonna be an epic battle. They're really really good. We
we know we have an opportunity to be a good team.
They have an opportunity to be a good team. Both
big time quarterbacks that are gonna be pros one day.
Both teams have a lot of skill, big dudes.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
In the trenches.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
So I mean, it's just gonna be a it's gonna
be an awesome college football environment. I can't wait. I
mean to be right here in Death Valley a night
game it's gonna be. I think we got herb Street
and Fowler doing the games. It's just gonna be a
classic college football environment right out of the gate. Big
boy football. So it's gonna be fun. We got work

(02:07):
to do, but can't wait.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
There you go, Dabo Swingey talking about he cannot wait
to get the big boys out there for big ball
big boy football with LSU and the Clemson Tigers. But
my point was, Dabo, what's going on talking about you
want to play the Dallas Cowboys Now? Is that a
reference to that he'll play anybody, thinking that, Oh, we'll

(02:32):
play anybody, because even if it's an NFL team, or
is it because he's thinking, well, that's an NFL team,
we can beat the Dallas Cowboys because they haven't had
success in a long time. Was he throwing some shade
to the Dallas Cowboys right there? And I wonder just
from a perspective that And yes, I am joking. I
know he's not throwing shade there to the Dallas Cowboys

(02:55):
because I think Trey it's pretty evident that we know,
oh as good as college football teams are. We can
talk about this all day. It can be debated, but
I'm telling you these debates are going to fall pretty flat.
If you ever think a college football team is going
to beat an NFL team, It's just not going to happen.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
There, no way, even with the Dallas Cowboys and all
their dysfunction, And I think even with Michael Parsons off
the field, I don't think Clemson has a chance.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
No not even close, not even the situation with the
Cleveland Browns. The Cleveland Browns would still be able to
go out there when and I know, maybe it's a
maybe it's a closer game. Yeah, I understand that, because
we do know that there's a lot of dysfunction there.
But at the end of the day, the NFL teams
are just too good, yeah, because they're loaded with the

(03:49):
best players, the best players from all of those college
football teams and even to the point, and this is
what blows my mind about the transition from college football
to the NFL and how we talk about it so
much with the NFL draft, and how it is so
much more of an art, it's not a science, and

(04:12):
how some of these guys you think are going to
be household names in the NFL they don't. And then
the other side, you're like, where did this guy come from?
Never heard of this player? But you know, and coming
from a low Division I school, not a power for school,
or some of the ones that are coming from Division

(04:34):
two schools. I mean, the NFL, if you're good enough,
they will find you, Trey.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Oh yeah, they'll scour the urds and they will find you.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
They definitely will and that's why it's amazing again just
looking at the difference how some of these players will translate,
and speaking of how players will translate, I'm interested to see.
We talk about quarterbacks Carson Beck down in Miami and
according to sources, Pete NACo's with on three is stated

(05:05):
that there's a source close to Miami offensive coordinator Shannon
Dawson and he's quoted as saying he thinks he has
another number one pick in Carson end quote. So could
we be looking at a scenario with the Miami Hurricanes
going back to back with number one picks in the

(05:28):
NFL Draft at quarterback? I just don't know if I
can fall into that camp with Carson Beck, not after
what I saw yet last year with Georgia. And I
know there are some injuries banged up. I get all
of that, but I don't think I saw enough even
early on to suggest that Carson Beck would be the

(05:51):
number one pick in the NFL draft. And again, we've
just talked about it. It's an art, it's not a science, right,
but I feel this is a stretch Miami to have
back to back number one picks in the NFL Draft
at the quarterback position.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you on that.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
I just it felt really rocky last year with Carson
Back even there at the beginning of the season.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
But you know, maybe if it were a draft in.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
The twenty twenty sixth, like maybe last year, you know
that maybe wasn't so loaded on quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
But you're talking about this year.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
There's six seven guys like bona fide dudes that could
come out in this next year's draft and be that
guy there at the top of the leaderboard in the
draft picks. I don't know, man, I like, I have
nothing against Carson Back, but just looking at what he's
up against as far as competition. But you never know,

(06:41):
time will tell, you know, we get halfway through this season,
maybe he's lighting it up.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
You know, you never know it.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
And just think about this too. We didn't think cam
Warden was going to be the number one pick.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
That's true. That's just true.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
With that said, the caveat and you just mentioned it.
Last year was a light quarterback draft in terms of talent,
and this year it's completely different. There is much more
depth a quarterback elite level at least what we're saying
elite level quarterbacks until we see how this season play
out plays out, But we would think that this quarterback

(07:15):
class is going to have more quarterbacks that are going
to be drafted and higher than this past class. So
that's why it's all relative to also who your competition
is at that position, and you can't tell me there's
not other quarterbacks that can I would feel that would
have a higher probability of having a better season than

(07:36):
Carson Beck. Now we'll see what Carson Beck is surrounded
with at Miami. That definitely helps. But when you look
at that like the Clemson Tigers, I mean, you've got
eighty percent of your production coming back on the offensive
side for cade klub Nick, So he's going to be
surrounded by guys that are already knowing the system. They're

(07:57):
then in the system that we've developed. So you have that.
And then I even look at you know, Garrett Nussmeier
at LSU, right, again, he's not mobile, but he's a
veteran guy. He can he's got a very accurate throw.
And then how about just even look at a Drew
Aller at Penn State, right, do we think he's going

(08:20):
to make another jump this year? And then I think
the X factor it's easy to say, do we know
what the ceiling is with the Leonora Sellers. I don't
think we do.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
I don't think we do.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, And I think there's something to be said about
let's see how Lenora Sellers plays this year, and especially
now having an opportunity another year in the system. And
that's why I think it's so paramount that you have
some of these guys that are stayed within their system. Now.

(08:51):
I know, you can look at South Carolina and say, well,
you know, Dal Loggins, the offensive coordinator, he left, he's
off to app State, you know, and you got Mike
Schula now going to be calling the plays as the
offensive coordinator. But Mike Shula was there, you know. So
how much of a difference are you going to throw
from an offensive scheme standpoint to Lenora Seller's here. I

(09:13):
don't think much at all. Maybe the language, the verbiage
changes a little bit, maybe some of the looks change.
It could be a little bit, But the basis is not.
The foundation is not. Because I think with head coach
Shane Biemer and Mike Shula already being there previously, that
it only helps that Lenora Sellers has some stability from

(09:36):
that standpoint. So that's why I look at a Carson
Beck Now he's at another school learning a new system,
and it's a you know, a new offensive coordinator there,
you know. So it's I think all of that lends
itself to have a lower probability of having success. It
doesn't mean he won't have success. I'm just saying from

(09:56):
a probability standpoint. Obviously. You know, I love stats. I
love looking at all of those type of things, and
you can't go just based on stats. We do know that.
That's why I don't bet, because how many times we
see that, oh, they have a seventy percent chance of

(10:17):
winning and it doesn't happen, you know. So that's why
it's very difficult for me to bet because sports, like
we've talked about, it's so unpredictable. You don't know what's
going to happen. So maybe Carson Beck does come out
there and ball out. I just find it hard to
grasp that idea that he's going to be the number
one pick in the NFL draft. We are a long

(10:37):
way away from that, that's for certain, though.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Tray, Oh yeah, one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
And I think you know, Carson Beck to an extent
there kind of benefits from that because you look at
it and you go, okay, well, he's learning a new system.
You kind of incline to give him a little bit
of the benefit of the doubt if he struggles, and
then if he succeeds and he does really well, then
you can kind of look at it and go, okay,
well he overcame the system.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
You know, he learned a new system and still balled out.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Whereas with the Leonora Sellers, everything's kind of predicated on
him now, right, everything is predicated on how good does
Leonora's Sellers elevate himself within this program because by all means,
we think things should be pretty similar. So it's going
to be a system that he should be at least
mostly adjusted to.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
So if he comes out and he.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Kind of waffles around a little bit, maybe doesn't take
that next step, then you look at it and go, okay,
is it Lenora Sellers, what's up with him? Or if
he comes out and balls out, then it's like, okay, yeah,
maybe he's got something.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, well, and that's the question right now, what we've
seen from Leonora Sellers, we think there's going to be
another jump. We think there's going to be another area
of improvement in terms of developing because we do know
he's a great dual threat type of quarterback. I should
say when I say great, he has all of these

(11:48):
skills that can make him great as a dual threat
type of quarterback and has to translate out onto the field,
not only from a production standpoint with limiting your turnovers,
being able to move the ball down the field, being
able to keep the drive alive, so to speak. But

(12:10):
at the end of the day, Dre, we also know
got to go win. You do. You got to put
your team in the best position. And I know we
put too much blame on the quarterback at times, and
also we give them too much credit at times because
it's not just solely on them. Because you can have
a quarterback that is balling out and your team is

(12:31):
scoring thirty five points, but if your defense is it
holding up on their side of things and the other
team scores thirty six, yeah, it doesn't matter what that
quarterback just did because you're still not ending the day
with a W. So there is that, But I just
don't know if I'm buying into Carson Beck as a
potential number one pick in the twenty twenty six NFL Draft.

(12:52):
All right, coming up, We're gonna take this break, but
we will talk to mister Brian Kite Dailydiscipline dot Com
and get his thoughts on what we saw with Tommy
Fleetwood and also how we can improve behavior, sports performance,
and even life much more. Right after this, the Thursday

(13:13):
edition of the Richmond Weavers Show, presented by Ingles Markets
continues right here on one oh four nine Fox Sports
up State, and it is our time to jump out
to the Ingles hotline again as we have Brian Kite
our guest each week to talk about behavior, performance in
sports and life. He's the author of Dailydiscipline dot Com.

(13:35):
Make sure you check that out. The coach to the coaches,
Brian can't thank you enough for joining us here. I
know we've been texting, You've been traveling all over the place.
And where are you today? That's the question today.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
I'm in Columbus, Ohio, and sir, I have we had
our first scrimmage for my third grade, eight year old
son football team earlier this week. We got to practiced
post scrimmage, so it was the first time seeing all
the boys live. We found out you know who's a
natural ball player who we got to work on some

(14:11):
techniques with, and you know who we got to build
some contact courage up with. So it's all it's all
fun right now.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
So the film breakdown has occurred, is what you're telling
us right now.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
I literally left film breakdown with my son to come
get on this call with you. So we are we're
getting after I love it. Well, I'll say this, Rich,
here's what I'll say. I'll say, Uh, corner went pretty
well for him. Okay, guard did not not so great,
not so great at guards, got beat too much at guard.
But at corner man made some plays.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
There we go, Hey, he's just going to find his zone.
He's going to find his area and you can kind
of guide him there. Now I have a question though
for you. Did you have any reservations about your son
playing football?

Speaker 5 (14:55):
I feel I think every every dad you know, if
you play football, everybody who played football knows it's very
hard to anticipate and predict who's gonna get it right
away and who's not. And so I know I did
have some reservations, not reservations from a safety perspective, just
reservations for you know, contact courage and willingness, and what

(15:19):
happens when they, you know, bang their finger and bang
their elbow and stuff on their toes and they wear
the helmet and all that stuff. Here's what I'll say.
I'm really proud of him, because if football is not
easy for an eight year old, it is not an
easy sport. Your helmets are hard, you're sweaty, you're hot,
you're wearing shoulder pads. You don't know what's going on.
It's the hardest thing you've ever done in your life.

(15:40):
And man, he I was expecting tears. I was expecting
a night or two of I don't want to do
this anymore. And man, he has done nothing but work
his tailoff. He's been happy, he's had fun. And then
for me as a dad and football guy, he loves contact,
he loves hitting and so so, uh, whatever regulations I had,

(16:02):
they're gone.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
They're gone quickly. Yes, so it sounds like he might
find some time there on that defensive side. What do
you remember about the first time you got hit? Did
you feel the sense of, Okay, I like this, this
is fun.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Yeah, it's so. It's funny. You asked that I don't.
As POD was talking to my son, about this sort
of in the first couple of weeks of him, you know,
putting a helmet in the shoulder pads and the full
pads on. I don't have any I don't have any
specific and explicit memories of my very first year, the
first time of hitting. I don't really have memories of that.

(16:39):
I have. I've got some old movies of games and
stuff my first year, But I remember vividly my second
year and my third year when I was you know whatever,
I was ten, eleven, twelve, so I got I remember hitting,
I remember practices, I remember drills, I remember all the
details of that. But it took it took me. I
didn't get good at football and on my second year,

(17:00):
and I didn't get really good at it until my
third year. We have a small so I remember why
I fell in love with hitting, though, And once I did,
and it was there was no looking.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Back, no turning back at that point. Brian Kaid is
our guest author of Daily Discipline dot com. Make sure
you check that out. You can have a newsletter delivered
to your inbox each weekday and you will gain some insight. Again,
how can you improve performance from a behavior standpoint? In sports?
And in life. All right, Brian. One of the things

(17:32):
that I know we wanted to talk about because I've
been fascinated by this because you had recently had posted
some content about Scottie Scheffler and then about Tommy Fleetwood
and then so you and I were texting this past
weekend watching the FedEx Send Jude Championship in Memphis and
seeing Tommy Fleetwood two shot lead and then on the

(17:52):
sixteenth tee I mean sixteenth hole there and you see
Justin Rose make this clutch putt and it seemed from
that point on it just unraveled for Tommy Fleetwood. What
did you see? And almost a sense of body language
to defeat there with Tommy Fleetwood.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
Well, you know, kind of like we were texting, there
was a couple of things that as I was watching
what one, I was just enjoying the competitive moment. I know,
those are the moments I just love to watch because
I love watching whatever he's going to do, because these
are the moments where you know, in sports, you know, football, baseball, golf,
all these different things, you know, people will always say

(18:35):
things like, you know, a kicker will kick at the
end of the game and they'll miss and then the
head coach, the quarterback or whoever will come back and say,
you know what, we never should have put ourselves in
that position. You know, we should have solved it elsewhere.
And I call bs on that. The whole point of
a competition is to put yourself in position to win,
and everybody and everything is going to be required to

(18:55):
win at some point. The whole point of being a
kicker is getting that kicker to the end of the game.
Is they put it through the uprights for us to
win or lose. That is your job. There is no
I'm not supposed to be in that position. It's your job.
And so same thing with Fleetwood. It's like, oh, it
shouldn't have been within one or two. I missed this
in the fifth hole or the apoll. Well, that's why
there's eighteen of them, because you have to do it

(19:16):
for all eighteen. There isn't nothing that says I should
have solved it in a whole ten. That's like saying,
you know, I should have won the football game in
the second quarter. You can't. You gotta play the second half.
You have to play eighteen full holes. And so when
I watch that, and I watched Tommy you know, the

(19:37):
interesting thing for me watch and say somebody like Tommy
is that as it gets down into crunch time, what
I see is I see and obviously I'm reading into it,
so this is not fact. It's just what I observe.
It's what I'm pulling from the situation. Is I can
see him starting to wear the story in his body.

(20:01):
The story starts to become and it's like this that
one of the rules, one of the rules of behavior
and emotions is this, every emotion has to express itself
somehow in the body. It's just a it's a the
law of biology. Every emotion has to come out somehow.
We don't want to vent. That's why we feel a

(20:22):
need to vent. Where the we're venting from is an
emotion comes up and then we want to vent it
out somehow. But every emotion's got to come out of
the body somehow. An emotion comes from the pictures that
we see in our brains and the words the stories
we're telling. So as that tournament is winding down and
it's getting to the final few holes and then something
doesn't go according to plan. What happens is Tommy's body

(20:45):
starts to show and demonstrate and where and express the
emotion that he is feeling from the pictures he's imagining
inside of his head. That makes sense, ye, right, the picture,
the picture creates an emotion, the emotion has to find
its way out of the body. This is why when
we talk about handling pressure or handling these things, that

(21:07):
the things you say to yourself and the pictures you
imagine are so important, not so that you can you
can like make them reality exactly, but it's also it's
defensive in a way, right, It's a good kind of defensive.
It's protective is maybe a better way to say it.
Picturing the good things prevents you from picturing the awful
things and then feeling those emotions and then having those

(21:29):
emotions change your actions and your behavior. Which engulf is
this swing. That swing we're talking half an inch, half
a second, quarter second inch on a putt. I mean,
the margin for error is so.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Small, no doubt. And obviously we know this is not
a skill issue for Tommy Fleetwood. He has the skill
sets and the talent to be able to do that.
But it was almost your point where it seemed the
picture in his mind it was of a losing story
that when Justin Rowe made that putt, that was that

(22:02):
was it. It put him in that picture that well,
I can see it happening. Now I'm going to start losing,
and he ultimately did. If we call that losing, I mean, yes,
he didn't win the tournament, but this guy has had
twenty nine top five finishes without a win. So again,
there's something there from a skill perspective, But he just

(22:24):
seems to how can how can people get out of
that negative mindset? If that's the correct phrase to use, Brian.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
Yeah, well let's I mean go back a second. You
say it's not a skill issue. It is a skill issue, though,
So let me ask you. Let me ask you a
couple Let me ask you a couple of questions, and
everybody who's listening answer these questions along with rich. Okay,
so let's take two skill sets, rich job skills and
behavior skills, and Tommy Fleetwood's world. Job skills is golf right,

(22:56):
physical message right for Patrick Mahomes, right, reading a defense,
throwing a football. You know, for you, it might be
accounting skills or insurance or sales or whatever it is. Okay,
So answer this question, Okay, which skill set is easier
to teach to someone job skills or behavior skills?

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Oh wow, I would say job skills. But the natural
ability though, that's where I struggle.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
Yeah, which one do people typically get hired for.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Job skills? Which one do they get fired for behavioral skills?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (23:37):
Huh? Which one is easier to train? The job skills?
Which ones cause more issues in the work environment and workplace?

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah? The behavior skills.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
Behavior skills. And then here's the kicker. Everybody, where have people?
Do people? And where do you train more consistently, rigorously,
detailed and for longer job skills or behavior skills?

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Skills all day long?

Speaker 5 (24:00):
The job skills. So here's what happens. What happens when
you have great job skills, world class in Tommy Fleetwood's case,
but your behavior skills are only average. What happens to
your job skills? Fade a fade, and they diminished. A
pilot who can't handle pressure is not a good pilot.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
That's right, right.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
A salesperson who can't process criticism or doesn't have resilience
will not be a good salesperson. You have, Yeah, exactly
so in Tommy's case, it is a skill issue. But
we think of we think of skills in the concrete sense.
We think of technical skills, job skills, sports skills, golf skills, right,

(24:53):
And we don't think of skills. We don't think of
honesty as a skill. We don't think of emotion as
a skill. We don't think of focus as the skill.
We think of it as this stuff, right, or processing
criticism or not be getting uncertainty. And those are the
skills that determine everything, rich everything. So in Tommy's case,

(25:13):
if he was able to boost his behavior skills twenty percent,
he's probably got seven wins, but he could improve his putt.
He can improve his putting skills two hundred percent and
it won't change a thing. Now there's a minimum requirement, right.
What I'm not saying is that I'm not saying I
want I don't want a pilot who has a great

(25:34):
attitude and is really really good at empathy but is
a mediocre aviator. It's not either or. It's not either or.
But when you have a guy like Tom Brady, when
you have a guy like Patrick Mahomes, and you have
a guy like Scotti Scheffler and Tiger Woods, when you
look at the excellence of excellence of excellence. What you're
always gonna find is you're gonna find the intersection of

(25:55):
world class job skills and world class behavior skills. That's
what you're gonna find.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
No doubt. Brian Kaitite is our guest here on this
Thursday edition of the Richmond Weavers Show, presented by Ingles Markets,
the author of Dailydiscipline dot com. Make sure you sign
up for that dropping some important knowledge right now here
on this Thursday edition. And Brian, I even the post

(26:22):
that you had earlier talking about goals that you chase
and the challenges that stand in your way are not
your real battle. The battle is with your fears and
demons for ownership and direction of your life. Talk about
that and how that affects each and every one of us.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
Yeah, I mean, I mean look Tommy's, Yes, Tommy's scenario
is the perfect one. He's not. The challenge he's fighting
on the golf course is just representative. It's basically it's
a it's an illusion for the challenge he's really fighting,
which is inside of himself. The challenge and pursuit and

(27:08):
mountaintops that all of us are climbing, they're really just
arenas platforms environments for us to go on the inward
journey of figuring out what we're trying to overcome, who
we're trying to be. And I think it's part of
the I think it's one of the hardest parts of
our life is realizing and this is why a lot

(27:30):
of the achievements that we have feel kind of empty.
Is we go win something and we think that somehow
that's going to be that the that's going to give
me something, and we realize the achievements on the outside
that's not enough to do something, that's not enough to
fill the holes that we have on the inside. Like that,
not holes that we're missing stuff, but but the things

(27:50):
that we're trying to do in the inside. And so
you know, we can live for a very long time
before we realize that everything we're pursuing and to do
and struggling with and even stuff that we're failing out
and and you know those things that were you know,
I guess I would I would I would push the

(28:10):
audience to reflect on your own life and and understand
that every time you hear a calling and you consider
answering that call and saying, man, something's calling you, something's
urging you, right, finally times for me to get in shape.
It's not making excuses, right, I should. I should. You know,

(28:31):
I've always wanted to be an author and write a book,
but I can't with this job that I have. When
you when you feel those callings and then you hear
them and then you consider doing it and you're afraid
and you back away, what that is is backing down
from the external challenge. Is really you backing down from
your own internal journey. And what I think is the

(28:54):
best part about life is attacking the challenges on the outside.
That's how we become who we need to become. It's
really not about what's going on on the outside. I mean,
the outside is nice, don't get me wrong. It's fun.
I like playing football. I like, you know, I like
playing golf. I like I like hanging out with my kids.

(29:14):
I like, you know, trying to write daily discipline. But
it's really it's really about the inward journey. And you can, look,
you can do this. I mean we we just we
talk f one right now that that movies are really
nice because they kind of contain this, right, It's every
movie that's that's amazing and awesome. There's an external difficulty, problems,
something they're trying to get, and something the stands in

(29:36):
their way. Any good movie has that, and through the
process of doing that, whoever the main character is, and
maybe some of the people around them, is the main character.
Until the main character overcomes what they need to overcome
and defeats those parts within themselves, they don't achieve the
thing on the outside. The thing on the outside is
really just giving us the opportunity to go win the

(29:58):
important battles within us. And that happens in f one, right,
that happens in in in whatever movie you want to watch,
Lord of the Rings. I mean every book. That's what
every book is about. That every story is about, is
a parallel between our external journey and our internal journey,
and they're always sync. And so, you know, the more
we get to see it like that, the more we
start realizing, I'm not fighting two battles. I'm really only

(30:21):
fighting one. There's just an inner and and outer version
of it.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
That's right, And that's why it's so important for teams,
and especially teams that we follow the teams that we love,
but where those head coaches are able to understand shifting
the focus from the quote unquote scoreboard or or the
wins or whatever to that internal battle to help turn
their season around.

Speaker 5 (30:45):
Yeah. Every you know, every time, it's it's it's it's
what's amazing about life. It's what is it's what is
so fun? And anytime you see how I would like
to look at whenever I see people achieving heights, I
don't care what it is. It could be an eight
year old learning how to you know, stick his nose
in the mare and tackle. It could be it could
be winning a super Bowl. It could be building a business,

(31:07):
it could be whatever, right, finding somebody that that you
love and get married. Anytime somebody achieves something and overcomes
some stuff, I always like to look at them and
and and just see you've you've achieved something within yourself.
And whenever I see somebody who is struggling on the outside,
I always like to remind myself that means they're struggling
with something on the inside, and that and that and

(31:29):
that that's what we want to be like. We want
to when we look at relationships in our life, we
want to feed that.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
We want to help them.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
I why do we love sports. We love sports because
you get to watch what's going on on the outside.
But man, being inside a locker room is you know
the guts of that team, You know the struggles of
that team, You know what it took to get to
that spot. And so teams are representative. You see the
product on the field, but you don't know what the
internal battle it took to get there. And then with

(31:56):
the the internal battle within the team is each guy
has his own internal battle within himself and the coaches
do too. So I'm always looking at people who are achieving,
have achieved really great stuff on the inside, people who
are struggling are struggling with some stuff on the inside,
And just keep reminding myself of that as I look
at people, to make sure that I recognize that and

(32:17):
them I empathize with them. I try to feed it
in them right, encouragement, challenging, rewarding, putting them in positions
to help them fight and win those battles. And then
obviously anytime I can do that, you know, I'm also
feeding myself to fight and win my bottles.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
There you go, and I know that just the empathy
part of that, But then being able to see when
you are able to help that has to be a
feeling that's hard to describe. I can only imagine because
you know, you're going through some of things very similar
because we all are. That's the beautiful thing about it.
Maybe not beautiful, but that's the thing that we have
to understand that we're all created this way and we

(32:53):
all can have the same type of struggles regardless of
what platform we're on. And that's why this can apply
to every single person. Brian. That's what I love about
this and that's why I love having you on each week.
As Brian Kite is our guest author of Dailydiscipline dot Com.
Make sure you check his site out and also get

(33:14):
your Daily Discipline Journal. I'm telling you you will absolutely
love that also. All right, Brian, we are, though, oh
so close to college football, and you're right in the
throws there in Columbus with the team coming off of
national championship last year, Ryan Day, but he'd lost to
Michigan though, So how is he going to fight that

(33:35):
internal battle right there to have success this year? Your
thoughts on the Ohio State Buckeyes and what they can
do this upcoming twenty twenty five season.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
You know, I think this is I think that's an
interesting season for Ohio State replacing replacing, you know, the
most draft picks coming back. You know, they have the
most draft picks in last year's draft, and obviously Michigan
had the most for that and Ohio State was very
close to having the most of all time this year.
But they also have a lot of talent and there

(34:06):
was a little pressure. There's a little pressure out released
obviously in the city of Columbus, which you know, people
who don't live in Columbus and don't love bucket football,
it's hard to understand how big the brand is and
how much pressure it is. And so that got relieved
a little bit. But you know, August thirtieth, we'll be
here in Texas, roles into Columbus, will go play in
the Horse two, and all that pressure will be right back.

(34:29):
Nobody will be patient about anything, which is why we
love college football. But it's a funnie. I know a
lot of those guys will run that staff. They're working
really hard. They've got they've got a really good thing
going now, and you know, they've got a good system.
I know a lot of a lot of college coaches
are taken a while to adjust to the environment now.

(34:49):
And one of the things I think Ryan has done
a really nice job at Ohio State. I'm doing It's
not the only one. I just I just think he's
done a good job of it. Obviously, coming off a
national championship is put having NFL people on his staff
who understand how to build a roster, how to use
their resources, and then how to manage a team throughout

(35:12):
the season. One of the really interesting pieces about this
I don't think everybody realized is, you know, Chip Kelly
was the OC, and I've known and work with Ship
for a long time. He was the OC, and he's
known for a fast offense. Ohio State through the regular
season last year was one of the slowest offenses in
America and ran the fewest plays because they understood this

(35:33):
was going to be the longest season in college football
history and they expected to be in the playoffs, and
they wanted to minimize the total number of reps and
plays that their best players had throughout the entire season,
so they played slower all year on purpose, so as
to minimize the wear and care on their bodies over
the course of the season and be at their strongest

(35:55):
when the playoffs started. And look what happened.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Fascinating the deep.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
They signed Quinn Shawn Judkins out of Old Miss. They
added a second running back when you already had, you know,
an All American running back on the roster and Quinn
show Judkins, Oh, why would you come here? And he
took a pay cut to come to Oia State. Most
people don't know that it took a pay cut to
come to Ohio State and to split carries. Why look
what happened. So I'm really interested in in you know, obviously,

(36:21):
more teams. You know, teams that have a lot of
college coaches haven't been around that are are catching up
to it. They've got a lot of NFL guys. Other
places have NFL people. Lane's doing a great job down
at All Miss. You know, Stark's doing a great job.
You're gonna see a lot more teams moving this direction,
a lot of gms, you know. But there's a there's
a learning curve for for for career college coaches to

(36:41):
learn a little bit more of an NFL type model
to how to run a program.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
That's right, no doubt. Well, and we also know Ohio
State has one of the best wide receivers in the country,
Jeremiah Smith. So that I listen.

Speaker 5 (36:53):
I've watched football for a long time. I got to
see him play in person a few times last year.
And Rich, I'm telling you this, Yeah, I have never
I've never seen a football player on a football field
look as physically dominant as him ever. And I've watched
I mean I've watched games everywhere. Yes, I've never seen

(37:14):
a player be that physically differentiated from everybody else on
the field.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
It's scary, man, it is hard to argue, there is
no doubt. Well, Brian can't thank you enough. I know
you've got to get back to film breakdown. Get those
eight year olds ready, We're done with film.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
Let's practice, I know.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Go practice time. That's right. Awesome, Brian, I have a
great one. We'll talk to you next week, my friend.

(37:58):
this Thursday edition of The Richmond Weaver Show presented by

of The Richmond Weaver Show presented by Ingles Markets right
here on one of four nine Fox Sports Upstate, as
we are still broadcasting here at Group Therapy Camperdown Plaza,
Downtown Greenville, getting ready to hand things off to mister

(38:20):
John Ellison. Game on and he will be with you
through the rest of drive time until seven pm. So
keep it right here on one of four nine Fox
Sports Upstate, Mister Trey Falco in studio, behind the board
and behind the mic, and speaking of behind the mic, trade,
did you see this Taylor Swift her debut on New

(38:40):
Heights podcast. I did, Yes, Oh yes, we know with
the Kelsey brothers, Travis and Jason Kelsey there so at
one point they had one point three million people watching
live as Taylor Swift talked about her music and also
having the opportunity to use the episode to announce her

(39:03):
new album.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
How interesting is that matter? How it's approaching over ten
million views. Yeah, that's the power of Taylor Swift, don't
you think.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
Now, imagine that with the NFL.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Do you think the NFL is okay with Taylor Swift
having an opportunity there on the New Heights podcast. Oh
they welcome. Oh yeah, they welcomed that Taylor Swift being
at games. They welcome the opportunity of having Taylor Swift
to be involved. And again she was able to announce
her new album that's going to be coming out, So

(39:44):
stay tuned for that. I know a lot of Taylor
Swift fans are out there. All right. It is August
the fourteenth, So let's walk back in a little bit
of history.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
What happened on this day.

Speaker 5 (39:58):
Let's go back in history to the moments you might
have forgotten and the ones you'll never forget.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
It's OTD on this.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Day, all right, Going all the way back to nineteen
thirty six in Berlin, the US would win the very
first Olympic basketball game, or I should say gold medal.
I should say they would win the very first Olympic
basketball gold medal with a nineteen to eight victory over Canada.

(40:28):
Oh yeah, that was a fast paced game there, mister Falco. Hey, Now,
this is the crazy thing because I have read the
story about this, because I'm huge. As we've talked about
love history and read a biography about James Nasmith, the
inventor of the game of basketball, and he was actually
there in attendance, and it was a very poignant moment

(40:49):
for him to be able to see that now basketball
was a worldwide type of activity, but the game was
played outdoors on a dirt court, and it was in
the drive and it talked about how James Nasmith, he
didn't care. He was out there just enjoying during the rain.
All of that. So you have to love some of
the history with some of these stories. But again, nineteen

(41:12):
thirty six, as the United States is able to win
the very first Olympic gold medal in basketball, and in
nineteen fifty nine, the formation of the AFL is announced
in Chicago with play that's going to begin in nineteen
sixty with franchises in six cities. And then obviously we

(41:32):
know that the AFL and NFL would eventually merge together
to have what we now know as the NFL, the Almighty,
the Gorilla, the thing that just continues to print money. Yes,
that is the NFL. Twenty eleven, Keegan Bradley would win
the PGA Championship after trailing by five shots with three

(41:53):
holes to go. He would force a playoff there against
Jason Duffner and would win in a three hole playoff,
and Keegan Bradley would become the third player in at
least one hundred years to win a major championship in
his very first attempt. Yeah, so there you go. And
in twenty fourteen, Rob Manfred is elected Baseball's tenth commissioner. There,

(42:16):
I can't believe it's already been over ten years since
Rob Manfred was elected as Baseball commissioner. Now baseball has
changed over the years.

Speaker 5 (42:26):
Now.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
I do like some of the things that he is
trying to do tear in baseball, So I am a
fan at least he's exploring opportunities to try things a
little bit different. And in twenty twenty one, the Arizona
Diamondbacks Tyler Gilbert would become the fourth pitcher and the
first one in sixty eight years, to throw a no

(42:47):
hitter in his very first major league baseball start. Yeah,
that's pretty impressive to come out there your first time
as a pitcher and you throw a no hitter.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
I mean, that's an.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Same thing think about Yes, you think about this too.
In today's baseball, there's not many pictures that go to
nine innings. Most of them are going six or seven
innings at most, and then they let it go to
a middle reliever. All right. That is OTD. And that
is this Thursday edition of The Richmond Weaver Show, presented
by Ingles Markets. We will talk to you tomorrow.
