Next Play Mentality: Building Success One Day at a Time

In football, you can’t dwell on what just happened—good or bad. Every play, every game, you have to reset, refocus, and get ready for what’s next. That’s just how it works in the NFL. If you stay stuck on the last play, you’re already behind on the next one. It’s the same way I approach training and life: always preparing, always working like I’m the starter, no matter what.

I’ve carried that mindset with me from college to the league. You never know when your number is going to be called, so you have to be ready. For me, that means putting in the work every day, not just when the cameras are on or when game day comes around. It’s the reps in practice, the film study, the strength work, and everything in between that make the difference when it’s time to step up.

The Foundation of Hard Work

One thing I’ve learned is that success doesn’t come overnight. It’s built on the work you put in day after day, stacking small wins until they become habits. Football has a way of teaching you that. If you’re not locked in during the week, it’ll show up on the field come Sunday. You can’t fake preparation.

I take that same approach with everything I do. If I made mistakes in a game, I own them, correct them, and get back to work. The only way to get better is by being real with yourself, holding yourself accountable, and putting in the effort to improve. And it’s not just about you—it’s about making sure the people around you are getting better too. That’s how teams win. That’s how you grow.

Building Good Habits, One Day at a Time

The way I see it, success is all about habits. Whether it’s in football, training, or life, the things you do every day shape who you are and what you’re able to accomplish. If you stay consistent, put in the effort, and keep pushing, those little things start to add up.

That’s why I respect the idea behind Human66—building good habits that last. The concept is simple: commit to something every day for 66 days, and you’ll make it a permanent part of your routine. Whether it’s training, recovery, nutrition, or mental focus, the key is showing up for yourself every single day. That’s how you level up, one step at a time.

No matter what you’re working toward, the mindset is the same. Keep grinding, keep improving, and when the next play comes, you’ll be ready.
