Bill Belichick

You don't know what the other guy's doing.

He might be working just as hard as you are in that preparation phase.

You know, it can't be after the fact.

Like, oh, I wish I would have studied more.

It's too late at that point.

You have to do it on the front end.

So getting in condition, you know, studying, preparing on your film and your opponents and all that, like those things all have to be done on the front end.

And, you know, a lot of times there's, I would say, a little bit of a tendency to just sort of let up on the preparation.

Well, I've watched some film.

Well, I've done some extra sprints.

Well, I've done this.

I've done that.

Well, is that enough?

You know, is it really enough?

And if you do more, will it make a difference?

Not to the point of diminishing returns, but to the point of, you know, comprehensive preparation.

So that's really what we try to emphasize on that.

The pain of regret is much more than the pain of preparation.

Yeah, you play the game, you go back, you analyze it.

What do we do well?
