Bill Belichick

And it's the same thing with a really disciplined player and teammate.

Is he going to be disciplined to, you know, go in and get treatment after practice, you know, even though it's two days before Christmas or, you know, whatever it is, where is he just disciplined to not let something get in the way of,

Of his productive routine.

And that's, you know, the guys that do that, I would say, for the most part have had very long and productive careers.

And the guys that haven't have careers that go to a certain point with talent.

But they don't have the same kind of longevity and consistency of a player like Matt Slater or Devin McCourty or Tom Brady or guys like that, that people keep saying, you just keep waiting for those guys to drop off.

Well, they're a year older, they're a year older, they're a year older.

But you don't see the drop off because their routine and their discipline is so consistent that they're able to sustain that level of performance, you know, far longer than really what the expectations in some cases are.

Do you believe you can motivate people?

And if so, how?

I think you can definitely motivate them.

And it depends on the person.

I think there are different types of motivation.

You know, we could there were times where I think you could really, you know, motivate a player by just, you know, flat out challenging them based on something that, you know, somebody else said or intimated or something that might have happened in the past.

I think you can, you know, motivate people by, you know, especially, you know, sometimes maybe a more selfish type of player.

You could motivate by, you know, making him see what the reward is for himself as opposed to the team.

An example I like to use, Shane, is if you have a receiver player.

And you want the receiver to come in and block on a running play and come in and block a safety, which is a hard job.

You know, some receivers don't really want to do that.

They're really not too excited about that.
