But I think I think I've got some things that can help you through this time frame and weaponize you for the things that you're about to have to endure. And for the potential that you have and who you can become was open to it. One of the best leadership coaches in the world. And he walked me through this exercise and I'll never forget this framework that he shared with me that I now share with.

all the athletes that I work with. He was like, the reason why this is so tough for you, it's not because of the time. It's not because of the effort. It's not because of all of the energy that you put into this game. What it is that you're going through and that it's so tough for you to get through, it's your identity. You believe you are a football player and that's not true.

He said, I want to share with you a framework, a three-step framework that I share with all of my highest performing athletes around the world that allow them to be the 1% of the 1%. He said, there are three identities that you have to adopt from this day forward, only if you're willing to though.

He said, number one, you have to be willing to look yourself in the mirror and say, I am a lifelong learner. I am a goal grower. Okay, I already do that. I got it. He said, number two, you have to be willing to look at yourself in the mirror and say, I am a lifelong achiever. I am a go-getter. I said, I can do that. I've done that. But you're saying I got to adopt this to my identity, to who I am.

He's like, yes. He was like, this third thing is the thing that people typically miss. And some people throughout the course of their life, they never adopt this into who they are. And I leaned in and he goes, I am a go-giver. I am a lifelong contributor, meaning you are everything that you do comes from a foundation of service, servant leadership, contribution, adding value, giving.

He said, if you can adopt these three identities, you will be perfectly fine for the rest of your life, no matter what life throws at you, no matter what you do, no matter what you want to be the best in the world at. He was like, are you committed to adopting these three identities? And in that moment, I felt like I was becoming somebody totally new. I said, absolutely.

And so what I didn't realize at the time is that something that I realize now and something I know now that research tells us is that our behavior does not drive our performances. Our identity does. That's right. And so with those three identities that I adopted totally changed my world forever. And so if you're listening to this right now, I want to ask you a question.

I want to ask you, who are you? When somebody says, who are you? What do you say? For me, I don't say I'm a mental performance coach for the Baltimore Orioles. I don't say I'm a speaker. I don't say I'm an author. I don't say I don't say any of those things. I say I'm a giver. I'm a learner and I'm an achiever. Nothing more, nothing less.
