This GM has worked with some of the best players/coaches of the last 30 years - Brady, Belichick, Manning, and more.
He was asked, "What made them so great?"
His answer had nothing to do with talent or scheme.
It was 3 traits anyone can develop and he saw in Jayden Daniels:🧵

1: Competitiveness
"Just the competitiveness that they all have...the desire to not just be good but be great and over and over and over again every single day."
They all had a strong will to win.
They didn't have a desire to just show up, but compete.

2: Tireless work ethic
Peters called them "tireless workers."
The secret wasn't just their intensity - it was their durability. Hard work wasn't a punishment.
They studied harder, practiced longer, and didn't let up.
Excellence wasn't a moment - it was a daily choice.

3: Consistency
"The consistency of which they work at and the competitiveness and the level they work at."
They had high standards and consistency in their actions, approach, and attitude.
• Same intensity
• Same attention to detail
• Same focus on the mission

Peters' insight: "Being able to see what great is every day, allows me to understand okay this is where we need to get to."
Greatness starts with your action and choices:
• Compete relentlessly
• Work tirelessly
• Show up consistently
It's a daily decision and a mindset.
