Unity Consciousness #3151
After #5 ranked Notre Dame loses to Northern Illinois University, the Notre Dame Coach, takes full responsibility. He did not sprinkle sugar on the bad-tasting medicine.
..It's disappointing. Disappointing in the performance. It's our job as coaches to make sure these guys are ready to go and we've got to go back and evaluate the way we prepare and figure out exactly, um, you know, the mishaps occurred in the preparation. I've always said performance is a reflection of preparation. And so we gotta figure out where we failed in preparation. But it's disappointing, you know you go from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in the tale of two weeks but We gotta own this thing as players and coaches....everybody's gonna try and point a finger at somebody, some side of the ball, one play, one person, it's the entire program underachieved and the entire program has to own it and improve from it.This entire press conference should be listened to.
1:05, Postgame Interview: Shedeur Sanders on how Colorado can bounce back after Week 2 loss to Nebraska
Question about how crowd noise affected the teamShedeur has mentioned will before in 2023.I don't really think the crowd had anything, I think it was just like, maybe everybody on the team, you know, maybe we just wasn't ready.
2:30, Question: You said maybe you weren't ready, did you guys, you didn't feel unprepared heading into this game, right?Answer: No, what I'm saying is okay you gotta understand you get out there and everybody, um, you've prepare, you do everything the right way you're supposed to but you gotta make sure everybody is on there when the big lights and everything come on, you know like the small mistakes and everything may expose some things, that's kinda, that's what I mean by that, but the preparation and everything, you know, that was there, it was just like. will at that point
0:45, Shedeur Sanders Press Conference following the 27-24 win over Arizona State on October 7, 2023.
...taking accountability of what's going on in the game, I'm holding the ball a little too long, not really going through every thing [progressions], not basically playing perfect...I'm on the sidelines frustrated, it's like, it's time, you know it's time to do whatever it takes to win, and by any means you can take matters into your own hands. You got the will. You got it inside of you...4:30, Shedeur Sander Press Conference Stanford following the 46-43 loss to Stanford on October 13, 2023.
Question is, how do you move on from a game in which you had a 29 point lead at halftime?2:25, Postgame Interview: Shedeur Sanders on Colorado's 28-16 loss to No. 23 UCLA | CFB on FOXAnswer Condensed & Paraphrased: we have to accept this one first, and it's a different level of focus, attitude, seriousness because the little things, like when we score touchdowns, we're still busting routes. We just can't afford to do that cause it's going to catch up when it catches up. So when mistakes are made there has to be punishment for it so we can grow and not keep making the same mistakes.
Question: How does the O-Line have to start to gel...So while Sheduer's comment yesterday about being ready was game specific, I say it was subconsciously about overall readiness to embrace and execute belief. This must be part of spring, fall and each game training, especially when you are trying to get over 100 individuals to believe they can perform to their best ability and improve each week in order to be a critical component of the team's overall success. So it comes down to will and willing. Are you willing to go through the process. And not believe in all kinds of notions that might weaken belief in self and your genetic and ancestral potential.Answer: I'm not sure. I'm not coach. I'm not a football god. I don't really know. I just know I gotta do my job and get better at my own job first.
So another title for this message could be, One Size Belief, Will & Willingness Will Not Fit Many At All.
Truth is, we are all custom made for these days.
Coach Prime has stated he is aware not everyone is built like him or like each other. He also says everyone wants to be “him” until it's time to be”him.” And that not everyone is used to winning or expect to win.Clearly Shedeur's use of the word will, includes meanings of belief, confidence, drive, self-motivation, not just confidence due to talent, but confidence due to preparation and ability to problem-solve, overcome difficulty and succeed against the odds and despite the disbelief of others and despite an opponent adversary or despite conditions that require deeper digging, deeper focus and grinding it out so as to keep coming and come back.
The one thing that continues to be exposed is that the one belief of "I Believe", that Coach Prime has, will not and does not fit all of those in the football program. And sometimes is not enough to overcome or dissolve an individual's self-doubt, and/or is not enough to create belief in others such as coaches and teammates. Therefore Coach Prime must continuously monitor each person's true level of belief and only ask them to perform up to and slightly beyond that.
