“You want to deal with that is a big part of it. I think the confidence thing is really interesting. I think what really separates the great players is their ability to do it even when the bullseye is on their back every week, like it was with Tom Brady, like it was with Lawrence Taylor, like it is with Patrick Mahomes, like it is with players like that, Lamar Jackson and so forth every week the teams are geared towards stopping those players and game planning against them or putting their best guy on them or however they're going to handle them. And for those players to continue to be productive in spite of the game plan attention they get is what truly makes those players great and elite. I think that when we had Kobe Bryan come in and talk to our team, I think it was around 2018, 19, somewhere in there.”

“Well, again, it's all relative. You know, Shane, I mean, as good as the players are in the NFL, the guys on the other side of the ball are pretty good too. And, you know, I'd say every team, generally speaking, every team has about five or six players that elite have elite payments, elite contracts. And then you might have some younger players in their first through fourth year, you know. two or three, whatever those that are elite players that just haven't hit those top contracts yet, but they don't necessarily match up in the same position. You might have a tackle. I might have a guard, you might have a linebacker, I might have a corner and so forth. So the way those elite players match up is very specific from game to game and how you want to match them. Your matches against theirs and how”

“How you're going to incorporate any of those things into this week's preparation and practice, what we're going to do differently or maybe do more of or do less of, whatever it is. And then you're done with that and you move on to your opponent and spend the next five days, six days, whatever it is of just digging in on that opponent and what they do.”

“That's right. Yeah, you play the game, you go back, you analyze it, you what do we do well? What do we do poorly? What do we need to do better? What adjustments should we have made? What coaching errors did we make? And so forth. And then you factor all that into how does that affect us next week. Sometimes there's a lot of carryover. Sometimes the team you play the following week is completely different. And some of those lessons may not really become applicable for a week or two weeks or three weeks until you see a similar type of opponent, say like a scrambling quarterback. You know, maybe you play two or three weeks where those quarterbacks aren't too mobile and when you get up against another scrambling quarterback, you go back and look at, hey, how, you know, how do we need to handle this better against this type of an opponent? But yeah, you look at all those things after 24 hours, win or lose or draw. You take your lessons and you decide.”

“Well, that is that enough? Is it really enough? And if you do more, will it make a difference? Not to the point if the ministry returns, but to the point of comprehensive preparation. So that's really what we try to emphasize on that.”

“I think the big thing about preparation success is the price has to be paid in advance. You have to put in the work before you get any results. So there's no way to honestly know how good your preparation is or isn't. That's why I always try to emphasize keep preparing, keep working. You don't know what the other guy's doing. He might be working just as hard as you are. And that preparation, it can't be after the fact of 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 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 watched them film. Well, I've done some extra sprints. Well, I've done this. I've done that.”

“Other technology is just things that maybe make it go a little bit faster, ways of grouping plays together, grouping situations together that allow you to research and analyze those things a little bit quicker. But that's probably about across the board, about the same for everybody. We all have the same opportunity on that. I mean, ultimately, a lot of those situations come down to preparation, but also maybe a gut feel of the way the game is going.”

“So I can see how that could really help, especially for skill positions like quarterback or positions like that where you can have to see a lot of things very quickly and identify quickly what decision you're going to make. That's true of every position. The quarterback, especially when you talk about distributing the ball. And also for a player who's injured. So let's just say that you had a leg injury and you weren't able to practice or run full speed for a couple of days. You could actually see the game through this product and get your recognition, your reads without actually having to run and be involved in a situation that physically you're just not, you know, not ready for. But I'd say a lot of you.”

“Yeah, that system that Jaden Daniels was referring to is one that he used at LSU. And then also used it with the commanders last year. It's actually one that we have as well. It's one that's very hard to get. It's only available very selectively. And so I'm pretty familiar with it. And it's an incredible system. It enables you to see the game in a pair of goggles in real life, in real space. And it actually feels like you're getting hit. It feels like you're right in the middle of the game, but you're actually able to see things, what you do, and then you can program in what your opponents do to create a very realistic picture. And then you're also able to adjust the speed so you could actually play the game at, let's call it, 105 or 110% of the actual speed so that theoretically you're having to react even quicker than you would in a real game situations.”

“Yeah. Oh, I've battled those social media platforms and now I'm actually on one. So college football has kind of changed that a little bit. I mean, I'm not too active on it, but I am on it. Paramount, more so than people you've never met or seen or heard of before, what their opinions are. And so I always, you know, try to encourage our players to, yeah, not be too consumed with that. But, you know, worry about the guy next to you. That's the one that matters the most.”

“I think there's definitely a carryover on that. You're playing for the team, but you're playing for the guy beside you too, and especially in a sport like football or in a real battle situation like the Sea are involved in, you know, you're talking about potentially getting hurt or, you know, or worse in a seals situation where that guy beside you, like you have to count on him to do his job and you do yours for the same reason to protect each other.”

“That's obviously at the highest level football. We're not talking about life and death here, but we are talking about a championship level of performance of having that same type of trust and belief and confidence in your teammates so that you're never questioning what they do. And you can be more aggressive in doing your job. And there's never that look over your shoulder of, is he where he's supposed to be? You know, if you know he is, then you can perform better. Those are kind of the themes that we try to instill there.”

“Seals, those elite teams. I mean, Blue Angels would be another example. You know, those guys fight 18 inches apart. And, you know, the amount of trust and preparation and teamwork that's involved in something like that going 600 miles an hour, whatever it is, is pretty amazing. But, you know, the seals, it's the same thing. Like everybody's got a job to do. And you learn your teammates so well that you can, even in a dark room, you know, pick out his, you know, his silhouette or something about him that identifies him. And, you know, each of you count on each other to do their jobs and accomplish the missions.”

“And that's something that on a football team you earn every day. Every day you come to work as a coach, you earn the trust and respect of your players and your other coaches by being prepared, by showing that you're there to help the team and you can help the team win. And again, it's the same thing for every player. And when you earn that every day, you build that trust and you build a cohesive team. And when you don't, those are the players that, again, that other players don't trust as much. Is he going to run the right route? Is it going to be at the right depth? Is he going to block the right guys? Is he going to be in the right gap? And that causes when you don't know what your teammates going to do, that causes a lot of hesitation on your part. And you're kind of waiting to see what he's going to do instead of knowing what he's going to do. And then you can aggressively do your job because you're confident of the people beside you. And I learned a lot about that with the, especially with the Navy.”

“Well, first of all, we don't have cell phones and Apple watches and things like that in our meetings so that they're not part of the meetings. But when the meetings are over, a lot of times the guys race to see what messages and texts and so forth are there. My thing on that has always been, again, other than family and very personal situations, you know, the guys that are most important to each of us are the guys in that locker room, you know, the guys that you know win and lose with and live and die with each day and that you count on them and they count on you. So it was really very important for us to focus on those relationships. And I tried to downplay the, you know, how many likes or thumbs up or whatever you get on different social platforms. I don't even know what those are. But what's more important is what the guy next to you thinks about you and the respect that you guys have for each other and the trust that you have in each other.”

“Rest, recovery, training, so that you're your absolute best one. We really need you here in these last few stretch weeks. And as you know, Shane, when you get to a certain point, it's a one-game season. You know, if you lose, you're done. And if you win, you get to play another week. So when you get into that scenario, put it off until next week. And if you're in it next week, put it off until the week after that. But this is what we've worked all year for. Put those things in the drawer and then open the drawer when the season's over. Now we would joke about it. And, you know, guys would say, hey, Coach, you know, my drawer is getting pretty full here. So, you know what, maybe you need a bigger drawer or maybe you need two drawers. But the idea was to put those things on the back burner and focus on the very special opportunity that we had in front of us, which was playoffs or championships.”

“Was a saying that we used to, especially at the end of the year, like as you get into the holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and then the playoffs, you know, the end of the season's in sight. And wherever you are, you've put in all the work back into the spring training camp, you know, 10, 12, 14 regular season games, whatever it is. And now you're really coming, you know, coming down to home stretch. And the drawer was just a way of saying, unless it's a family or personal thing that's really important, put it in a drawer, deal with it after the season. Do you need to go to sign these cards at the mall? Do you need to, you know, go look for a new electronic whatever it is? Can you put those things aside and just finish the season, spend that time on preparation for our opponents, spend that time on...”

“Before we get to the grade plays, let's just make the plays that you're supposed to make, just the regular ones, the normal ones. And that's execution, concentration, and discipline to do it all the time.”

“Of get out of the way and let the other team make a mistake, they'll make one and you can capitalize on it and take advantage. Now, not all the time. Again, as you go deeper into the season and play better teams and playoffs and things like that, that happens less frequently. But in a lot of close games, when you go back and really look at the way the game, the outcome of the game was, the team that lost really probably should have won or had many good chances to win and just kind of messed it up. And more than, like I said, the winning team going out there and making all these spectacular plays. So again, the big thing is Know number one, keep from losing. And number two, make the pleasure you're supposed to make. I mean, sure, there's some great plays out there, but.”

“Yeah, absolutely. You know, we've always said more games are lost than one in the national football league. And when I say lost, I'm saying those type of things, missed opportunities, missed assignments, poor clock management, just fumbling the situation more than the other team really, really playing. A lot of times, if you just”

“That are poorly executed by us. So as you can see, it's a long list, Shane. Some of them are off the field and some of them are on the field. In college football would be being academically ineligible. I mean, that's not your opponent's fault. That's a lack of commitment and, you know, doing the requiring academic work to be eligible to play. Those would all be examples of you can't win until you keep from roofs. If you can eliminate all those things, then you can actually make progress on being a better football player and winning games.”

“Rough in a pass or roughing up on or stuff like that that really happens after the play is over. Those are examples of beating yourself. You know, you can't win until you keep from losing. Those plays aren't because of what the opponent did. Those plays are because of either our lack of concentration, communication, discipline, whatever happened to be. And I'm not just putting it on the players. I'll put it on the coaches too. That's our responsibility to eliminate those. And other things, turnovers, for example, when the offense turns the ball over and the defense doesn't make a good play, it's just the offense fumbling a snap, fumble in a handoff. The ball goes off a receiver's hands, plops up in the air, and the defense intercepts it. Plays like that that don't have anything to do really with good defense. The offense just gives the ball away. You know, snap the ball over the guy's head, the quarterback's head, snap it over the punter's head, drop the snap, stuff like that.”

“Wouldn't hydrate and would pull muscle, pull a hamstring, pull a grind, pull a calf because they weren't fully hydrated. Those aren't, that's not buffalo. That's not the Jets. That's us. That's us. And in the game, I'd say two of the biggest examples, well, there's a lot of them, but let's start with penalties. Pre-snap penalties. So penalties that happened before the ball snapped. Those are our fault. You can't blame them on the other team. false start, illegal motion, too many men on the field, delay a game, like all that. That's our inefficiency. That's not our opponents. And really, for the most part, post-wistle penalties, plays that happen after the whistle of has blown, hitting a guy out of bounds, tawning, heal celebration, you know, stuff like that where you just get carried away emotionally in the moment and cost your team, you know, personal fouls.”

“I wasn't around him enough to comment about that. But I think if you don't really like to compete, then a top competitor will kind of wear you down and it kind of. I won't say resist to it, but you know, just they're resisting heat at that level. So I have seen that from time to time. But the guys that really love to compete love to compete and they just join in there and compete with them.”

“I mean, I thought it was awesome. And, you know, Jordan's one of the greatest competitors in any sport ever. And, you know, just, you know, his competitive spirit is, you know, up there with the guys that he played with, like Lawrence Taylor at North Carolina, those guys, they still compete all the time on the golf course. So I thought it was a great insight into it. Brady's a tremendous competitor. Julian Edelman, Bruiski. Any talk about Brewski came back from stroke and continued to play, some of those guys, Rodney Harrison, it's just, it's in an elite level, which it should be in the National Football League, but it's just at an elite level.”

“Trying to track the ball and catch it. And of course, I made him punt, you know, so the returner had the sun in his eyes, had to deal with that. But to watch those guys do something they hadn't done before for some type of a reward was a great team building exercise. But they love to compete competitors or the guys that really love to compete. are honestly Guys that get the most out of their talent because they just are determined to work hard, prepare and go right to the very end. They might not be as talented as somebody else, but they play and compete, you know, to the max.”

“Closest to the whole golf shots, you know, whatever it is, but it's just fun to see him compete. One of the best things we did, Shane, was we would have usually one of our rookie offensive and defensive linemen would compete against each other to catch a punt, right? So you put an offensive tackle and a defensive tackle back there. And you go one at a time and the punter would punt and, you know, we'd make sure that it was at least four seconds hang time. So, you know, the ball was up in the air. And then whichever, you know, whichever guy caught it first, then that group would win and the other group would have to do extra sprints or the group that won would get out of bed check or whatever it was. But it was a good way of team building because all the players were rooting for their guy who had never caught a punt in his life probably, right? You know, watching Vince Wilfork and Matt Like back there catching punts.”

“Or maybe another sport they play, or some other random fact about teammates and play offense against defense or the wide receivers against the DBs or the O-line against the D line and the rookies against the veterans and create different competitions and whether it was free throw sheeting or cornhole or trivia or all different things like that. Guys that like to compete, love to compete. And it was a lot of fun actually to move some of the targets around for the competition. You know, some guys are good.”

“I think it transcends everything. It's unbelievable how competitive guys are literally over nothing. I mean, it could be for a t-shirt. There's guys are making millions of dollars and it's for a t-shirt or not having to run a couple sprints or an hour later on curfew. They'll compete. And honestly, it isn't even necessarily for the prize at the end. It's just to be able to say, you know, I won. I competed. And, you know, I beat you today. If they don't win, just the love of the competition, the love of the prize and fighting for that, the pride to say, hey, we would have a lot of team competitive events like, for example, trivia, or know your teammate and, you know, ask questions about different teammates of, you know, maybe what position they played in high school.”

“Replaced, or in a lot of cases, flares that don't trade hard will get injured, and their careers will get cut short that way because they don't, you know, commit to a good training regimen.”

“Yeah, sure. I mean, there are lots of them, unfortunately. I refer to one of them in the book that talked about coming in and being a running back and being a combination of two great running backs that were in the Hall of Fame. And I think he had barely 100 yards in his entire career. So it's, you know, talent's one thing, but the application of turning that talent into being a productive football player and a great teammate, it's hard to do. It's not that easy. And talent gets you through high school. It might get you through college. But once you get to the NFL level, that talent, that field levels out. And there are only a few players that have such a lead talent that they don't have to work very hard and can stay better than a lot of their competitors. For the other 95%, if they don't stay on it, they're either going to get.”

“For a sustained period of time, it levels out the talent. Sure, talent's important, but guys with a great work ethic and who really are committed to improving can catch a lot of players with more talent who don't work as hard.”

“Yeah, absolutely. Let's start with Tom Brady. Tom Brady was a fourth string quarterback his rookie year. He had three flares ahead of him and, you know, he just worked his way up. No team keeps four quarterbacks at any level. High school, college, NFL. It's really almost unheard of. And he would be exhibit A, Steve Neal, a guy who never played high school football, never played college football, was a wrestler in college and then became an offensive guard, starter force for seven years, Julian Edelman, who played quarterback in college and then became a receiver and a pun returner, two positions that he never played in college in the NFL and became very good at him. So, yeah, absolutely. That work ethic and that day-to-day improvement when you just stack those days together on top of each other.”

“Working hard, sometimes people can come in and put in their time and check the box. A player can come in, put on his gear, go out, run around, break a sweat, take a shower, and say, well, I practice today. Well, but if you don't really accomplish anything, then that really is not working hard. It's actually, we refer to it as a day off. No days off actually means, you know, you come to work and you go to work. You don't come to work, check the box, kill the time, and then leave. You need to be productive while you're there. It's really just a way of saying, yes, we're going to put in the work, but we need to accomplish the things that we set out to accomplish for that day and then build on those tomorrow.”

“It kind of fit for all of them. So, and again, because we played and practiced in the same facility, as I said, it didn't matter whether it was the AFC Championship game or whether it was a day in March or a day in June. It was the same every day. And so we strove for that consistency.”
2025-05-27 · The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish · Bill Belichick: 8x Super Bowl Champion on Winning, Leadership, and Discipline · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“That's really our game plan every day. Didn't matter whether it was a day in the offseason, a day in training camp, or the day before the AFC Championship game, or the day of the AOC Championship game. Those things never really changed. But we all had a job to do, whatever that happened to be, and every job was important. Every member of the team was important, that they do their job well. And being attentive and working hard is really the formula to getting better. That's how you improve. You figure out what it is you need to do better. And that's by being attentive and listening to people who can instruct you or help you get better and then putting the work in to make that positive change. Then always thinking team first. That's always the most important thing. What do we need to do to win? And what can I do to contribute to the winning cause? And so regardless of what the task was, it was a coach, a player, staff member, really any employee.”
