To me, football is so much about mental toughness, it's digging deep, it's doing whatever you need to do to help a team win and that comes in a lot of shapes and forms.

Every quarterback can throw a ball; every running back can run; every receiver is fast; but that mental toughness that you talk about translates into competitiveness.

Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one.

Our players are building mental toughness. It's really hard with a young team. It's very hard to close teams out in a close game. The more that you get experience at it and the more you learn from the experience is when you don't do it is where it can really help you.

You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.

The Special Ops community has always been about mental toughness.
