This past weekend, I found myself captivated by PJ Fleck’s words. For those who don’t know, Coach Fleck is one of the most motivational and inspirational figures in college football today. His energy is contagious, his teaching unforgettable.
He reminded his team—and all of us listening—that “when we are casual about things, we create casualties.” He went on to stress that “every ball matters.”
Think about that for a moment. Every snap, every pass, every rep. There is no such thing as a throwaway moment in the pursuit of victory.
Casual vs. Intentional
In sports and in life, the margin between winning and losing often comes down to the details we choose to honor. If we’re casual with our preparation, casual with our discipline, casual with our focus—our results will reflect that.
But when we are intentional, everything shifts. Intentionality builds consistency. Consistency builds momentum. And momentum builds the future version of ourselves we are striving to become.
Your future self isn’t waiting on tomorrow—it’s being shaped by the decisions you make today.
