Every year in the NFL, someone wanted my job. A younger, faster player with a lower salary. A new scheme that didn’t need my position. A coach looking for fresh talent or one of his former players. I survived for 11 years—because of one thing… Discipline and Consistency. Discipline beats talent when talent isn’t disciplined. In business, it’s no different. Every minute of every day, someone is coming for our spot. Competition comes to market. And we hold them off. You know how? Discipline and Consistency. The companies that win aren’t always the smartest, the flashiest, or the most funded. They’re the ones where every player shows up and executes—every single day. ? Discipline is waking up at 4:30am, hitting the sauna, cold plunge, and gym grinding—whether I feel like it or not. ??Discipline is making the tough calls, holding people accountable, and staying focused when distractions are everywhere. ??Discipline is treating every rep, every decision, every detail like it matters. Because it does. Athletes who succeed in business don’t always rely on talent. They rely on consistent, relentless execution. They leverage the mindset that made them a professional athlete because it’s the same mindset that builds great companies. To borrow from Christopher Voss, “You don’t rise to the occasion. You fall to the level of your discipline.” What’s your 4:30 AM cold plunge—the one discipline and win that gives you an edge? #DisciplineWins #ConsistencyWins #Entrepreneurship #NFLtoBusiness #NFL #NFLPA #MindsetMatters #AthleteMindset #NickSwisher #SecretSauce #Grit Fathead Aaron Patton Chris Polaszek Derek West McKenna Reitz Scott MacGregor Andrew Petcash Scott Garber Marques Colston Ira W.

I have fallen in love with the following: Learn to do what must be done in alignment with what you want and do it joyfully.
My 4:30 am cold plunge Chris Hetherington? One hour of prayer. Non negotiable. The other non-negotialble: Daily workout. These two moves flow into the workday and the discipline makes one far more productive than those who don't. Period.
Brother/Teammate, I love this message.
Great stuff, #44! Always an inspiration.......from the frozen ponds of CT as a tike, to the NFL for 11 years! An amazing journey to watch! Keep up the great work. And in case anyone thinks differently......it's WORK!
Up at 5:00 am everyday, not some days, everyday and down in my gym. Non-negotiable and the best possible way to start the day! #SeeWhoYouCanBecome
James Clear taught me that "The 2-minute Version counts" and "Never miss twice in a row." Totally aligned with you, Chris Hetherington. "Discipline beats talent when talent isn’t disciplined."
You made FBs great again! Thank you
That's it, Chris Hetherington! Discipline and consistency keep you in the game, and stepping into the version of yourself that doesn’t shrink is what fuels you when adversity hits. Courage gets you started, and your commitment to embrace discomfort and grow through it is what drives you to the finish line. Great post!

4 天前This is a terrific post. Discipline and consistency are old-school, time-tested traits of successful people. Thanks for the reminder that avoids all the popular jargon—you didn't mention AI once!
