In this episode of “Shooting It Straight,” hosts Randy Black and Coach Jim Clayton delve into the theme of resilience, exploring how life lessons from the court translate into real-world success. They discuss the importance of showing up when life gets tough and pushing through adversity. The episode features a deep dive into resilience through powerful quotes from figures like Nelson Mandela, Vince Lombardi, Maya Angelou, JK Rowling, and Elizabeth Edwards. Each quote is unpacked to reveal insights into enduring, adapting, and overcoming challenges.
Randy and Jim emphasize the significance of learning from failures and the necessity of resilience in achieving success. They discuss how resilience is not innate but a skill that must be developed, and they explore the idea of adapting to life’s challenges rather than resisting them. The episode also touches on the importance of forgiveness, the power of imagination, and the role of adaptability in personal growth. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on how resilience has played a role in their own lives and to engage with the podcast community by sharing their experiences.

Randy Black: And today
22
00:01:09,520 –> 00:01:18,880
Randy Black: We’re again taking a deep dive into what it really means to bounce back and taking a deeper look at the topic of resilience.
23
00:01:18,660 –> 00:01:22,020
Randy Black: What I’ve done is I’ve gathered 10 powerful quotes.
24
00:01:22,020 –> 00:01:26,260
Randy Black: They’re from leaders, poets, athletes, people who are survivors
25
00:01:26,360 –> 00:01:33,479
Randy Black: and each quote offers a different lens on what it means to endure, to adapt, and to rise.
26
00:01:33,479 –> 00:01:40,679
Randy Black: We’re gonna unpack them not just what they say, but we’re gonna give you a little bit of the story behind each one of them and how that
27
00:01:40,960 –> 00:01:46,400
Randy Black: They can help us handle the tough stuff that life tends to throw at us.
28
00:01:46,400 –> 00:01:50,560
Randy Black: So hang on and enjoy this journey into resilience.
29
00:01:51,120 –> 00:02:02,800
Randy Black: So let’s start out with our first quote here, and I pulled it from a gentleman that anyone who has been alive in the last 50 years and has followed the world history of what’s happened should know.
30
00:02:02,400 –> 00:02:04,080
Randy Black: And that’s from Nelson Mandela.
31
00:02:04,080 –> 00:02:06,080
Randy Black: A little background about Nelson Mandela.
32
00:02:06,080 –> 00:02:14,320
Randy Black: He was the South African uh anti-apartheid uh revolutionary, he was a political leader, he eventually became a philanthropist.
33
00:02:14,099 –> 00:02:22,500
Randy Black: And he became South Africa’s first black president and became a global icon for peace and for justice.
34
00:02:22,460 –> 00:02:30,060
Randy Black: That happened after he spent 27 years imprisoned under the apartheid system that was in South Africa.
35
00:02:30,060 –> 00:02:33,900
Randy Black: And despite all the harsh treatment he had to deal with there.
36
00:02:34,040 –> 00:02:41,000
Randy Black: He emerged committed to reconciliation and led South Africa through a peaceful transition period.
37
00:02:41,000 –> 00:02:46,600
Randy Black: And his resilience wasn’t just in surviving, but it was in choosing forgiveness.
38
00:02:46,720 –> 00:02:49,200
Randy Black: and unity over bitterness.
39
00:02:49,200 –> 00:02:54,480
Randy Black: And the quote from Nelson Mandela is, Do not judge me by my success.
40
00:02:54,820 –> 00:03:00,020
Randy Black: Judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up.
41
00:03:00,020 –> 00:03:03,140
Randy Black: So what does this say about
42
00:03:03,940 –> 00:03:06,580
Randy Black: How we define success, Jim, what do you think?
43
00:03:06,580 –> 00:03:10,099
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, you know, success is not something that’s an end result.
44
00:03:10,099 –> 00:03:13,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, success is those little victories that you take along the way.
45
00:03:14,660 –> 00:03:15,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Excuse me.
46
00:03:15,540 –> 00:03:18,660
Coach Jim Clayton: And twenty-seven years in prison.
47
00:03:18,120 –> 00:03:21,720
Coach Jim Clayton: For most people, the average human, oh, they’ve already given up.
48
00:03:21,720 –> 00:03:22,280
Randy Black: Oh yeah.
49
00:03:22,280 –> 00:03:23,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, they packed their bags.
50
00:03:23,720 –> 00:03:26,520
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re never going to make it back out of the prison.
51
00:03:26,520 –> 00:03:27,720
Coach Jim Clayton: But for some people
52
00:03:28,040 –> 00:03:31,640
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, that that time, hey, that’s just a learning lesson.
53
00:03:31,640 –> 00:03:35,160
Coach Jim Clayton: So when he got out, he was so ready when he got out to lead, okay?
54
00:03:35,480 –> 00:03:41,720
Coach Jim Clayton: And you know, I always tell people bad things are gonna happen in life, and but you can’t be defined by that.
55
00:03:41,720 –> 00:03:42,600
Randy Black: Right.
56
00:03:42,620 –> 00:03:49,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Uh, you know, you got to think about, you know, when you start stuff, it’s not always gonna end up the way you start it.
57
00:03:49,580 –> 00:03:56,860
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re gonna make mistakes, you’re gonna learn along the way, you know, and my suggestion my my theory on it is is this.
58
00:03:56,240 –> 00:03:58,800
Coach Jim Clayton: When you make a mistake one time it’s a mistake.
59
00:03:58,800 –> 00:03:59,280
Randy Black: Yeah.
60
00:03:59,280 –> 00:04:01,840
Coach Jim Clayton: When you make the same mistake over, it’s a choice.
61
00:04:01,840 –> 00:04:02,400
Randy Black: Yeah.
62
00:04:02,400 –> 00:04:05,200
Coach Jim Clayton: And you see there’s a difference in a mistake and a choice
63
00:04:04,900 –> 00:04:09,379
Coach Jim Clayton: If I can change it and I don’t, then I don’t really need to whine about it, okay?
64
00:04:09,379 –> 00:04:11,140
Coach Jim Clayton: But it ain’t going to define me.
65
00:04:11,140 –> 00:04:15,299
Coach Jim Clayton: Now, everybody who is successful today, I don’t care who y’all are, I don’t care what you do
66
00:04:15,520 –> 00:04:19,440
Coach Jim Clayton: There has been learning along those mistakes.
67
00:04:19,440 –> 00:04:20,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
68
00:04:20,000 –> 00:04:21,600
Coach Jim Clayton: And everybody’s made them.
69
00:04:21,600 –> 00:04:23,760
Coach Jim Clayton: And you could call them growing pains.
70
00:04:23,760 –> 00:04:25,440
Coach Jim Clayton: You can call them whatever you want.
71
00:04:25,440 –> 00:04:26,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
72
00:04:26,480 –> 00:04:28,160
Coach Jim Clayton: But they kept going
73
00:04:28,980 –> 00:04:30,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Because they kept going.
74
00:04:30,260 –> 00:04:31,540
Coach Jim Clayton: They didn’t give up.
75
00:04:31,540 –> 00:04:32,900
Coach Jim Clayton: They weren’t looking backwards.
76
00:04:32,900 –> 00:04:34,020
Coach Jim Clayton: They were looking forward.
77
00:04:34,020 –> 00:04:35,620
Coach Jim Clayton: They believed they could do it.
78
00:04:36,100 –> 00:04:40,740
Coach Jim Clayton: And then they set their mind and their attitude and went and got it done
79
00:04:40,560 –> 00:04:44,720
Coach Jim Clayton: And that’s not something that happens like automatically every day.
80
00:04:44,720 –> 00:04:45,120
Randy Black: Right.
81
00:04:45,120 –> 00:04:47,680
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s something you got to make up your mind to do.
82
00:04:47,680 –> 00:04:49,840
Coach Jim Clayton: And then you got to go do it.
83
00:04:49,300 –> 00:04:52,419
Coach Jim Clayton: And it’s not always going to be like picture perfect.
84
00:04:52,419 –> 00:04:55,940
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not always going to be like going out to a restaurant for your favorite dinner.
85
00:04:55,940 –> 00:04:58,500
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not always going to be like going to the beach.
86
00:04:58,500 –> 00:05:00,419
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, sometimes this is tough.
87
00:05:00,419 –> 00:05:00,819
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
88
00:05:00,819 –> 00:05:01,940
Coach Jim Clayton: And it’s not fun
89
00:05:02,440 –> 00:05:03,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, it’s not fun.
90
00:05:03,880 –> 00:05:09,000
Coach Jim Clayton: But you know what happens is, you know, he talked about leading a peaceful transition.
91
00:05:09,640 –> 00:05:12,520
Coach Jim Clayton: When you first get started, everybody tells you you can’t do it
92
00:05:13,540 –> 00:05:18,820
Coach Jim Clayton: And what that means to me is when they say can’t, you can’t do this, that means they can’t do it.
93
00:05:18,820 –> 00:05:19,300
Randy Black: Yeah.
94
00:05:19,300 –> 00:05:21,300
Coach Jim Clayton: And if they can’t do it,
95
00:05:20,900 –> 00:05:24,259
Coach Jim Clayton: You know how society is today, they don’t want you to do it either.
96
00:05:24,259 –> 00:05:26,660
Randy Black: So that way you stay right on their level.
97
00:05:26,820 –> 00:05:30,740
Randy Black: It’s it’s more of a statement of reflection upon themselves, not upon you.
98
00:05:30,740 –> 00:05:32,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh hundred percent
99
00:05:32,940 –> 00:05:35,980
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so you know that’s that that’s just a big thing.
100
00:05:35,980 –> 00:05:38,860
Coach Jim Clayton: And for him, bad things happen.
101
00:05:39,500 –> 00:05:40,780
Coach Jim Clayton: He didn’t give up
102
00:05:40,860 –> 00:05:43,580
Coach Jim Clayton: They didn’t define him, and look what happened at the end.
103
00:05:43,580 –> 00:05:44,140
Randy Black: Exactly.
104
00:05:44,140 –> 00:05:49,980
Coach Jim Clayton: Now, 20, 20 some years in prison, nobody could really predict that was going to happen
105
00:05:50,220 –> 00:05:54,860
Coach Jim Clayton: But then when you look back at it, they go, oh, I knew you could do it.
106
00:05:54,860 –> 00:05:56,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Say, what’s your name?
107
00:05:56,300 –> 00:05:59,740
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, they don’t know your name when they first meet you when you’re not successful.
108
00:05:59,740 –> 00:06:01,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Then they go, oh, I know him.
109
00:06:02,580 –> 00:06:07,300
Coach Jim Clayton: You say, uh yeah, because that’s just the way society is, that’s the way people are.
110
00:06:07,300 –> 00:06:09,860
Coach Jim Clayton: They always want to be associated with
111
00:06:10,300 –> 00:06:11,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Success.
112
00:06:11,340 –> 00:06:11,900
Randy Black: Yes.
113
00:06:11,900 –> 00:06:16,060
Coach Jim Clayton: But you also know the most overcrowded place in America is the bottom.
114
00:06:16,139 –> 00:06:16,940
Coach Jim Clayton: The bottom.
115
00:06:17,580 –> 00:06:20,540
Coach Jim Clayton: It doesn’t take much effort to be on the bottom.
116
00:06:20,540 –> 00:06:22,460
Coach Jim Clayton: I told my camp today
117
00:06:22,300 –> 00:06:25,340
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, how easy is it to make straight Fs?
118
00:06:25,419 –> 00:06:27,180
Coach Jim Clayton: So that’s easy, coach.
119
00:06:27,180 –> 00:06:28,460
Coach Jim Clayton: We don’t have to do anything.
120
00:06:28,460 –> 00:06:29,500
Coach Jim Clayton: I said that’s exactly right.
121
00:06:29,900 –> 00:06:30,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Show up.
122
00:06:30,460 –> 00:06:32,379
Coach Jim Clayton: Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.
123
00:06:32,379 –> 00:06:37,259
Coach Jim Clayton: I told him that I said that was a hit song by Billy Preston in the 70s.
124
00:06:36,700 –> 00:06:39,100
Coach Jim Clayton: And he goes is that on the radio now?
125
00:06:39,100 –> 00:06:42,140
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, yes, on my channel it is, because it’s the oldie goldies.
126
00:06:42,140 –> 00:06:42,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
127
00:06:42,620 –> 00:06:47,020
Coach Jim Clayton: But you know, I mean that’s just you you know, you just gotta think about things like that.
128
00:06:47,020 –> 00:06:47,340
Coach Jim Clayton: And
129
00:06:47,300 –> 00:06:50,419
Coach Jim Clayton: The thing about it is, is that like in school, we’re both educators.
130
00:06:50,659 –> 00:06:51,699
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m a former educator.
131
00:06:51,699 –> 00:06:53,460
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re still in the business.
132
00:06:53,460 –> 00:06:55,220
Coach Jim Clayton: They don’t teach that stuff in school.
133
00:06:55,220 –> 00:06:55,699
Randy Black: No.
134
00:06:55,940 –> 00:06:57,539
Coach Jim Clayton: They expect you to get it.
135
00:06:57,539 –> 00:06:57,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah
136
00:06:58,500 –> 00:07:06,340
Randy Black: And the majority of people It’s it but it it it’s kind of like it’s the same mindset that so many educators have about technology.
137
00:07:06,340 –> 00:07:09,380
Randy Black: All these kids grew up with it, they know what to do, and they don’t.
138
00:07:09,340 –> 00:07:10,700
Randy Black: You just think they do.
139
00:07:10,700 –> 00:07:11,820
Randy Black: You think they do.
140
00:07:11,820 –> 00:07:12,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, I gotcha.
141
00:07:12,780 –> 00:07:13,740
Randy Black: This is no different.
142
00:07:13,740 –> 00:07:14,540
Coach Jim Clayton: I gotcha.
143
00:07:14,540 –> 00:07:19,660
Coach Jim Clayton: And so, you know, I’m not just using technology because I want to use it.
144
00:07:19,639 –> 00:07:31,800
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m using it to expand and expose or to broaden and build you know people’s mindsets, their thoughts, their actions, you know, all those things
145
00:07:31,660 –> 00:07:33,340
Coach Jim Clayton: That they might not have ever thought about.
146
00:07:33,340 –> 00:07:35,740
Randy Black: It’s a it’s a tool, not an outcome.
147
00:07:35,740 –> 00:07:37,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh you couldn’t say it any better.
148
00:07:37,740 –> 00:07:38,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Exactly.
149
00:07:38,220 –> 00:07:39,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh yeah
150
00:07:39,620 –> 00:07:40,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
151
00:07:40,020 –> 00:07:51,300
Randy Black: So I mean that that’s a that that’s with with what with what we have here from what Nelson Mandela said, like I guess my big question is, can resilience exist?
152
00:07:51,340 –> 00:07:52,700
Randy Black: without forgiveness.
153
00:07:52,700 –> 00:07:59,100
Randy Black: Well yeah I mean I mean that’s it’s it it’s gotta be hard to to bounce back and move on without forgiving.
154
00:07:59,100 –> 00:08:01,100
Randy Black: I don’t I just don’t see how that’s possible.
155
00:08:01,100 –> 00:08:02,380
Coach Jim Clayton: You gotta forgive.
156
00:08:02,360 –> 00:08:08,360
Coach Jim Clayton: You just gotta, you know, hey, people do things that, you know, I heard a statement the other day by somebody.
157
00:08:08,360 –> 00:08:10,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Think before you say something.
158
00:08:11,360 –> 00:08:12,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Think before you talk.
159
00:08:12,960 –> 00:08:14,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Once it comes out, woo!
160
00:08:14,400 –> 00:08:15,040
Coach Jim Clayton: You can’t take it back.
161
00:08:15,680 –> 00:08:16,320
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s hard to get it back.
162
00:08:17,600 –> 00:08:19,760
Coach Jim Clayton: And so, you know, people do crazy things.
163
00:08:19,760 –> 00:08:23,840
Coach Jim Clayton: They do weird things in their light, you know, that they’re not going to do later in life
164
00:08:23,539 –> 00:08:31,220
Coach Jim Clayton: And you can’t let that burden you because if you carry that with you and you don’t forgive them, then those people still have control over you.
165
00:08:31,220 –> 00:08:31,620
Randy Black: Yes.
166
00:08:31,620 –> 00:08:33,860
Coach Jim Clayton: And I’m not giving anybody control over me
167
00:08:34,140 –> 00:08:34,940
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
168
00:08:34,940 –> 00:08:35,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Except the Lord.
169
00:08:35,900 –> 00:08:37,260
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ll give him control of it.
170
00:08:37,260 –> 00:08:37,740
Coach Jim Clayton: I see it.
171
00:08:37,740 –> 00:08:39,100
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean you control yourself.
172
00:08:39,100 –> 00:08:42,860
Coach Jim Clayton: And like I tell people, no one’s more qualified to be you than you.
173
00:08:42,860 –> 00:08:43,500
Randy Black: Yeah
174
00:08:43,820 –> 00:08:48,220
Coach Jim Clayton: So you can’t let somebody else control you.
175
00:08:48,620 –> 00:08:54,700
Coach Jim Clayton: You got to be in the 10 and 2 on the steering wheel and you got to drive that car right down that road.
176
00:08:54,440 –> 00:08:57,560
Coach Jim Clayton: And you know if you fall off or rent you gotta get back home.
177
00:08:57,560 –> 00:08:58,280
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
178
00:08:58,280 –> 00:08:59,480
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s how it’s gotta work.
179
00:08:59,480 –> 00:08:59,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
180
00:08:59,880 –> 00:09:00,600
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
181
00:09:00,920 –> 00:09:05,320
Randy Black: Which, you know, kind of kinda leads us into this next quote we’ve got on our list here from
182
00:09:05,560 –> 00:09:11,960
Randy Black: A gentleman that if you’re a if you’re a professional football fan, you sh hopefully you know who Vince Lombardi was.
183
00:09:11,960 –> 00:09:17,160
Randy Black: You know, the legendary coach for the Green Bay Packers led them to multiple NFL championships.
184
00:09:17,160 –> 00:09:20,360
Randy Black: And a lot of people forget he coached the Redskins after that.
185
00:09:20,259 –> 00:09:21,060
Randy Black: For a couple of years.
186
00:09:21,060 –> 00:09:22,100
Randy Black: A lot of people forget that.
187
00:09:22,259 –> 00:09:23,380
Randy Black: I couldn’t remember that either.
188
00:09:23,380 –> 00:09:23,699
Randy Black: Yeah.
189
00:09:23,699 –> 00:09:29,540
Randy Black: But he his name is now synonymous with excellence and leadership in sports.
190
00:09:29,540 –> 00:09:32,660
Randy Black: And he wrote a book called Run the Daylight.
191
00:09:32,459 –> 00:09:41,420
Randy Black: And this quote comes from that book and it reflects some of his coaching philosophy that character is proven not in victory, but in the response to failure.
192
00:09:41,420 –> 00:09:47,100
Randy Black: And the quote is, it’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.
193
00:09:47,120 –> 00:09:48,640
Randy Black: That’s a huge mindset.
194
00:09:48,640 –> 00:09:53,200
Randy Black: And it’s a huge mindset not just in sports, but in everything you do in your life.
195
00:09:53,200 –> 00:09:54,080
Randy Black: Would you agree?
196
00:09:54,080 –> 00:09:55,279
Randy Black: Because guess what?
197
00:09:55,279 –> 00:09:56,240
Coach Jim Clayton: 100%.
198
00:09:56,240 –> 00:09:58,000
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re gonna get knocked down.
199
00:09:58,040 –> 00:10:00,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Somewhere in your life, somebody’s gonna knock you down.
200
00:10:00,440 –> 00:10:04,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Maybe not physically, but in football, they did knock you down.
201
00:10:04,360 –> 00:10:04,920
Randy Black: Oh yeah.
202
00:10:04,920 –> 00:10:07,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, back in those days.
203
00:10:06,300 –> 00:10:08,860
Coach Jim Clayton: There were no penalties for roughing the pastor.
204
00:10:08,860 –> 00:10:09,339
Randy Black: Oh no.
205
00:10:09,339 –> 00:10:09,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
206
00:10:09,580 –> 00:10:10,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Not like it is now.
207
00:10:10,540 –> 00:10:11,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Those guys played back then.
208
00:10:11,580 –> 00:10:14,620
Coach Jim Clayton: They’d never made any money because they’d been fined every time they hit somebody.
209
00:10:15,180 –> 00:10:17,500
Coach Jim Clayton: But yeah, the thing about it is, is
210
00:10:17,740 –> 00:10:20,620
Coach Jim Clayton: I always say this, an old boxing quote.
211
00:10:20,620 –> 00:10:23,260
Coach Jim Clayton: If you can look up, you can get up.
212
00:10:23,260 –> 00:10:24,620
Randy Black: Yes.
213
00:10:24,620 –> 00:10:27,020
Coach Jim Clayton: And again, that’s the thing.
214
00:10:27,020 –> 00:10:27,980
Coach Jim Clayton: You gotta get up.
215
00:10:27,980 –> 00:10:30,300
Coach Jim Clayton: What did you learn from this situation?
216
00:10:30,220 –> 00:10:30,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
217
00:10:30,860 –> 00:10:33,740
Coach Jim Clayton: And you know, his book is the title says it all.
218
00:10:33,740 –> 00:10:35,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Run to daylight.
219
00:10:35,340 –> 00:10:36,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Don’t run to dark.
220
00:10:37,860 –> 00:10:39,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Can’t see nothing in the dark.
221
00:10:39,460 –> 00:10:40,100
Randy Black: Nope.
222
00:10:40,100 –> 00:10:43,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh the future is so bright when that sun’s shining, okay?
223
00:10:43,380 –> 00:10:43,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
224
00:10:43,620 –> 00:10:45,780
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s why everybody wears sunglasses
225
00:10:45,500 –> 00:10:47,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Because our future’s so bright.
226
00:10:47,020 –> 00:10:47,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Yep.
227
00:10:47,340 –> 00:10:48,300
Coach Jim Clayton: They got to shadow.
228
00:10:48,300 –> 00:10:50,380
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean, you know, they don’t want that glare.
229
00:10:50,380 –> 00:10:52,140
Coach Jim Clayton: But, you know, you gotta get up.
230
00:10:54,140 –> 00:10:55,660
Coach Jim Clayton: There’s so many stories
231
00:10:56,120 –> 00:10:57,959
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, when something don’t happen for you.
232
00:10:57,959 –> 00:10:59,480
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ll give you a classic example.
233
00:11:00,040 –> 00:11:05,800
Coach Jim Clayton: I started this business with a couple other gentlemen in 1992.
234
00:11:06,200 –> 00:11:07,560
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s been a while.
235
00:11:07,560 –> 00:11:08,200
Coach Jim Clayton: A little bit.
236
00:11:08,360 –> 00:11:10,279
Coach Jim Clayton: Been a few.
237
00:11:09,779 –> 00:11:14,500
Coach Jim Clayton: And I always thought, well, you know, I’m just a young guy starting out.
238
00:11:14,500 –> 00:11:15,300
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t have much.
239
00:11:15,300 –> 00:11:17,540
Coach Jim Clayton: I can’t re I need somebody else to help me.
240
00:11:17,720 –> 00:11:20,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Well these guys helped me.
241
00:11:20,040 –> 00:11:22,680
Coach Jim Clayton: And they got a little bit involved in some things.
242
00:11:22,680 –> 00:11:25,880
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, they got bit off too much more than they could chew
243
00:11:26,440 –> 00:11:29,800
Coach Jim Clayton: And they had to decide which one they wanted to do.
244
00:11:29,800 –> 00:11:33,480
Coach Jim Clayton: So they filed bankruptcy on a couple businesses.
245
00:11:33,480 –> 00:11:38,040
Coach Jim Clayton: And I remember I was sitting at the desk and they come in and put put a box down on my desk.
246
00:11:38,020 –> 00:11:40,020
Coach Jim Clayton: With all the financials.
247
00:11:40,020 –> 00:11:41,540
Coach Jim Clayton: And I’m looking at them.
248
00:11:41,540 –> 00:11:42,980
Coach Jim Clayton: Because I did the court stuff.
249
00:11:42,980 –> 00:11:44,180
Coach Jim Clayton: They took care of that stuff.
250
00:11:44,180 –> 00:11:44,580
Randy Black: Right.
251
00:11:44,740 –> 00:11:47,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Says, it’s all you now, big boy.
252
00:11:47,839 –> 00:11:51,120
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, uh, uh, uh, what what do you mean?
253
00:11:51,120 –> 00:11:53,279
Coach Jim Clayton: Uh we’re out.
254
00:11:53,279 –> 00:11:54,079
Randy Black: Wow.
255
00:11:54,079 –> 00:11:57,279
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, okay, what are you gonna do?
256
00:11:57,279 –> 00:12:00,000
Coach Jim Clayton: He says, we’re found bankruptcy on this.
257
00:12:00,000 –> 00:12:02,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Now you got a choice.
258
00:12:01,920 –> 00:12:04,079
Coach Jim Clayton: You can file too.
259
00:12:04,079 –> 00:12:04,959
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
260
00:12:05,279 –> 00:12:08,639
Coach Jim Clayton: Or you can just take it all over.
261
00:12:08,639 –> 00:12:10,639
Coach Jim Clayton: So they walked out
262
00:12:11,560 –> 00:12:14,360
Coach Jim Clayton: I sat there for about a day and looked at that box.
263
00:12:14,360 –> 00:12:15,000
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
264
00:12:15,000 –> 00:12:15,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Hmm.
265
00:12:15,880 –> 00:12:17,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Look just staring at that box.
266
00:12:17,480 –> 00:12:18,680
Coach Jim Clayton: What am I gonna do?
267
00:12:18,680 –> 00:12:20,360
Coach Jim Clayton: What am I gonna do?
268
00:12:20,440 –> 00:12:23,320
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, by God, giving up is the easy way out.
269
00:12:23,960 –> 00:12:27,880
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, so I got walked over the next day, Twain Street Bank.
270
00:12:27,880 –> 00:12:32,200
Coach Jim Clayton: One of the guys who I coached in high school was a really great player, John McGuinness.
271
00:12:32,200 –> 00:12:33,560
Coach Jim Clayton: His dad was the press.
272
00:12:33,560 –> 00:12:34,200
Randy Black: Yeah
273
00:12:34,160 –> 00:12:34,960
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, Mr.
274
00:12:34,960 –> 00:12:40,400
Coach Jim Clayton: McGuinness, looks like your starting lineup just fouled out.
275
00:12:40,400 –> 00:12:41,600
Coach Jim Clayton: Your A-team.
276
00:12:42,000 –> 00:12:44,000
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, I ain’t giving up.
277
00:12:44,000 –> 00:12:45,680
Coach Jim Clayton: I can make this happen.
278
00:12:45,680 –> 00:12:48,240
Coach Jim Clayton: But we got to restructure some stuff.
279
00:12:48,320 –> 00:12:50,480
Coach Jim Clayton: He said, that’s not a problem.
280
00:12:50,480 –> 00:12:51,520
Coach Jim Clayton: So we did.
281
00:12:51,920 –> 00:12:55,280
Coach Jim Clayton: And years later I walked in there with that final check.
282
00:12:55,680 –> 00:12:56,480
Coach Jim Clayton: And I said, Mr.
283
00:12:56,560 –> 00:13:00,640
Coach Jim Clayton: McGuinness, I told you I was going to take care of this, and here it is.
284
00:13:00,540 –> 00:13:03,180
Coach Jim Clayton: He shook my hand and he said, wow.
285
00:13:03,180 –> 00:13:05,820
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, I got one question for you now.
286
00:13:05,820 –> 00:13:12,940
Coach Jim Clayton: If I came back tomorrow and wanted to start another business and needed a loan, would you give it to me?
287
00:13:13,120 –> 00:13:15,440
Coach Jim Clayton: He said, yes, sir.
288
00:13:15,680 –> 00:13:17,360
Coach Jim Clayton: I could have done the other thing.
289
00:13:17,360 –> 00:13:25,120
Coach Jim Clayton: But you know, you think about 1992, 33 years later, if I’d have took that box and cashed in with the brother guys
290
00:13:25,300 –> 00:13:27,220
Coach Jim Clayton: We would not be sitting there having this conversation.
291
00:13:27,220 –> 00:13:27,860
Randy Black: We would not.
292
00:13:27,860 –> 00:13:31,140
Coach Jim Clayton: None of the awesome things that have happened in my life would have ever happened.
293
00:13:31,140 –> 00:13:31,860
Randy Black: Right.
294
00:13:31,860 –> 00:13:34,100
Coach Jim Clayton: So it took something like that
295
00:13:35,079 –> 00:13:39,160
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, I’m thinking like, man, I’m out here on the limb all by myself.
296
00:13:39,160 –> 00:13:40,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, that’s tough, big boy.
297
00:13:40,920 –> 00:13:43,800
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s what you’re just going to suck it up and get it done.
298
00:13:44,240 –> 00:13:45,280
Coach Jim Clayton: And guess what?
299
00:13:45,520 –> 00:13:46,960
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s what I did.
300
00:13:46,960 –> 00:13:51,760
Coach Jim Clayton: And somehow, some way, some means, it got done
301
00:13:52,320 –> 00:13:53,840
Coach Jim Clayton: And I could have given up.
302
00:13:53,840 –> 00:13:54,560
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
303
00:13:54,560 –> 00:13:56,240
Coach Jim Clayton: But you can’t be a whiner and a winner.
304
00:13:56,240 –> 00:13:56,800
Randy Black: Right.
305
00:13:56,800 –> 00:14:02,560
Coach Jim Clayton: I wasn’t going to whine around and go, oh, these guys threw me under the bus, you know, da-da-da-da-da-da.
306
00:14:02,640 –> 00:14:03,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Uh-uh.
307
00:14:04,000 –> 00:14:05,760
Coach Jim Clayton: I ain’t going under that bus.
308
00:14:05,760 –> 00:14:06,320
Randy Black: No.
309
00:14:09,280 –> 00:14:11,520
Coach Jim Clayton: It ain’t gonna ever be the Jim Clayton you know.
310
00:14:11,520 –> 00:14:13,280
Coach Jim Clayton: I ain’t giving up for nothing.
311
00:14:13,280 –> 00:14:16,800
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean the things might not always be going exactly the way you want it, but
312
00:14:16,660 –> 00:14:18,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Again, that can’t define you.
313
00:14:18,420 –> 00:14:19,620
Coach Jim Clayton: And you don’t give up.
314
00:14:19,620 –> 00:14:21,140
Coach Jim Clayton: You just keep looking forward.
315
00:14:21,140 –> 00:14:23,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Everything’s marching forward, not backward.
316
00:14:23,540 –> 00:14:24,740
Randy Black: So, you know
317
00:14:25,220 –> 00:14:26,820
Randy Black: You have that mindset.
318
00:14:26,820 –> 00:14:28,500
Randy Black: I have that mindset.
319
00:14:28,500 –> 00:14:38,980
Randy Black: But today, the generation we have today, are we are we doing enough to really teach them this kind of resilience, this ability to bounce back?
320
00:14:38,980 –> 00:14:39,860
Coach Jim Clayton: No.
321
00:14:39,759 –> 00:14:42,319
Coach Jim Clayton: 100% no, no, no, no, no.
322
00:14:42,319 –> 00:14:44,399
Coach Jim Clayton: We’re teaching a bunch of kids how to be soft.
323
00:14:44,720 –> 00:14:46,160
Coach Jim Clayton: How to be big woo-woo.
324
00:14:46,160 –> 00:14:47,519
Randy Black: Take let me give you an example.
325
00:14:47,519 –> 00:14:52,000
Randy Black: Okay, and this has been the last 10 plus years in education, okay
326
00:14:52,680 –> 00:14:54,040
Randy Black: Kid fails a class.
327
00:14:54,040 –> 00:14:57,000
Randy Black: In the past, student failed a class.
328
00:14:57,000 –> 00:14:58,680
Randy Black: What did they have to do?
329
00:14:58,680 –> 00:14:59,800
Randy Black: Retake the class.
330
00:14:59,800 –> 00:15:00,360
Randy Black: Yep.
331
00:15:00,360 –> 00:15:01,800
Randy Black: We don’t do that anymore.
332
00:15:01,920 –> 00:15:02,959
Randy Black: Your kid.
333
00:15:02,959 –> 00:15:04,560
Randy Black: They don’t retake the class.
334
00:15:04,560 –> 00:15:09,040
Randy Black: They go to summer school, they do a online version of the class, or
335
00:15:09,400 –> 00:15:22,040
Randy Black: You know, I know in Cabell County, they have actual people employed, full-time teachers, who are working with the kids in a class, doing these online classes to recover their credits that they lost.
336
00:15:22,220 –> 00:15:23,820
Randy Black: Instead of retaking the class.
337
00:15:23,980 –> 00:15:24,700
Randy Black: That’s unbelievable.
338
00:15:24,860 –> 00:15:30,380
Randy Black: We’re we’re giving them the opportunity and damn a lot of people say, well, these these online ones are a lot harder
339
00:15:30,360 –> 00:15:31,800
Randy Black: I don’t think they are.
340
00:15:31,800 –> 00:15:40,440
Randy Black: I’ve, you know, I spent a school year when I was teaching full time at Cabell Midland, and I had two periods a day where I did this credit recovery.
341
00:15:40,240 –> 00:15:45,760
Randy Black: And I stayed on those kids and I made them work and I didn’t let them get by with anything.
342
00:15:45,760 –> 00:15:48,800
Randy Black: But I looked at the classes they were working on and I thought.
343
00:15:49,940 –> 00:15:53,700
Randy Black: Man, this is a lot easier than the actual class.
344
00:15:53,700 –> 00:16:01,860
Randy Black: So we we’ve kind of softened it down because they know if I failed the first time, I’m just gonna sit in this room and work on the computer and do this and get and be able to get done in no time.
345
00:16:01,560 –> 00:16:04,040
Randy Black: And that’s that’s what we’re doing now, especially with that.
346
00:16:04,840 –> 00:16:09,800
Randy Black: There’s other way I mean, but in other ways, like look at what we’ve done now with
347
00:16:10,500 –> 00:16:11,860
Randy Black: Athletics.
348
00:16:11,860 –> 00:16:13,380
Randy Black: You know, kids transferring.
349
00:16:13,380 –> 00:16:15,620
Randy Black: Oh, I couldn’t play I couldn’t get a playing time at this school.
350
00:16:15,620 –> 00:16:17,779
Randy Black: So I’m gonna go over here to the smaller school where
351
00:16:17,700 –> 00:16:26,500
Randy Black: I’m the big fish in the little pond, and then I get to play instead of learning from the situation of bouncing back from the adversity they face, they just run from it, go somewhere else.
352
00:16:26,080 –> 00:16:28,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh there’s no such thing as loyalty today.
353
00:16:28,000 –> 00:16:28,160
Randy Black: Right.
354
00:16:28,240 –> 00:16:29,760
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s just what can you do for me?
355
00:16:29,760 –> 00:16:30,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Me, me, me, me, me.
356
00:16:30,880 –> 00:16:33,360
Randy Black: Oh college at college athletics.
357
00:16:33,360 –> 00:16:34,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh it’s oh yeah.
358
00:16:34,240 –> 00:16:35,760
Randy Black: They’re gonna be able to pay the players now.
359
00:16:35,760 –> 00:16:38,320
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean th there’s no there’s no way to prepare them.
360
00:16:38,320 –> 00:16:40,160
Coach Jim Clayton: I heard this one yesterday
361
00:16:40,040 –> 00:16:46,600
Coach Jim Clayton: God says, let’s say you’re getting paid from uh Ohio State University.
362
00:16:47,080 –> 00:16:48,760
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re paying the player.
363
00:16:49,200 –> 00:16:52,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Does that make you an employee of Ohio State?
364
00:16:52,320 –> 00:16:55,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Well you would think, because Ohio State’s paying their professors.
365
00:16:55,920 –> 00:16:57,839
Coach Jim Clayton: They are employees, so they’re paying their athletes.
366
00:16:57,920 –> 00:16:58,560
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re now employees.
367
00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:01,279
Coach Jim Clayton: So now here comes the TAX
368
00:17:01,360 –> 00:17:02,720
Coach Jim Clayton: That they ain’t thinking about.
369
00:17:02,720 –> 00:17:03,200
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
370
00:17:03,360 –> 00:17:05,199
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, yes, it’s a whole nother thing.
371
00:17:05,199 –> 00:17:09,440
Coach Jim Clayton: But I remember back on that one subject, I failed a class in high school.
372
00:17:09,440 –> 00:17:10,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Geometry.
373
00:17:10,720 –> 00:17:12,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, I hated that class
374
00:17:12,500 –> 00:17:13,539
Coach Jim Clayton: Hated it.
375
00:17:13,539 –> 00:17:15,299
Coach Jim Clayton: Couldn’t understand why I needed it.
376
00:17:15,860 –> 00:17:18,339
Coach Jim Clayton: Had to take it in summer school.
377
00:17:18,339 –> 00:17:19,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh Lord
378
00:17:19,980 –> 00:17:24,060
Coach Jim Clayton: had Miss McClanahan Shirley McClanahan.
379
00:17:24,060 –> 00:17:34,860
Coach Jim Clayton: She was five foot nothing, had his face between her teeth, and she said, Hey, you’re gonna take this class.
380
00:17:34,740 –> 00:17:37,620
Coach Jim Clayton: And I said, I don’t even like this class.
381
00:17:37,620 –> 00:17:40,900
Coach Jim Clayton: She goes, I don’t care if you like it.
382
00:17:40,900 –> 00:17:43,140
Coach Jim Clayton: She goes, you’re gonna get it
383
00:17:43,340 –> 00:17:45,740
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, I just want to let you know.
384
00:17:45,740 –> 00:17:47,020
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t like her.
385
00:17:47,020 –> 00:17:48,780
Coach Jim Clayton: She says, well, I ain’t worried about that.
386
00:17:48,780 –> 00:17:49,740
Coach Jim Clayton: She’s tough.
387
00:17:49,740 –> 00:17:50,620
Randy Black: Yeah.
388
00:17:50,620 –> 00:17:55,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Now, I took the summer school class, which I wasn’t real excited about going to summer school
389
00:17:56,019 –> 00:17:58,580
Coach Jim Clayton: And I passed the class.
390
00:17:59,380 –> 00:18:02,659
Coach Jim Clayton: Now I hated that classe.
391
00:18:02,659 –> 00:18:04,580
Coach Jim Clayton: But she’s my favorite teacher ever.
392
00:18:04,580 –> 00:18:05,299
Randy Black: Yeah.
393
00:18:05,440 –> 00:18:07,600
Coach Jim Clayton: So you look at that and go, well, how are you going?
394
00:18:07,600 –> 00:18:09,279
Coach Jim Clayton: You told her you didn’t like it.
395
00:18:09,279 –> 00:18:10,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Now she’s your favorite town.
396
00:18:10,720 –> 00:18:11,679
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, you know why?
397
00:18:11,679 –> 00:18:13,120
Coach Jim Clayton: Because she didn’t give up on it.
398
00:18:13,519 –> 00:18:16,799
Coach Jim Clayton: And I’ll never forget one time after the class was over
399
00:18:17,040 –> 00:18:19,680
Coach Jim Clayton: She was at our basketball game at the fieldhouse.
400
00:18:19,680 –> 00:18:23,840
Coach Jim Clayton: And she was so teeny, she couldn’t hardly see over the rails and the police room.
401
00:18:23,840 –> 00:18:30,320
Coach Jim Clayton: And I could see her little head up there because I knew where she sat, right at the end of the right before you go in the locker rooms at the old field house
402
00:18:30,340 –> 00:18:35,460
Coach Jim Clayton: She came in there one time and she says, you know, you remember that geometry class you took from me?
403
00:18:35,460 –> 00:18:37,059
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, yes, ma’am, I do.
404
00:18:37,059 –> 00:18:40,660
Coach Jim Clayton: She goes, you know, I watched you drive into that basket.
405
00:18:40,360 –> 00:18:45,240
Coach Jim Clayton: And you were using those angles and hitting those balls off that glass and hitting those baskets.
406
00:18:45,240 –> 00:18:49,320
Coach Jim Clayton: She goes, that was this in geometry
407
00:18:49,540 –> 00:18:50,820
Coach Jim Clayton: And she told me.
408
00:18:50,820 –> 00:18:54,260
Coach Jim Clayton: And I said, oh, I understand it now.
409
00:18:54,260 –> 00:18:54,900
Randy Black: Yeah.
410
00:18:54,900 –> 00:18:58,260
Coach Jim Clayton: See, she broke it down for me, because you know nobody learns the same way.
411
00:18:58,260 –> 00:18:58,500
Randy Black: No
412
00:18:58,860 –> 00:19:03,899
Coach Jim Clayton: So you might have to teach something ten different times to get it across to the whole classroom.
413
00:19:03,899 –> 00:19:04,539
Randy Black: Right.
414
00:19:04,539 –> 00:19:06,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, some people don’t do today.
415
00:19:06,700 –> 00:19:09,100
Coach Jim Clayton: And I’m looking back at that and I go.
416
00:19:09,760 –> 00:19:12,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Miss McLean, you’re my favorite teacher ever.
417
00:19:12,880 –> 00:19:14,880
Coach Jim Clayton: But I still hate geometry.
418
00:19:14,880 –> 00:19:15,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
419
00:19:15,360 –> 00:19:19,840
Coach Jim Clayton: I d still do not like it, but I mean what I mean, what she pushed me through.
420
00:19:19,840 –> 00:19:24,159
Randy Black: You I mean and part of it has to be that no one had given you a practical application of it.
421
00:19:24,060 –> 00:19:25,340
Coach Jim Clayton: No, nobody ever told me anything.
422
00:19:27,180 –> 00:19:30,460
Randy Black: Right, but then after the fact when she did the light bulb.
423
00:19:30,460 –> 00:19:32,540
Coach Jim Clayton: It was that light ball, that proverbial light bulb.
424
00:19:32,540 –> 00:19:34,060
Coach Jim Clayton: She put me in a story.
425
00:19:34,060 –> 00:19:34,780
Randy Black: Yes.
426
00:19:34,780 –> 00:19:36,300
Coach Jim Clayton: And I was thinking like
427
00:19:36,460 –> 00:19:39,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Well golly, why didn’t you just tell me that the first time?
428
00:19:39,260 –> 00:19:39,740
Randy Black: Yeah.
429
00:19:39,740 –> 00:19:41,580
Coach Jim Clayton: I would have got it.
430
00:19:41,580 –> 00:19:44,540
Coach Jim Clayton: But see, there’s some kids in there that got that like this.
431
00:19:44,540 –> 00:19:46,220
Coach Jim Clayton: They just got it like nothing.
432
00:19:46,860 –> 00:19:48,300
Coach Jim Clayton: I wasn’t one of them.
433
00:19:48,300 –> 00:19:48,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Right
434
00:19:49,220 –> 00:19:52,900
Coach Jim Clayton: And everybody in my whole family’s a math witch.
435
00:19:52,900 –> 00:19:53,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Engineers.
436
00:19:53,940 –> 00:19:54,420
Coach Jim Clayton: True.
437
00:19:54,580 –> 00:19:56,340
Coach Jim Clayton: My dad said, you’re gonna be engineered.
438
00:19:56,340 –> 00:19:58,420
Coach Jim Clayton: I said, uh no, I’m not.
439
00:19:58,420 –> 00:19:59,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Not working for me.
440
00:19:59,780 –> 00:20:00,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Well guess what?
441
00:20:00,580 –> 00:20:01,700
Coach Jim Clayton: As you can see, I was
442
00:20:01,940 –> 00:20:02,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Not an engineer.
443
00:20:04,100 –> 00:20:06,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah, you could call me a basketball engineer.
444
00:20:06,419 –> 00:20:11,700
Coach Jim Clayton: A lot of things you could call me, but working for the uh Corps of Engineers, something like that, or
445
00:20:11,940 –> 00:20:13,139
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s not me.
446
00:20:13,139 –> 00:20:14,899
Coach Jim Clayton: But I know it’s an important thing.
447
00:20:14,899 –> 00:20:15,380
Randy Black: Right.
448
00:20:16,740 –> 00:20:25,220
Randy Black: The whole idea really that when we look at this of are we preparing these kids and this future generation is that, you know, in the past
449
00:20:25,820 –> 00:20:30,540
Randy Black: We allowed people to make mistakes, but we helped guide them to fix it.
450
00:20:30,540 –> 00:20:33,020
Randy Black: I don’t think we do that as much today
451
00:20:33,360 –> 00:20:37,840
Randy Black: We’re not we’re not really we’re not really giving them the like, hey, this happened.
452
00:20:37,840 –> 00:20:42,880
Randy Black: Let’s take this, let’s learn from it, and let’s move back to fix the situation.
453
00:20:42,880 –> 00:20:44,320
Randy Black: I don’t think we do that as much.
454
00:20:44,320 –> 00:20:46,639
Coach Jim Clayton: No, I’m gonna give you a great quote.
455
00:20:46,260 –> 00:20:48,820
Coach Jim Clayton: And I got this off one of my friends, Danny Young.
456
00:20:48,820 –> 00:20:54,980
Coach Jim Clayton: He’s a administrator at up in uh Cleveland at Shake at you know at at Shaker Heights.
457
00:20:55,299 –> 00:20:57,620
Coach Jim Clayton: And um he’s a basketball coach there.
458
00:20:58,120 –> 00:21:03,960
Coach Jim Clayton: And on his thing, he said, and I’ll never forget this, and I use this when he told me this, I said, oh my gosh.
459
00:21:03,960 –> 00:21:06,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Right on what you’re saying.
460
00:21:06,040 –> 00:21:08,920
Coach Jim Clayton: What we permit, we promote.
461
00:21:09,380 –> 00:21:13,300
Coach Jim Clayton: And we are allowing these kids to what?
462
00:21:13,300 –> 00:21:16,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Dictate to us what they want, we’re allowing it to happen.
463
00:21:16,180 –> 00:21:16,500
Randy Black: Yes.
464
00:21:16,500 –> 00:21:18,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Then we’re going, hey.
465
00:21:18,919 –> 00:21:20,679
Coach Jim Clayton: You guys are all soft.
466
00:21:21,320 –> 00:21:21,799
Coach Jim Clayton: Hold on.
467
00:21:21,880 –> 00:21:23,960
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re allowing them to be that way.
468
00:21:23,960 –> 00:21:24,919
Randy Black: Yes.
469
00:21:24,919 –> 00:21:25,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
470
00:21:25,480 –> 00:21:26,840
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re allowing them.
471
00:21:26,840 –> 00:21:31,720
Coach Jim Clayton: If you allow your kids to tell you, tell, tell you what they want for dinner
472
00:21:31,860 –> 00:21:35,460
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re gonna have McDonald’s, Wendy’s, cheeseburgers, pizza.
473
00:21:35,460 –> 00:21:37,539
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s not healthy food.
474
00:21:37,539 –> 00:21:38,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Uh-uh.
475
00:21:38,260 –> 00:21:40,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Who’s in charge here?
476
00:21:40,860 –> 00:21:42,300
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s my question.
477
00:21:42,300 –> 00:21:43,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Who is in charge here?
478
00:21:43,900 –> 00:21:44,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
479
00:21:44,860 –> 00:21:45,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
480
00:21:45,500 –> 00:21:51,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Back in the day, it used to be a game we played called Follow the Leader.
481
00:21:51,780 –> 00:21:53,380
Coach Jim Clayton: They threw that game away.
482
00:21:53,620 –> 00:21:55,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Now it’s called follow the follower.
483
00:21:56,020 –> 00:21:57,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Because there’s no leaders.
484
00:21:57,380 –> 00:21:57,860
Randy Black: Yeah.
485
00:21:57,860 –> 00:21:59,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Nobody who’s willing to.
486
00:21:59,380 –> 00:22:01,220
Randy Black: We’re not we’re not building a generation of leaders.
487
00:22:01,220 –> 00:22:01,540
Coach Jim Clayton: No!
488
00:22:01,700 –> 00:22:05,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Somebody’s gonna stand knee deep in the crap, in the trenches.
489
00:22:05,760 –> 00:22:14,400
Randy Black: Like I I I hate to get political, but you know, when when I see certain people out there, you know, like certain members of Congress who are considered leaders
490
00:22:15,380 –> 00:22:18,900
Randy Black: And and the younger ones and we just it’s it’s just not there.
491
00:22:18,900 –> 00:22:22,900
Randy Black: And we’re we’re in trouble if these people become our national leaders.
492
00:22:22,900 –> 00:22:25,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Now you know when I look at that and I’m not polit
493
00:22:26,120 –> 00:22:36,040
Coach Jim Clayton: political thing, but when I look at people that are entering the political realm and they were like former Navy SEALs.
494
00:22:36,860 –> 00:22:38,780
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m liking that person right out again.
495
00:22:38,780 –> 00:22:39,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
496
00:22:39,100 –> 00:22:41,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Because I know he knows discipline.
497
00:22:41,500 –> 00:22:45,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Now my definition of discipline is so simple.
498
00:22:45,120 –> 00:22:48,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Do what you’re supposed to do when you’re supposed to do.
499
00:22:48,320 –> 00:22:48,960
Randy Black: Yep.
500
00:22:48,960 –> 00:22:50,400
Coach Jim Clayton: End of conversation.
501
00:22:50,400 –> 00:22:51,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Not five minutes.
502
00:22:51,360 –> 00:22:52,160
Coach Jim Clayton: I need that right now.
503
00:22:52,160 –> 00:22:53,360
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ll get that in about five minutes.
504
00:22:53,360 –> 00:22:54,640
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not working for me.
505
00:22:56,580 –> 00:23:02,019
Coach Jim Clayton: So when these people are in there, I know they’re mission oriented.
506
00:23:02,019 –> 00:23:06,019
Coach Jim Clayton: So they we don’t know what those missions are because nobody ever tells you.
507
00:23:06,019 –> 00:23:06,340
Randy Black: Right.
508
00:23:06,340 –> 00:23:07,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Because they’re top secret
509
00:23:08,380 –> 00:23:09,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
510
00:23:09,500 –> 00:23:19,820
Coach Jim Clayton: But when those guys can go on a mission, train for that mission for months, go in, execute, get in, get out, never even hear about it.
511
00:23:20,160 –> 00:23:21,039
Coach Jim Clayton: Wow.
512
00:23:21,039 –> 00:23:22,640
Coach Jim Clayton: They know how to get stuff done.
513
00:23:22,640 –> 00:23:23,360
Randy Black: Right.
514
00:23:23,360 –> 00:23:25,360
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s what gets my attention.
515
00:23:25,360 –> 00:23:29,679
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re not going in there like, whatever, whatever, whatever.
516
00:23:30,140 –> 00:23:31,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
517
00:23:31,340 –> 00:23:37,180
Coach Jim Clayton: And most of them that are like that, the young ones are off the charts, and the old ones have been there too long.
518
00:23:37,180 –> 00:23:37,820
Randy Black: Yeah
519
00:23:38,320 –> 00:23:41,120
Coach Jim Clayton: Time to move on, let somebody else get in there.
520
00:23:41,120 –> 00:23:45,040
Coach Jim Clayton: But again, teaching people how to do the right thing.
521
00:23:45,040 –> 00:23:47,120
Coach Jim Clayton: You do the right thing.
522
00:23:47,140 –> 00:23:49,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Even when everybody else is doing the wrong thing.
523
00:23:49,700 –> 00:23:50,260
Randy Black: Right.
524
00:23:50,260 –> 00:23:51,620
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s called character.
525
00:23:51,620 –> 00:23:54,980
Randy Black: Doing the right thing doesn’t always mean that everyone thinks you’re right.
526
00:23:54,980 –> 00:23:56,180
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s exactly right.
527
00:23:56,180 –> 00:23:56,900
Coach Jim Clayton: 100%
528
00:23:57,440 –> 00:23:58,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
529
00:23:58,080 –> 00:24:00,960
Coach Jim Clayton: But wrong plus wrong is wrong even if everybody’s doing it.
530
00:24:00,960 –> 00:24:01,919
Randy Black: Exactly.
531
00:24:01,919 –> 00:24:04,799
Coach Jim Clayton: And right plus right is right even if nobody’s doing it.
532
00:24:05,440 –> 00:24:09,200
Coach Jim Clayton: So again, leaders have the ability to stand out.
533
00:24:09,200 –> 00:24:12,159
Coach Jim Clayton: They have not the ability to blend in.
534
00:24:12,040 –> 00:24:14,520
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re not trying to be your friend every day.
535
00:24:14,520 –> 00:24:19,480
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re telling you and hoping and working with you on what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
536
00:24:19,480 –> 00:24:20,120
Randy Black: Yeah
537
00:24:21,140 –> 00:24:23,780
Coach Jim Clayton: But they do it in a professional way.
538
00:24:23,780 –> 00:24:25,620
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re not beating you down.
539
00:24:25,940 –> 00:24:26,580
Randy Black: Not at all.
540
00:24:26,580 –> 00:24:28,100
Coach Jim Clayton: No, you don’t work for me, bud.
541
00:24:28,100 –> 00:24:28,980
Coach Jim Clayton: You work with me.
542
00:24:28,980 –> 00:24:29,380
Randy Black: Yes.
543
00:24:29,380 –> 00:24:31,620
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s a big difference in those two statements.
544
00:24:32,080 –> 00:24:40,400
Coach Jim Clayton: And sometimes in education, that’s the only profession I know that you can go get a master’s degree and be put at the top.
545
00:24:40,980 –> 00:24:44,340
Coach Jim Clayton: You don’t work your way to the top based off experience.
546
00:24:44,340 –> 00:24:44,660
Randy Black: Yeah.
547
00:24:44,660 –> 00:24:48,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, you get a degree in finance, you’re not becoming the bank president overnight.
548
00:24:48,340 –> 00:24:49,620
Coach Jim Clayton: No, you’ve got to work your way from the bottom.
549
00:24:50,660 –> 00:24:51,940
Randy Black: It’s a long road.
550
00:24:52,100 –> 00:24:52,740
Randy Black: Yes
551
00:24:53,000 –> 00:25:01,000
Randy Black: I well, I mean, I I I know of individuals who became school administrators and, you know, directors at
552
00:25:01,320 –> 00:25:04,040
Randy Black: central office level who never taught in a classroom.
553
00:25:04,200 –> 00:25:06,760
Coach Jim Clayton: And they couldn’t lead to anybody.
554
00:25:06,760 –> 00:25:07,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
555
00:25:07,240 –> 00:25:11,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Now me personally, that wasn’t for me because I like to be in the trenches with the troops.
556
00:25:11,320 –> 00:25:12,120
Randy Black: Yeah.
557
00:25:12,120 –> 00:25:13,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh yeah.
558
00:25:13,400 –> 00:25:14,760
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s where I want to be.
559
00:25:14,760 –> 00:25:16,600
Coach Jim Clayton: I want to be right in the thick of it.
560
00:25:16,600 –> 00:25:17,240
Randy Black: Yes.
561
00:25:17,240 –> 00:25:19,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Leading, growing, expanding.
562
00:25:19,480 –> 00:25:20,200
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
563
00:25:20,200 –> 00:25:24,760
Coach Jim Clayton: All these people in directions in a positive way they never thought even possible they could do.
564
00:25:25,100 –> 00:25:26,539
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s what true leaders do.
565
00:25:26,539 –> 00:25:30,860
Coach Jim Clayton: And they want no, they don’t want anybody to say, oh man, you were great.
566
00:25:30,860 –> 00:25:35,500
Coach Jim Clayton: They don’t need any of those, you know, uh, those superlatives.
567
00:25:35,519 –> 00:25:37,519
Coach Jim Clayton: The best I don’t need none of that.
568
00:25:37,519 –> 00:25:38,639
Coach Jim Clayton: Don’t need any of that.
569
00:25:38,639 –> 00:25:39,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
570
00:25:39,360 –> 00:25:44,480
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s just good for a trophy case or, you know what I mean, good taste, whatever
571
00:25:44,260 –> 00:25:45,140
Coach Jim Clayton: That doesn’t really mean it.
572
00:25:49,220 –> 00:25:50,260
Coach Jim Clayton: And I ain’t worried about that.
573
00:25:50,260 –> 00:25:50,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
574
00:25:50,580 –> 00:25:52,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Already feel good
575
00:25:51,880 –> 00:25:54,280
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t need nobody make me feel better when I say this.
576
00:25:54,360 –> 00:26:00,520
Randy Black: So our first two quotes there, you know, Nelson Nelson uh Mandela and Vince Lombardi, we’ve kind of built up
577
00:26:00,860 –> 00:26:04,299
Randy Black: you know, that foundation for resilience, that foundation for grit.
578
00:26:04,299 –> 00:26:11,019
Randy Black: So let’s kind of move and change directions a little bit with more about what it’s like to to really weather those storms in life.
579
00:26:11,019 –> 00:26:14,380
Randy Black: So let’s let’s start out with uh a quote here from Maya Angelou
580
00:26:14,460 –> 00:26:17,580
Randy Black: Uh she’s an American poet, uh memorist.
581
00:26:17,580 –> 00:26:19,580
Randy Black: Uh she was a civil rights activist.
582
00:26:19,580 –> 00:26:21,020
Randy Black: Uh she had numerous works.
583
00:26:21,020 –> 00:26:24,460
Randy Black: Probably her best-known one was I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings
584
00:26:24,660 –> 00:26:36,020
Randy Black: Uh she was a a very powerful voice for dignity, for equality, and for truth in America, coming off of the civil rights era here in the United States.
585
00:26:36,160 –> 00:26:45,840
Randy Black: In Letter to My Daughter, she wrote reflections on the traumatic past and the transformation she had into becoming a leading voice
586
00:26:45,840 –> 00:26:47,679
Randy Black: for dignity and for justice.
587
00:26:47,679 –> 00:26:57,120
Randy Black: And she acknowledges the the impact in life that it had while asserting the power to preserve self-worth.
588
00:26:57,120 –> 00:26:58,640
Randy Black: And her quote here says
589
00:26:59,040 –> 00:27:06,160
Randy Black: I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.
590
00:27:06,160 –> 00:27:06,480
Randy Black: So
591
00:27:07,440 –> 00:27:16,960
Randy Black: W what what do you think that or what a how when when you hear that, what do you see as being that difference between being changed and being reduced?
592
00:27:16,960 –> 00:27:18,320
Coach Jim Clayton: See I’m not gonna let that
593
00:27:18,900 –> 00:27:19,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Push me down.
594
00:27:20,420 –> 00:27:22,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Reduce means I’m going what smaller.
595
00:27:23,300 –> 00:27:23,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
596
00:27:23,780 –> 00:27:26,580
Coach Jim Clayton: So change though is inevitable.
597
00:27:26,580 –> 00:27:27,700
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s going to happen.
598
00:27:27,700 –> 00:27:29,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, no change, no change.
599
00:27:30,200 –> 00:27:36,679
Coach Jim Clayton: Now everybody wants to change their circumstances, but the funny thing is nobody wants to change themselves.
600
00:27:36,679 –> 00:27:37,639
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
601
00:27:37,639 –> 00:27:41,639
Coach Jim Clayton: And change is that pill woo nobody wants.
602
00:27:41,639 –> 00:27:42,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Because you know why?
603
00:27:42,840 –> 00:27:44,120
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re stuck
604
00:27:44,280 –> 00:27:47,960
Coach Jim Clayton: in their 12 by 12 inch comfort zone.
605
00:27:47,960 –> 00:27:48,760
Randy Black: Right.
606
00:27:48,760 –> 00:27:51,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Not much room to grow there.
607
00:27:51,400 –> 00:27:55,080
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re not going to grow in that in it because there’s nowhere to go.
608
00:27:55,240 –> 00:27:58,280
Coach Jim Clayton: You boxed yourself in.
609
00:27:57,519 –> 00:28:00,960
Coach Jim Clayton: So with her, for example, things happen.
610
00:28:00,960 –> 00:28:03,039
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re going to change you.
611
00:28:03,039 –> 00:28:06,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Hopefully for the not the bigger.
612
00:28:06,320 –> 00:28:08,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Because you see, that’s what most people do.
613
00:28:08,000 –> 00:28:08,720
Coach Jim Clayton: They don’t change.
614
00:28:08,720 –> 00:28:10,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Hey, just get mad.
615
00:28:10,519 –> 00:28:12,840
Coach Jim Clayton: That ain’t gonna fix anything.
616
00:28:12,840 –> 00:28:15,720
Coach Jim Clayton: The world doesn’t care because you’re mad.
617
00:28:15,720 –> 00:28:18,200
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s moving on with you or without you.
618
00:28:18,679 –> 00:28:20,360
Coach Jim Clayton: So why are you mad?
619
00:28:20,620 –> 00:28:21,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Why?
620
00:28:21,260 –> 00:28:21,820
Coach Jim Clayton: You know why?
621
00:28:21,820 –> 00:28:23,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Because you know what you wanted.
622
00:28:23,180 –> 00:28:24,060
Coach Jim Clayton: Exactly.
623
00:28:24,060 –> 00:28:25,820
Coach Jim Clayton: There it comes back to that what?
624
00:28:25,820 –> 00:28:26,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Soft.
625
00:28:26,780 –> 00:28:27,660
Randy Black: You get what you want.
626
00:28:27,660 –> 00:28:28,460
Coach Jim Clayton: So what are you gonna do?
627
00:28:28,860 –> 00:28:32,460
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re gonna whine, you gonna cry, you gonna hiss, you’re gonna moan
628
00:28:32,200 –> 00:28:33,320
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re gonna bitch.
629
00:28:33,320 –> 00:28:40,360
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re gonna do everything you can do, excuse my friends, but you’re gonna do everything you can do except fix the problem.
630
00:28:40,360 –> 00:28:40,679
Randy Black: Right.
631
00:28:40,679 –> 00:28:42,919
Randy Black: It’s it’s it’s kind of the idea that you’re
632
00:28:42,940 –> 00:28:49,659
Randy Black: You’re resisting letting that trauma in your life, letting that event, letting that change define you.
633
00:28:49,659 –> 00:28:51,260
Randy Black: You’re using that
634
00:28:51,460 –> 00:28:52,900
Randy Black: To move yourself forward.
635
00:28:52,900 –> 00:28:53,860
Coach Jim Clayton: There’s no question.
636
00:28:53,860 –> 00:29:02,820
Coach Jim Clayton: And sometimes as you’re as you’re moving yourself forward when you think, oh man, this is it, you know, mate, you can’t see the good things that are right in front of you that are about to happen.
637
00:29:03,820 –> 00:29:04,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Can’t see them.
638
00:29:04,940 –> 00:29:05,820
Coach Jim Clayton: You know why?
639
00:29:05,820 –> 00:29:09,660
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re there every day for everybody in the world.
640
00:29:09,660 –> 00:29:11,420
Coach Jim Clayton: But we ain’t looking for them.
641
00:29:11,420 –> 00:29:13,580
Coach Jim Clayton: And if you’re not looking, you can’t see
642
00:29:14,460 –> 00:29:16,860
Coach Jim Clayton: And it’s there for everybody.
643
00:29:16,860 –> 00:29:20,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, I use the example of that when I when I see that one.
644
00:29:20,140 –> 00:29:22,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, my health is shit.
645
00:29:22,940 –> 00:29:26,380
Coach Jim Clayton: So when I got diagnosed with the big C,
646
00:29:27,019 –> 00:29:31,100
Coach Jim Clayton: I let I uh uh uh uh uh you ain’t pushing me down.
647
00:29:31,100 –> 00:29:33,340
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m not gonna define me.
648
00:29:33,340 –> 00:29:34,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Not gonna happen.
649
00:29:34,380 –> 00:29:35,100
Coach Jim Clayton: But you know what?
650
00:29:35,100 –> 00:29:37,260
Coach Jim Clayton: You said this word how many times?
651
00:29:37,260 –> 00:29:39,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Mindset, mindset, mindset.
652
00:29:39,100 –> 00:29:40,380
Coach Jim Clayton: And then when we had

Randy Black: Yeah.
655
00:29:45,460 –> 00:29:47,460
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, the stuff he said about it.
656
00:29:47,460 –> 00:29:48,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Woo!
657
00:29:48,919 –> 00:29:49,400

00:29:51,720 –> 00:29:52,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Brad, man.

00:29:52,360 –> 00:29:52,919
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh yeah.

Coach Jim Clayton: I was listening at last night.
665
00:29:54,760 –> 00:29:57,000
Coach Jim Clayton: And I was going, man.
666
00:29:56,940 –> 00:30:01,179
Coach Jim Clayton: It was better to I mean I mean I wrote four pages of notes on that.
667
00:30:01,179 –> 00:30:02,220
Randy Black: Yes.
668
00:30:02,220 –> 00:30:04,059
Coach Jim Clayton: And I was listening to it.
669
00:30:04,059 –> 00:30:06,620
Coach Jim Clayton: I could see myself writing those notes.
670
00:30:06,720 –> 00:30:11,680
Coach Jim Clayton: But I was like, I knew those things, but I didn’t know why I was feeling those things.
671
00:30:12,160 –> 00:30:13,600
Coach Jim Clayton: But now I know.
672
00:30:13,600 –> 00:30:15,200
Coach Jim Clayton: But I still wasn’t gonna let that happen.
673
00:30:15,280 –> 00:30:16,800
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m not gonna let that knock me down.
674
00:30:16,800 –> 00:30:18,480
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m not gonna be reduced by it.
675
00:30:18,480 –> 00:30:19,360
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m gonna be what?
676
00:30:19,360 –> 00:30:21,280
Coach Jim Clayton: What’s the opposite of reduced?
677
00:30:21,480 –> 00:30:22,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Expand.
678
00:30:22,360 –> 00:30:22,760
Randy Black: Yes.
679
00:30:22,760 –> 00:30:23,720
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m going to be expanding.
680
00:30:23,880 –> 00:30:24,680
Randy Black: You’re going to grow.
681
00:30:24,680 –> 00:30:28,600
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m going to grow from and some of the greatest things are happening now

683
00:30:33,600 –> 00:30:34,399
Randy Black: Yeah.
684
00:30:34,399 –> 00:30:37,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Right along the lines, that is me
685
00:30:38,500 –> 00:30:41,059
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s not maybe that guy over there, but it’s me.
686
00:30:41,620 –> 00:30:44,179
Coach Jim Clayton: And I’m good in my own skin.
687
00:30:44,179 –> 00:30:44,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
688
00:30:45,059 –> 00:30:49,539
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, whatever happens, I can’t control all the time what happens.
689
00:30:49,539 –> 00:30:50,340
Randy Black: Right.
690
00:30:49,960 –> 00:30:52,280
Coach Jim Clayton: I could just control what I’m gonna do about it.
691
00:30:52,280 –> 00:30:57,480
Randy Black: You know, and when when I when I read that quote, you know, I kinda think of, you know
692
00:30:57,640 –> 00:31:07,720
Randy Black: You have to think about how can you maintain your identity, maintain your integrity while you’re under this pressure of this change that’s happening and not letting it
693
00:31:07,860 –> 00:31:08,580
Randy Black: Beat you down.
694
00:31:08,580 –> 00:31:10,260
Randy Black: And you know what it throws me back to?
695
00:31:10,419 –> 00:31:12,899
Randy Black: Throws me back to your four pillars of resilience.
696
00:31:12,899 –> 00:31:17,220
Randy Black: It throws me back to Brad’s Axe Pact and Axe Plan and all that.
697
00:31:17,460 –> 00:31:19,539
Randy Black: It’s about the way you handle it.
698
00:31:19,340 –> 00:31:20,539
Randy Black: Be positive.
699
00:31:20,539 –> 00:31:23,660
Randy Black: Have the energy to keep yourself up and going to keep your health going.
700
00:31:23,660 –> 00:31:25,419
Randy Black: Make the connection you need to people.
701
00:31:25,419 –> 00:31:26,620
Randy Black: Have a deeper purpose.
702
00:31:26,620 –> 00:31:27,660
Randy Black: Have faith.
703
00:31:27,460 –> 00:31:32,020
Randy Black: Have a connection rooted in a high in that higher power that you see in life.
704
00:31:32,020 –> 00:31:35,300
Randy Black: And it’s all about making your way right through it
705
00:31:35,419 –> 00:31:38,860
Randy Black: And, you know, it’s it’s not the easiest thing to do.
706
00:31:38,860 –> 00:31:43,980
Randy Black: It’s not as we talked about at the very beginning, talking about resilience, it’s not an innate skill.
707
00:31:43,980 –> 00:31:45,500
Randy Black: It has to be learned.
708
00:31:45,500 –> 00:31:48,539
Randy Black: You have to develop that ability on your own.
709
00:31:48,320 –> 00:31:55,840
Randy Black: And being able to do that helps you to achieve, helps you to move on, helps you to, as we’ve said, bounce back.
710
00:31:55,840 –> 00:31:56,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Absolutely.
711
00:31:56,560 –> 00:31:59,600
Coach Jim Clayton: And see, I think that’s something that should be taught in school.
712
00:32:00,100 –> 00:32:01,380
Coach Jim Clayton: So I’d talk in school.
713
00:32:01,940 –> 00:32:04,340
Coach Jim Clayton: All we teach is what we’re gonna test.
714
00:32:04,340 –> 00:32:04,820
Randy Black: Yes.
715
00:32:04,820 –> 00:32:07,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Well I’m gonna tell you something about that.
716
00:32:07,380 –> 00:32:07,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay
717
00:32:08,980 –> 00:32:11,140
Coach Jim Clayton: You look at some of the most successful people.
718
00:32:11,140 –> 00:32:12,420
Coach Jim Clayton: They didn’t test well.
719
00:32:12,420 –> 00:32:12,820
Coach Jim Clayton: No.
720
00:32:12,820 –> 00:32:13,460
Coach Jim Clayton: But you know what?
721
00:32:13,620 –> 00:32:19,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Every job I’ve ever gone to, anything I’ve ever done, I never ask you about what grade they what what grades you make on your SAT
722
00:32:20,060 –> 00:32:22,220
Coach Jim Clayton: What grade did you make on your ACT?
723
00:32:22,220 –> 00:32:23,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Never comes up.
724
00:32:23,340 –> 00:32:23,980
Randy Black: Right.
725
00:32:23,980 –> 00:32:32,060
Coach Jim Clayton: All it all it allows you to do is maybe get into a school, okay, where you you don’t have to take bonehead classes.
726
00:32:31,660 –> 00:32:33,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so why should you even have to take those anyway?
727
00:32:33,820 –> 00:32:36,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Because you know what it’s all about.
728
00:32:36,460 –> 00:32:37,100
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
729
00:32:37,100 –> 00:32:38,140
Randy Black: It’s about the money.
730
00:32:38,140 –> 00:32:38,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Money.
731
00:32:38,860 –> 00:32:40,860
Coach Jim Clayton: The root of all evils
732
00:32:41,360 –> 00:32:42,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Money.
733
00:32:42,320 –> 00:32:43,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Money.
734
00:32:43,040 –> 00:32:43,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Money.
735
00:32:43,440 –> 00:32:44,800
Coach Jim Clayton: What are they teaching kids?
736
00:32:44,800 –> 00:32:45,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Go work for somebody.
737
00:32:45,840 –> 00:32:48,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Why don’t you teach somebody how to work for yourself?
738
00:32:48,080 –> 00:32:49,360
Coach Jim Clayton: How to start your own business?
739
00:32:49,360 –> 00:32:50,560
Coach Jim Clayton: How to be an entrepreneur?
740
00:32:50,560 –> 00:32:52,560
Coach Jim Clayton: I saw a good thing today on TV.
741
00:32:52,640 –> 00:32:55,760

00:32:55,940 –> 00:32:58,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Mom and dad are health professionals.
743
00:32:58,900 –> 00:32:59,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
744
00:32:59,620 –> 00:33:02,820
Coach Jim Clayton: This guy decides when he’s 14 in his garage
745
00:33:04,080 –> 00:33:12,799
Coach Jim Clayton: He’s going I don’t know what what what his deal was, how his gift was, but he could make flower arrangements, which I cannot.
746
00:33:12,860 –> 00:33:14,940
Coach Jim Clayton: I look at one and go, that’s beautiful.
747
00:33:15,500 –> 00:33:16,779
Coach Jim Clayton: My mind ain’t working that well.
748
00:33:16,779 –> 00:33:17,580
Randy Black: Right.
749
00:33:17,580 –> 00:33:19,340
Coach Jim Clayton: So his first year he did it online.
750
00:33:19,340 –> 00:33:20,779
Coach Jim Clayton: Put it online and sold it himself.
751
00:33:20,779 –> 00:33:21,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Nobody told him how to do it.
752
00:33:21,820 –> 00:33:23,179
Coach Jim Clayton: He just did it.
753
00:33:23,120 –> 00:33:27,840
Coach Jim Clayton: So that’s the first year, 14 years old, he had 100,000 books in the bank.
754
00:33:27,840 –> 00:33:28,480
Randy Black: Nice.
755
00:33:28,480 –> 00:33:31,680
Coach Jim Clayton: Not very many 14-year-olds are rolled around with 100,000 in your bank account.
756
00:33:31,760 –> 00:33:32,240
Randy Black: Not really.
757
00:33:32,240 –> 00:33:34,240
Coach Jim Clayton: And he made it all himself.
758
00:33:34,320 –> 00:33:37,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Mom and dad give him give him nothing in his garage.
759
00:33:37,920 –> 00:33:40,320

00:33:40,320 –> 00:33:41,680
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m going to be an entrepreneur.
761
00:33:41,680 –> 00:33:42,640
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t need college.

763
00:33:47,800 –> 00:33:49,800

00:33:49,800 –> 00:33:50,920
Coach Jim Clayton: He didn’t want to go to college.
765
00:33:50,920 –> 00:33:53,000
Coach Jim Clayton: They said, okay, you don’t have to go to college.
766
00:33:53,000 –> 00:33:53,880

778
00:34:15,620 –> 00:34:17,700
Coach Jim Clayton: 21, 14, 21.
779
00:34:17,700 –> 00:34:21,379
Coach Jim Clayton: Now he’s in college, but he’s already a millionaire.
780
00:34:21,379 –> 00:34:24,419
Coach Jim Clayton: He didn’t go to college and be $800 million in debt.
781
00:34:24,419 –> 00:34:24,899
Randy Black: Right.
782
00:34:24,899 –> 00:34:26,580
Coach Jim Clayton: He already had a plan.
783
00:34:26,540 –> 00:34:27,980
Coach Jim Clayton: And that’s going to make him even more.
784
00:34:28,060 –> 00:34:28,940
Coach Jim Clayton: And I’m looking at it.
785
00:34:28,940 –> 00:34:33,660
Coach Jim Clayton: And so the guy says to me, well, how many people are really wired like that?
786
00:34:33,660 –> 00:34:34,380
Randy Black: Not a lot.
787
00:34:34,380 –> 00:34:35,980
Coach Jim Clayton: And that’s exactly what they said.
788
00:34:35,980 –> 00:34:37,260
Coach Jim Clayton: But you could be
789
00:34:37,440 –> 00:34:39,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Because we don’t promote that.
790
00:34:39,200 –> 00:34:43,520
Coach Jim Clayton: We just promote that go get education, go work for somebody else.
791
00:34:43,520 –> 00:34:45,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, you ever had a great idea?
792
00:34:45,520 –> 00:34:46,639
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh yeah.
793
00:34:46,639 –> 00:34:48,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Have you ever tried to do anything with it?
794
00:34:48,560 –> 00:34:49,679
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh no.
795
00:34:50,240 –> 00:34:51,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Why?
796
00:34:51,159 –> 00:34:53,240
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t know just never thought about it like that.
797
00:34:53,240 –> 00:34:54,040
Randy Black: Right.
798
00:34:54,040 –> 00:34:57,720
Coach Jim Clayton: See, because you’re not, nobody’s lighting that fire in you.
799
00:34:57,720 –> 00:34:58,280
Randy Black: Yeah.
800
00:34:58,280 –> 00:35:00,440
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re just really quick to what?
801
00:35:00,359 –> 00:35:01,560
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re the fire fire.
802
00:35:01,560 –> 00:35:02,760
Coach Jim Clayton: What’s a firefighter do?
803
00:35:02,760 –> 00:35:04,119
Coach Jim Clayton: Puts a flame what?
804
00:35:04,760 –> 00:35:05,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Out.
805
00:35:05,240 –> 00:35:08,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Now they’re extremely important if your house is on fire
806
00:35:08,820 –> 00:35:12,980
Coach Jim Clayton: But your your game is on fire, your life’s on fire because it’s really pumping, man.
807
00:35:12,980 –> 00:35:14,340
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s on it’s hot.
808
00:35:14,820 –> 00:35:16,180
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s the last person I want.
809
00:35:16,180 –> 00:35:17,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Somebody put it out.
810
00:35:17,860 –> 00:35:19,540
Coach Jim Clayton: I need a fire lighter
811
00:35:19,820 –> 00:35:20,300
Randy Black: Yeah.
812
00:35:20,300 –> 00:35:21,900
Coach Jim Clayton: And and guess what?
813
00:35:21,900 –> 00:35:23,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Most people don’t have those.
814
00:35:23,420 –> 00:35:27,900
Randy Black: Well and you know, kind of sliding into our our next quote, you know, it’s
815
00:35:28,160 –> 00:35:28,560
Randy Black: From J.
816
00:35:28,560 –> 00:35:28,720
Randy Black: K.
817
00:35:28,800 –> 00:35:29,280
Randy Black: Rowling.
818
00:35:29,280 –> 00:35:29,520
Randy Black: J.
819
00:35:29,520 –> 00:35:29,680
Randy Black: K.
820
00:35:29,680 –> 00:35:32,320
Randy Black: Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books.
821
00:35:32,320 –> 00:35:36,960
Randy Black: Um, you know, she she gave a um a speech at Harvard.
822
00:35:36,960 –> 00:35:39,360
Randy Black: It was a 2008 Harvard commencement address.
823
00:35:39,460 –> 00:35:48,580
Randy Black: And, you know, in her life, before those books came out, before those Harry Potter books came out, she faced major financial problems in her life.
824
00:35:48,580 –> 00:35:50,260
Randy Black: She was struggling emotionally.
825
00:35:50,260 –> 00:35:52,500
Randy Black: Her mental health was not very good.
826
00:35:52,500 –> 00:35:52,820
Randy Black: But
827
00:35:53,940 –> 00:35:58,020
Randy Black: She finally hit success because she kept at things.
828
00:35:58,020 –> 00:36:06,660
Randy Black: And the quote she said here was that rock bottom becomes the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life
829
00:36:07,060 –> 00:36:13,380
Randy Black: Sometimes you have to let people, you have to let yourself hit that rock bottom.
830
00:36:13,380 –> 00:36:14,420
Randy Black: If you don’t
831
00:36:14,760 –> 00:36:18,040
Randy Black: You’re never gonna know what real failure is.
832
00:36:18,040 –> 00:36:24,840
Coach Jim Clayton: See, so when things hit Roc Bomb, man, I’m on the down and out, man.
833
00:36:24,840 –> 00:36:25,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
834
00:36:25,400 –> 00:36:26,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Well guess what?
835
00:36:26,740 –> 00:36:30,740
Coach Jim Clayton: The flip side of that is, hey, there’s nowhere to go but out.
836
00:36:30,740 –> 00:36:31,620
Randy Black: Exactly.
837
00:36:31,620 –> 00:36:33,860
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s a different mentality, see?
838
00:36:33,860 –> 00:36:36,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Not like, oh man, I’m I’m so pitiful.
839
00:36:37,220 –> 00:36:39,700
Coach Jim Clayton: You can’t be pitiful and powerful at the same time
840
00:36:39,559 –> 00:36:40,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Nowhere to go but up.
841
00:36:40,760 –> 00:36:42,839
Coach Jim Clayton: But you know what funny thing was?
842
00:36:42,839 –> 00:36:44,520
Coach Jim Clayton: She is also successful.
843
00:36:44,520 –> 00:36:48,119
Coach Jim Clayton: Movies, books, multi-cazillionaire, right?
844
00:36:47,940 –> 00:36:54,180
Coach Jim Clayton: But recently she made a she she stepped out of that comfort zone and made a statement, you know what I mean, about some.
845
00:36:54,180 –> 00:36:55,300
Coach Jim Clayton: I can’t remember what it was exactly.
846
00:36:56,579 –> 00:36:58,420
Randy Black: She made some comments uh that
847
00:36:59,560 –> 00:37:02,680
Randy Black: Fired up people in the the transgender community.
848
00:37:02,680 –> 00:37:03,080
Randy Black: Okay.
849
00:37:03,080 –> 00:37:04,200
Randy Black: Um was what it was.
850
00:37:04,200 –> 00:37:08,840
Randy Black: And it it alienated a lot of people who had supported her work and stuff and they sought being on her side.
851
00:37:08,840 –> 00:37:09,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
852
00:37:09,160 –> 00:37:09,960
Coach Jim Clayton: But you know what?
853
00:37:09,960 –> 00:37:11,720
Coach Jim Clayton: She said what she had to say
854
00:37:11,760 –> 00:37:14,960
Coach Jim Clayton: She knew there was gonna be some some blowback on it, right?
855
00:37:14,960 –> 00:37:15,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
856
00:37:15,440 –> 00:37:17,120
Coach Jim Clayton: But she faced the fire.
857
00:37:17,120 –> 00:37:18,000
Randy Black: Yep.
858
00:37:18,000 –> 00:37:19,360
Coach Jim Clayton: She didn’t run from it.
859
00:37:19,360 –> 00:37:19,600
Randy Black: Nope.
860
00:37:19,600 –> 00:37:21,840
Randy Black: She has held she has held on to what she said.
861
00:37:21,840 –> 00:37:24,960
Randy Black: She’s supported her her decision to do so.
862
00:37:24,960 –> 00:37:25,280
Randy Black: And
863
00:37:25,359 –> 00:37:32,800
Randy Black: You know, she’s already said if it costs people reading my books or looking at the stuff I worked on, then I, you know, I’m I’m prepared for that.
864
00:37:32,800 –> 00:37:33,599
Coach Jim Clayton: And you know what?
865
00:37:33,599 –> 00:37:35,680
Coach Jim Clayton: Those weren’t really your true friends anyway.
866
00:37:35,680 –> 00:37:36,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
867
00:37:36,000 –> 00:37:39,760
Coach Jim Clayton: They were just the bandwagoneers that jumped on when everything was going right.
868
00:37:40,240 –> 00:37:42,000
Coach Jim Clayton: They were there for the ride.
869
00:37:42,000 –> 00:37:42,320
Randy Black: Yeah.
870
00:37:42,320 –> 00:37:42,640
Randy Black: Okay?
871
00:37:42,720 –> 00:37:44,320
Coach Jim Clayton: They weren’t there for the right reasons.
872
00:37:44,320 –> 00:37:46,560
Coach Jim Clayton: So it’s easy for you to jump off.
873
00:37:46,500 –> 00:37:50,580
Coach Jim Clayton: If you’re very for the right reasons, you’re not jumping off.
874
00:37:51,300 –> 00:37:53,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, it’s like nope.
875
00:37:53,700 –> 00:37:56,180
Coach Jim Clayton: See, I I applaud her for that.
876
00:37:55,960 –> 00:37:57,000
Coach Jim Clayton: She wasn’t scared.
877
00:37:57,000 –> 00:38:00,600
Coach Jim Clayton: Now she could have goes, well, if I say that, then you know what?
878
00:38:00,600 –> 00:38:01,800
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m gonna have blowback.
879
00:38:01,800 –> 00:38:02,760
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s gonna cost.
880
00:38:02,760 –> 00:38:04,600
Coach Jim Clayton: No, she knew it.
881
00:38:04,600 –> 00:38:07,080
Coach Jim Clayton: But she felt like she had to say what she had to say.
882
00:38:07,080 –> 00:38:07,400
Randy Black: Right.
883
00:38:07,400 –> 00:38:09,080
Coach Jim Clayton: Now that’s her opinion
884
00:38:09,220 –> 00:38:10,819
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s not everybody’s opinion.
885
00:38:10,819 –> 00:38:11,220
Randy Black: Right.
886
00:38:11,220 –> 00:38:12,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Everybody’s got an opinion.
887
00:38:12,500 –> 00:38:15,220
Coach Jim Clayton: That don’t mean I got a blue I don’t have to agree with you.
888
00:38:15,220 –> 00:38:15,460
Randy Black: Right.
889
00:38:15,539 –> 00:38:17,539
Coach Jim Clayton: That don’t mean I don’t like you.
890
00:38:17,900 –> 00:38:20,220
Coach Jim Clayton: I just don’t agree with you on that situation.
891
00:38:20,220 –> 00:38:20,860
Randy Black: Exactly.
892
00:38:20,860 –> 00:38:23,020
Coach Jim Clayton: And that happens, what, every day in life?
893
00:38:23,020 –> 00:38:23,740
Randy Black: Every single day.
894
00:38:23,900 –> 00:38:24,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Every day.
895
00:38:24,460 –> 00:38:25,340
Coach Jim Clayton: How many times?
896
00:38:25,340 –> 00:38:27,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh my gosh, too many to count.
897
00:38:27,020 –> 00:38:27,660
Randy Black: Exactly.
898
00:38:27,660 –> 00:38:29,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, but I mean, there you go.
899
00:38:29,500 –> 00:38:32,220
Coach Jim Clayton: But again, she stayed with something.
900
00:38:32,380 –> 00:38:34,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Things didn’t go the way they wanted.
901
00:38:34,940 –> 00:38:36,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Tried, didn’t work.
902
00:38:36,140 –> 00:38:36,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Try didn’t work.
903
00:38:36,940 –> 00:38:37,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Try didn’t work.
904
00:38:37,900 –> 00:38:39,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Just keep sinking.
905
00:38:39,500 –> 00:38:40,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Sinking.
906
00:38:40,220 –> 00:38:42,700
Coach Jim Clayton: And bam, you hit the bottom
907
00:38:43,060 –> 00:38:49,300
Randy Black: And it’s you know it’s it’s the idea that failure is the failure here, this this rock bottom here isn’t an end.
908
00:38:49,300 –> 00:38:50,340
Randy Black: No, it’s a beginning.
909
00:38:50,340 –> 00:38:50,900
Randy Black: It’s a beginning.
910
00:38:50,900 –> 00:38:51,860
Randy Black: It’s the starting point.
911
00:38:51,860 –> 00:38:52,820
Randy Black: Fresh start.
912
00:38:52,820 –> 00:38:53,460
Randy Black: Exactly.
913
00:38:53,860 –> 00:38:55,460
Coach Jim Clayton: I always said failure
914
00:38:55,440 –> 00:38:58,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Is a better way to begin again, more intelligently.
915
00:38:58,880 –> 00:39:03,119
Coach Jim Clayton: Sometimes you jump into stuff, well, and that’s okay.
916
00:39:03,119 –> 00:39:06,960
Coach Jim Clayton: See, some people go, well, it’s just not the right time for me to do this.
917
00:39:06,960 –> 00:39:08,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, guess what?
918
00:39:08,520 –> 00:39:11,480
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s never gonna be the right time with an attitude like that.
919
00:39:11,560 –> 00:39:13,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Get in there and go.
920
00:39:13,560 –> 00:39:16,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Example, 33 years later, my sports business.
921
00:39:17,079 –> 00:39:21,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Am I doing the same thing now that I did 33 years ago
922
00:39:21,660 –> 00:39:24,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Absolutely not.
923
00:39:24,380 –> 00:39:25,740
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ve grown.
924
00:39:26,380 –> 00:39:28,060
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ve developed.
925
00:39:28,060 –> 00:39:29,580
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ve researched.
926
00:39:29,580 –> 00:39:31,340
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, I’ve done all these things.
927
00:39:31,340 –> 00:39:32,940
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ve used my imagination.
928
00:39:32,940 –> 00:39:34,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Three o’clock in the morning.
929
00:39:34,220 –> 00:39:34,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Wake up.
930
00:39:35,440 –> 00:39:36,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Whoa!
931
00:39:36,320 –> 00:39:38,079
Coach Jim Clayton: Imagination is the key to everything.
932
00:39:38,079 –> 00:39:38,480
Randy Black: Oh yeah.
933
00:39:38,480 –> 00:39:40,880
Randy Black: So it’s it’s kind of you know it’s in my notes here.
934
00:39:40,880 –> 00:39:42,480
Randy Black: It says, you know, I’ve got something written down there.
935
00:39:42,480 –> 00:39:48,000
Randy Black: It’s like the idea of imagination, resilience, reinvention, you know, creativity
936
00:39:49,440 –> 00:39:50,640
Randy Black: Here’s what my notes say.
937
00:39:50,640 –> 00:39:55,120
Randy Black: Creativity can help people see beyond current circumstances.
938
00:39:55,120 –> 00:39:58,160
Randy Black: Imagination opens doors.
939
00:39:58,140 –> 00:40:00,299
Randy Black: That resilience can walk through.
940
00:40:00,299 –> 00:40:01,180
Randy Black: Oh, I love that.
941
00:40:01,180 –> 00:40:02,619
Randy Black: And that that is beautiful.
942
00:40:02,619 –> 00:40:05,740
Randy Black: And I mean her her example her quote here talking about being at rock bottom, J.
943
00:40:05,740 –> 00:40:05,900
Randy Black: K.
944
00:40:05,900 –> 00:40:08,539
Randy Black: Rowling’s career, perfect example of this.
945
00:40:08,340 –> 00:40:12,980
Randy Black: You know, you technically could have said when they came to you and said, yeah, we’re out.
946
00:40:12,980 –> 00:40:14,340
Randy Black: That was a bat was the bottom.
947
00:40:14,500 –> 00:40:16,020
Randy Black: I could have said, I’m out too.
948
00:40:16,020 –> 00:40:16,900
Randy Black: Exactly.
949
00:40:16,559 –> 00:40:19,359
Randy Black: But you used it to turn things the other direction.
950
00:40:19,359 –> 00:40:21,440
Randy Black: And used it to keep building and keep growing.
951
00:40:23,920 –> 00:40:25,279
Coach Jim Clayton: Excuse me.
952
00:40:25,279 –> 00:40:27,279
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, when imagination
953
00:40:28,420 –> 00:40:34,579
Coach Jim Clayton: Creativity become the best when things are going your way when you’re at rock bottom.
954
00:40:34,579 –> 00:40:35,140
Randy Black: Because
955
00:40:35,460 –> 00:40:36,980
Randy Black: All of your illusions have disappeared.
956
00:40:37,140 –> 00:40:37,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Yep, all of them.
957
00:40:37,940 –> 00:40:40,180
Coach Jim Clayton: So now you’re going, what can I change?
958
00:40:40,180 –> 00:40:41,380
Coach Jim Clayton: What can I need to do?
959
00:40:41,380 –> 00:40:43,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh man, I got the answer.
960
00:40:43,380 –> 00:40:44,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Write it down.
961
00:40:44,740 –> 00:40:45,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
962
00:40:45,380 –> 00:40:47,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Then put a plan together
963
00:40:47,359 –> 00:40:48,240
Coach Jim Clayton: and make it work.
964
00:40:48,240 –> 00:40:48,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
965
00:40:48,560 –> 00:40:55,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Don’t ask people for their opinions ’cause the worst thing big minded people can do
966
00:40:55,160 –> 00:40:57,160
Coach Jim Clayton: And share it with small-minded people.
967
00:40:57,160 –> 00:40:58,600
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re gonna shoot it down.
968
00:40:58,600 –> 00:40:59,800
Coach Jim Clayton: No, that ain’t gonna work.
969
00:41:01,160 –> 00:41:04,040
Coach Jim Clayton: I’ve heard that so many times, oh my God.
970
00:41:04,040 –> 00:41:05,800
Coach Jim Clayton: But now they don’t say that.
971
00:41:05,800 –> 00:41:08,040
Coach Jim Clayton: They go, oh, I knew you could do it
972
00:41:08,480 –> 00:41:09,920
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh yeah.
973
00:41:09,920 –> 00:41:11,840
Coach Jim Clayton: I go well thank you very much.
974
00:41:11,840 –> 00:41:15,440
Coach Jim Clayton: But I know that not what they I I already know the answer to what to deal with.
975
00:41:15,440 –> 00:41:17,040
Coach Jim Clayton: But I’m I’m gonna say thank you very much.
976
00:41:17,040 –> 00:41:18,240
Randy Black: I appreciate that.
977
00:41:18,560 –> 00:41:20,800
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, but you know that again
978
00:41:21,380 –> 00:41:25,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Creativity that takes you up way above.
979
00:41:25,940 –> 00:41:27,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Imagination.
980
00:41:27,380 –> 00:41:28,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Woo!
981
00:41:28,700 –> 00:41:30,220
Coach Jim Clayton: You gotta imagine stuff.
982
00:41:30,780 –> 00:41:35,099
Coach Jim Clayton: See, because imagination sometimes can get confused with dreams.
983
00:41:35,099 –> 00:41:37,579
Coach Jim Clayton: Because dreams are in your subconscious.
984
00:41:38,300 –> 00:41:39,420
Coach Jim Clayton: So they’re not real.
985
00:41:39,420 –> 00:41:39,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
986
00:41:39,740 –> 00:41:41,980
Coach Jim Clayton: And they can turn out any way you want.
987
00:41:41,580 –> 00:41:44,540
Coach Jim Clayton: But see your imagination goes, man, what if?
988
00:41:44,540 –> 00:41:45,900
Coach Jim Clayton: What if?
989
00:41:45,900 –> 00:41:47,820
Coach Jim Clayton: What if I did this?
990
00:41:47,820 –> 00:41:48,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Woo!
991
00:41:48,460 –> 00:41:50,060
Coach Jim Clayton: It could turn into this.
992
00:41:50,060 –> 00:41:51,820
Coach Jim Clayton: It could bounce over to here.
993
00:41:51,820 –> 00:41:53,820
Coach Jim Clayton: What if I did nothing?
994
00:41:53,700 –> 00:41:55,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, nothing from nothing.
995
00:41:55,860 –> 00:41:56,420
Randy Black: Makes nothing.
996
00:41:56,580 –> 00:41:57,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Leaves nothing.
997
00:41:57,540 –> 00:41:57,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Yep.
998
00:41:57,940 –> 00:42:05,460
Coach Jim Clayton: And then here comes somebody, like you said, that don’t give up and bounces back and they go right across the finish line.
999
00:42:05,460 –> 00:42:06,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Yep
1000
00:42:06,780 –> 00:42:08,300
Coach Jim Clayton: And that’s how it works.
1001
00:42:09,020 –> 00:42:12,460
Coach Jim Clayton: And you don’t ever know all the time when it’s going to work.
1002
00:42:13,100 –> 00:42:15,740
Coach Jim Clayton: You don’t know when it’s going to be the big day.
1003
00:42:16,539 –> 00:42:18,299
Coach Jim Clayton: But you just keep what?
1004
00:42:18,299 –> 00:42:19,819
Coach Jim Clayton: You keep pushing on.
1005
00:42:19,819 –> 00:42:20,299
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
1006
00:42:20,299 –> 00:42:21,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Keep pushing on.
1007
00:42:21,420 –> 00:42:22,539
Coach Jim Clayton: You keep pushing on.
1008
00:42:22,539 –> 00:42:27,260
Randy Black: Well, and that, you know, that helps us lead in to to quote number five here on our list
1009
00:42:27,200 –> 00:42:28,560
Randy Black: Elizabeth Edwards.
1010
00:42:28,560 –> 00:42:31,920
Randy Black: She was an attorney, an author, healthcare activist.
1011
00:42:31,920 –> 00:42:35,119
Randy Black: She’s the was, uh she passed away in 2010.
1012
00:42:35,119 –> 00:42:36,400
Randy Black: She was the wife of former U.
1013
00:42:36,400 –> 00:42:36,640
Randy Black: S.
1014
00:42:36,640 –> 00:42:38,400
Randy Black: Senator John Edwards.
1015
00:42:38,320 –> 00:42:47,680
Randy Black: And she kinda got pulled to prominence while he was running for the vice presidency of the United States, um, and also was put under some
1016
00:42:48,059 –> 00:42:58,539
Randy Black: Pretty intense public scrutiny scrutiny uh for some decisions and things he had made in his life, his personal life, uh, as well as the illness she was facing.
1017
00:42:58,200 –> 00:43:01,160
Randy Black: So she had a very, very long battle with cancer.
1018
00:43:01,160 –> 00:43:06,520
Randy Black: Uh, and her husband had a very, very public scandal about some infidelity.
1019
00:43:06,520 –> 00:43:13,160
Randy Black: And she, in her own book, talked about it and she reframed resilience.
1020
00:43:12,680 –> 00:43:17,240
Randy Black: as adaptation rather than in r rather than as resistance.
1021
00:43:17,240 –> 00:43:27,160
Randy Black: And her quote says, She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails.
1022
00:43:26,260 –> 00:43:32,260
Randy Black: So it’s all about changing direction rather than pushing through.
1023
00:43:32,260 –> 00:43:33,780
Randy Black: She adapted.
1024
00:43:34,180 –> 00:43:36,420
Randy Black: It’s the idea that persistence
1025
00:43:37,020 –> 00:43:47,420
Randy Black: um sometimes can turn into stubbornness, but wisdom is knowing when to see that happening and to adjust to it
1026
00:43:48,360 –> 00:43:49,480
Coach Jim Clayton: 100%.
1027
00:43:49,480 –> 00:43:53,880
Coach Jim Clayton: I always tell people, I tell you this today, it’s all a game of adjustment.
1028
00:43:53,880 –> 00:43:56,120
Coach Jim Clayton: Life is really about one thing.
1029
00:43:56,120 –> 00:43:57,800
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s like basketball.
1030
00:43:58,020 –> 00:43:59,619
Coach Jim Clayton: What am I going to do next?
1031
00:44:00,339 –> 00:44:04,579
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so if they throw you the ball, what are you going to do?
1032
00:44:04,579 –> 00:44:10,420
Coach Jim Clayton: If you grab it and throw it over to here to Johnny, what are you going to do after you throw it to him?
1033
00:44:10,320 –> 00:44:13,040
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re gonna stand there, or you’re gonna go do something else.
1034
00:44:13,040 –> 00:44:14,960
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re gonna make a cut, you’re gonna screen away.
1035
00:44:14,960 –> 00:44:16,320
Coach Jim Clayton: What are you gonna do?
1036
00:44:16,320 –> 00:44:16,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1037
00:44:16,960 –> 00:44:19,280
Coach Jim Clayton: So you adapt to the situation.
1038
00:44:19,280 –> 00:44:21,200
Coach Jim Clayton: You don’t let it drown you.
1039
00:44:21,200 –> 00:44:24,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Or don’t let you don’t let it sink your boat.
1040
00:44:24,220 –> 00:44:25,180
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
1041
00:44:25,180 –> 00:44:25,660
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1042
00:44:25,660 –> 00:44:28,059
Coach Jim Clayton: And that’s what happens with people that can’t adjust.
1043
00:44:31,339 –> 00:44:32,619
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh man.
1044
00:44:32,460 –> 00:44:34,060
Coach Jim Clayton: 100,000%.
1045
00:44:34,060 –> 00:44:35,820
Randy Black: It allows you to adapt.
1046
00:44:35,820 –> 00:44:37,740
Randy Black: It allows you to survive.
1047
00:44:37,740 –> 00:44:39,660
Randy Black: It allows you to make progress.
1048
00:44:39,660 –> 00:44:40,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Absolutely.
1049
00:44:40,380 –> 00:44:42,300
Coach Jim Clayton: And you know, in the sports industry.
1050
00:44:42,160 –> 00:44:47,120
Coach Jim Clayton: People that are more flexible, when they get a minor injury, they recover way quicker.
1051
00:44:47,120 –> 00:44:47,600
Randy Black: They do.
1052
00:44:47,600 –> 00:44:53,440
Coach Jim Clayton: So you could take that same analogy and put it right into everybody’s daily life.
1053
00:44:52,940 –> 00:44:59,260
Coach Jim Clayton: When somebody something don’t go your way, when life throws you that little curvebone, what are you gonna do?
1054
00:44:59,260 –> 00:45:00,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Run out of the box
1055
00:45:01,140 –> 00:45:05,380
Coach Jim Clayton: No, you’re gonna stand there and wait on it when it breaks in, you’re gonna knock it out of the park.
1056
00:45:05,380 –> 00:45:05,940
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1057
00:45:05,940 –> 00:45:08,099
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s what the best hitters do.
1058
00:45:08,099 –> 00:45:10,980
Coach Jim Clayton: You see, but again, flexibility.
1059
00:45:10,980 –> 00:45:12,740
Coach Jim Clayton: What’d you keep word there?
1060
00:45:13,620 –> 00:45:14,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Power.
1061
00:45:14,420 –> 00:45:18,500
Coach Jim Clayton: We have the fi see, we all have that survival mode in us.
1062
00:45:18,500 –> 00:45:20,820
Coach Jim Clayton: But I like what she said.
1063
00:45:20,720 –> 00:45:23,520
Coach Jim Clayton: About resilience, okay, then resistance.
1064
00:45:23,520 –> 00:45:25,119
Coach Jim Clayton: Some people resist change.
1065
00:45:25,119 –> 00:45:25,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
1066
00:45:25,760 –> 00:45:26,640
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re fighting.
1067
00:45:26,640 –> 00:45:28,400
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s like going against the current.
1068
00:45:28,400 –> 00:45:29,119
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
1069
00:45:29,119 –> 00:45:30,160
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re not gonna win.
1070
00:45:30,160 –> 00:45:31,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Gravity’s gonna win.
1071
00:45:32,539 –> 00:45:33,579
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s gonna win.
1072
00:45:33,819 –> 00:45:36,940
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s better that you go with it instead of against it.
1073
00:45:37,579 –> 00:45:38,220
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1074
00:45:38,220 –> 00:45:43,099
Coach Jim Clayton: But she adapts, has the ability to adapt instead of resist
1075
00:45:43,940 –> 00:45:46,980
Coach Jim Clayton: There’s the there’s the kicker to the deal.
1076
00:45:46,980 –> 00:45:52,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Can you adapt to the situation, not go, well I’ve done it this way every day.
1077
00:45:52,080 –> 00:45:52,800
Coach Jim Clayton: You know what I mean?
1078
00:45:52,800 –> 00:45:55,920
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s my way or the highway, the old General Patton mentality.
1079
00:45:56,000 –> 00:45:58,240
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m not changing I’m not gonna do any new thing.
1080
00:46:00,040 –> 00:46:06,680
Coach Jim Clayton: That reminds me a lot of of like when we used to go to those teacher meetings and they’d have somebody uh teach us some new strategies.
1081
00:46:06,680 –> 00:46:07,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
1082
00:46:07,400 –> 00:46:09,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Well, hey, I’m game
1083
00:46:10,760 –> 00:46:16,360
Coach Jim Clayton: Some of them’s teach been teaching for 30 years back, I ain’t doing that shit, man.
1084
00:46:16,600 –> 00:46:17,240
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s a waste of time.
1085
00:46:17,240 –> 00:46:17,960
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m doing it about what
1086
00:46:19,780 –> 00:46:22,100
Coach Jim Clayton: And you know what they are a lot of times?
1087
00:46:22,420 –> 00:46:24,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Boring.
1088
00:46:24,980 –> 00:46:28,420
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re just talk and you write.
1089
00:46:28,100 –> 00:46:30,020
Coach Jim Clayton: That ain’t how everybody learns.
1090
00:46:30,020 –> 00:46:30,980
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
1091
00:46:30,980 –> 00:46:31,780
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
1092
00:46:31,780 –> 00:46:33,620
Coach Jim Clayton: So I’m on interesting.
1093
00:46:33,620 –> 00:46:35,540
Coach Jim Clayton: So I’ll try some new things.
1094
00:46:35,540 –> 00:46:36,980
Coach Jim Clayton: I didn’t like some.
1095
00:46:36,980 –> 00:46:38,820
Coach Jim Clayton: But then there were some I liked
1096
00:46:39,539 –> 00:46:44,579
Coach Jim Clayton: I used them, but I’d have never used that if somebody hadn’t taught me that and shared that with me.
1097
00:46:44,579 –> 00:46:46,260
Coach Jim Clayton: But I had an open mindset
1098
00:46:47,059 –> 00:46:49,859
Coach Jim Clayton: And I taught for a lot over three decades.
1099
00:46:49,859 –> 00:46:50,579
Randy Black: Yes.
1100
00:46:50,579 –> 00:46:52,339
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s a long time.
1101
00:46:52,339 –> 00:46:59,779
Coach Jim Clayton: And, you know, but again, that when you have the ability to adapt, you can become powerful
1102
00:47:00,640 –> 00:47:07,840
Coach Jim Clayton: Little things that would knock people off their feet don’t knock you down, baby, because you’re standing sturdy as a rock.
1103
00:47:07,840 –> 00:47:08,640
Randy Black: Yes.
1104
00:47:08,640 –> 00:47:12,080
Coach Jim Clayton: And you see, everybody has the ability to do that.
1105
00:47:12,320 –> 00:47:15,520
Coach Jim Clayton: It don’t make how big you are.
1106
00:47:15,520 –> 00:47:15,920
Randy Black: Right.
1107
00:47:15,920 –> 00:47:18,160
Coach Jim Clayton: It ain’t how big yards how big you pluck.
1108
00:47:18,160 –> 00:47:18,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
1109
00:47:18,880 –> 00:47:21,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, so I don’t care if you’re five foot one
1110
00:47:21,100 –> 00:47:22,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Or six foot one.
1111
00:47:22,300 –> 00:47:27,020
Coach Jim Clayton: If the six foot one plays aggressively, I’ll take the five foot over the six foot anytime you want to go around.
1112
00:47:27,420 –> 00:47:29,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Holmes, perfect example
1113
00:47:29,640 –> 00:47:30,920
Randy Black: Muggsy Bugs.
1114
00:47:30,920 –> 00:47:31,960
Randy Black: Classic example.
1115
00:47:31,960 –> 00:47:32,520
Randy Black: What was he?
1116
00:47:32,520 –> 00:47:33,319
Randy Black: 5’4?
1117
00:47:33,319 –> 00:47:35,720
Randy Black: Oh, shortest player in the history of the NBA.
1118
00:47:36,839 –> 00:47:37,480
Randy Black: But he was good.
1119
00:47:37,480 –> 00:47:38,520
Randy Black: He was talented.
1120
00:47:38,520 –> 00:47:41,559
Randy Black: And he had the heart to be out there and do his best.
1121
00:47:41,559 –> 00:47:42,760

Coach Jim Clayton: Yes, he did.
1124
00:47:45,119 –> 00:47:46,799
Coach Jim Clayton: But a lot of people wrote him off.
1125
00:47:46,799 –> 00:47:47,520
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
1126
00:47:47,520 –> 00:47:50,640
Coach Jim Clayton: And they do that in basketball now with smaller players
1127
00:47:50,460 –> 00:47:53,500
Coach Jim Clayton: And I I know some smaller players that just can take it to everybody.
1128
00:47:53,900 –> 00:47:55,500
Coach Jim Clayton: But they already get what?
1129
00:47:55,500 –> 00:47:57,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Identified by somebody
1130
00:47:58,720 –> 00:48:00,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Who is that somebody?
1131
00:48:00,400 –> 00:48:04,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Where did you get a degree in expertity of this deal?
1132
00:48:04,000 –> 00:48:05,680
Coach Jim Clayton: There ain’t no degree in expert.
1133
00:48:05,680 –> 00:48:06,319
Randy Black: Yeah.
1134
00:48:06,820 –> 00:48:09,460
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, it’s like somebody said, well, I got a PhD.
1135
00:48:09,460 –> 00:48:10,580

Coach Jim Clayton: That’s the pat that’s the PhD I want.
1144
00:48:22,140 –> 00:48:25,980
Coach Jim Clayton: I don’t want some sheet of paper that says, oh, I took some classes.
1145
00:48:25,980 –> 00:48:27,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Anybody can do that.
1146
00:48:27,500 –> 00:48:28,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
1147
00:48:28,820 –> 00:48:34,340
Coach Jim Clayton: But how many people who have that piece of paper have that passion, that heart, and that desire?
1148
00:48:34,340 –> 00:48:35,300
Randy Black: Exactly.
1149
00:48:35,300 –> 00:48:36,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Not a lot.
1150
00:48:36,100 –> 00:48:36,900

1151
00:48:36,900 –> 00:48:38,740
Coach Jim Clayton: But call me doctor.

00:48:38,700 –> 00:48:40,620
Coach Jim Clayton: You call me the shop doctor.

00:48:40,620 –> 00:48:41,340
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1154
00:48:41,340 –> 00:48:43,260
Coach Jim Clayton: I didn’t go to med school for that.
1155
00:48:43,260 –> 00:48:43,820
Randy Black: Right.
1156
00:48:43,820 –> 00:48:44,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1157
00:48:44,380 –> 00:48:45,660
Coach Jim Clayton: I learned it.
1158
00:48:45,660 –> 00:48:47,900
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, right out here.

Coach Jim Clayton: imagining new things, putting them in play, setting a plan, going to get them.
1161
00:48:56,660 –> 00:48:58,500
Coach Jim Clayton: And anybody can do it.
1162
00:48:58,660 –> 00:49:03,619
Coach Jim Clayton: I mean, I I I always I always say, if I can do it, oh my God
1163
00:49:04,200 –> 00:49:05,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Anybody can do it.
1164
00:49:05,400 –> 00:49:05,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
1165
00:49:05,960 –> 00:49:09,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay, I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to certain things.
1166
00:49:09,640 –> 00:49:12,040
Coach Jim Clayton: But there are certain things I do know a little bit about.
1167
00:49:12,040 –> 00:49:12,440
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
1168
00:49:12,440 –> 00:49:13,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh we we all we all do.
1169
00:49:13,960 –> 00:49:16,360
Coach Jim Clayton: And that’s my lane, and guess what?
1170
00:49:16,360 –> 00:49:17,640
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m staying in it.
1171
00:49:20,220 –> 00:49:27,500
Randy Black: Okay, Jim, we’ve made it through five of these ten quotes that I picked out, and we’re at almost an hour, so I think we’re gonna split this episode
1172
00:49:27,840 –> 00:49:28,480
Randy Black: into two.
1173
00:49:28,480 –> 00:49:34,640
Randy Black: So, you know, we’ve kind of taken the time here to talk about, you know, that foundation of resilience with those first two quotes.
1174
00:49:34,640 –> 00:49:35,760
Randy Black: We’ve talked about
1175
00:49:35,960 –> 00:49:39,000
Randy Black: you know, weathering the storm here with those next three.
1176
00:49:39,000 –> 00:49:45,160
Randy Black: Um so before we, you know, head into our next set and we’ll do those on the next episode, we do have
1177
00:49:45,820 –> 00:49:53,180
Randy Black: one of those times where we get one of those great quotes that get shared here on the show and everybody knows that that segment is
1178
00:49:53,920 –> 00:49:57,760
Randy Black: Jimmy’s Wisdom of the Week.
1179
00:49:57,760 –> 00:50:01,200
Cheesy Announcer Guy: Now it’s time for Jimmy’s Wisdom of the Week.
1180
00:50:01,200 –> 00:50:07,600
Cheesy Announcer Guy: This is where Jimmy shares one of his famous Jimmy isms to inspire the listener.
1181
00:50:07,600 –> 00:50:08,400
Randy Black: Okay, Jim, so
1182
00:50:08,760 –> 00:50:11,800
Randy Black: Today’s wisdom of the week, this is the quote you gave me.
1183
00:50:11,800 –> 00:50:16,840
Randy Black: It says, easy times make soft people.
1184
00:50:16,940 –> 00:50:18,859
Randy Black: What in the world does that mean?
1185
00:50:18,859 –> 00:50:24,140
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh man, when we when we’re easy on ourselves, then when things get bad, we crumble.
1186
00:50:24,140 –> 00:50:25,180
Coach Jim Clayton: We’re soft.
1187
00:50:25,180 –> 00:50:25,980
Coach Jim Clayton: We give up.
1188
00:50:25,980 –> 00:50:29,579
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s kind of like pushing uh a marshmallow up
1189
00:50:29,559 –> 00:50:33,079
Coach Jim Clayton: You push it in, ooh, see here it goes in real soft.
1190
00:50:33,079 –> 00:50:34,039
Coach Jim Clayton: Ain’t no hardness.
1191
00:50:34,359 –> 00:50:37,400
Coach Jim Clayton: They don’t have that those abs of steel right there, see?
1192
00:50:37,640 –> 00:50:39,160
Coach Jim Clayton: Because they didn’t work to get them.
1193
00:50:39,160 –> 00:50:39,720
Randy Black: Right.
1194
00:50:39,720 –> 00:50:43,000
Coach Jim Clayton: And so when you’re easy, when things come easy
1195
00:50:43,220 –> 00:50:44,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Everybody’s good.
1196
00:50:44,500 –> 00:50:46,740
Coach Jim Clayton: Everybody’s good when everything’s easy.
1197
00:50:46,740 –> 00:50:47,859
Coach Jim Clayton: Right.
1198
00:50:48,180 –> 00:50:50,579
Coach Jim Clayton: But what happens when the crap hits the fan?
1199
00:50:50,660 –> 00:50:51,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh, yeah.
1200
00:50:51,460 –> 00:50:55,539
Coach Jim Clayton: That separates the pretenders from the contenders.
1201
00:50:55,539 –> 00:50:56,339
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
1202
00:50:56,340 –> 00:50:58,420
Coach Jim Clayton: And that’s exactly what that means to me.
1203
00:50:58,420 –> 00:51:00,020
Coach Jim Clayton: I’m not interested in soft people.
1204
00:51:00,340 –> 00:51:02,420
Coach Jim Clayton: Now that doesn’t mean you don’t have a heart.
1205
00:51:02,420 –> 00:51:04,740
Coach Jim Clayton: That don’t mean you have an attitude of gratitude.
1206
00:51:05,380 –> 00:51:06,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1207
00:51:06,020 –> 00:51:08,500
Coach Jim Clayton: Because I don’t care who you are and what you did.
1208
00:51:08,500 –> 00:51:10,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Somebody helped you get there.
1209
00:51:10,100 –> 00:51:10,980
Randy Black: Right.
1210
00:51:11,560 –> 00:51:13,800
Coach Jim Clayton: Some idea.
1211
00:51:13,800 –> 00:51:16,360
Coach Jim Clayton: And those are blessings in your life.
1212
00:51:16,360 –> 00:51:17,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
1213
00:51:17,240 –> 00:51:18,440
Coach Jim Clayton: I believe that
1214
00:51:18,740 –> 00:51:23,940
Coach Jim Clayton: When somebody calls you on the phone when they don’t need to call you to check on you, that’s a blessing.
1215
00:51:23,940 –> 00:51:24,500
Randy Black: Yes.
1216
00:51:24,500 –> 00:51:28,020
Coach Jim Clayton: When somebody shows up your house and brings you some food
1217
00:51:28,599 –> 00:51:29,800
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s a blessing.
1218
00:51:29,800 –> 00:51:30,520
Randy Black: Yes.
1219
00:51:30,520 –> 00:51:32,280
Coach Jim Clayton: So there’s all kinds of things.
1220
00:51:32,280 –> 00:51:35,880
Coach Jim Clayton: But the problem is soft people, guess what?
1221
00:51:35,880 –> 00:51:38,680
Coach Jim Clayton: They always see their problems instead of their blessings.
1222
00:51:38,680 –> 00:51:39,320
Randy Black: Right
1223
00:51:39,760 –> 00:51:43,920
Coach Jim Clayton: And you’re never gonna learn those things when everything’s going perfect for you.
1224
00:51:43,920 –> 00:51:44,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Mm-hmm.
1225
00:51:44,560 –> 00:51:46,320
Coach Jim Clayton: You’re just gonna stay right where you are.
1226
00:51:46,320 –> 00:51:47,040
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah.
1227
00:51:47,040 –> 00:51:48,240
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
1228
00:51:48,240 –> 00:51:50,960
Coach Jim Clayton: And when things get a little tough
1229
00:51:51,520 –> 00:51:52,880
Coach Jim Clayton: The tough get going.
1230
00:51:53,599 –> 00:51:54,880
Coach Jim Clayton: They don’t get soft.
1231
00:51:55,280 –> 00:51:56,320
Coach Jim Clayton: They get tougher.
1232
00:51:56,320 –> 00:51:57,200
Randy Black: Right.
1233
00:51:57,520 –> 00:52:03,599
Coach Jim Clayton: And you know, I mean it it’s it’s just like, yeah, I was watching the thing, I’ll give you a classic example
1234
00:52:03,820 –> 00:52:10,060
Coach Jim Clayton: I was watching a 30 for 30 this weekend on the 1985 Chicago Bears.
1235
00:52:10,060 –> 00:52:10,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay.
1236
00:52:10,620 –> 00:52:11,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Woo.
1237
00:52:11,100 –> 00:52:11,980
Coach Jim Clayton: World champs.
1238
00:52:11,980 –> 00:52:12,700
Coach Jim Clayton: Good team.
1239
00:52:13,260 –> 00:52:18,460
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s the only time in Super Bowl history.
1240
00:52:18,560 –> 00:52:22,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Where two coaches got carried off the field at the same time.
1241
00:52:22,400 –> 00:52:24,640
Coach Jim Clayton: The head coach and the defensive coach.
1242
00:52:25,120 –> 00:52:27,120
Coach Jim Clayton: And they’re talking about these guys.
1243
00:52:27,120 –> 00:52:29,360
Coach Jim Clayton: And I watched these guys.
1244
00:52:29,140 –> 00:52:31,380
Coach Jim Clayton: Four or five of them are in the Hall of Fame.
1245
00:52:31,380 –> 00:52:32,579
Coach Jim Clayton: Steve McMichael’s.
1246
00:52:32,579 –> 00:52:36,420
Coach Jim Clayton: He just passed away from but he was actually talking in this.
1247
00:52:36,420 –> 00:52:37,220
Randy Black: Yeah.
1248
00:52:37,220 –> 00:52:37,940
Coach Jim Clayton: And uh
1249
00:52:39,160 –> 00:52:46,600
Coach Jim Clayton: They said to they said on the show, man, if we played in today’s game, we would never make no money
1250
00:52:46,480 –> 00:52:51,920
Coach Jim Clayton: So Mike Dick would tell Buddy Ryan, Buddy, we’re all on the same team here.
1251
00:52:51,920 –> 00:52:55,039
Coach Jim Clayton: Your defense is killing us in practice.
1252
00:52:55,039 –> 00:52:56,559
Coach Jim Clayton: Because that’s when they used to hit.
1253
00:52:56,559 –> 00:52:57,200
Randy Black: Yes.
1254
00:52:57,200 –> 00:52:58,960
Coach Jim Clayton: Now they just walk through the motions.
1255
00:52:58,960 –> 00:53:01,359
Coach Jim Clayton: They only hit on Sunday.
1256
00:53:00,820 –> 00:53:01,540
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1257
00:53:01,540 –> 00:53:02,740
Coach Jim Clayton: That was back in the day.
1258
00:53:02,740 –> 00:53:06,100
Coach Jim Clayton: And I’m watching that and I’m going, man.
1259
00:53:06,100 –> 00:53:10,420
Coach Jim Clayton: And they said these guys said, if we would have only stuck together.
1260
00:53:10,420 –> 00:53:11,140
Randy Black: Mm-hmm.
1261
00:53:11,540 –> 00:53:13,780
Coach Jim Clayton: We could have won three or four in a row.
1262
00:53:13,780 –> 00:53:14,340
Randy Black: Yes.
1263
00:53:14,340 –> 00:53:16,980
Coach Jim Clayton: But see, you used the key word right there.
1264
00:53:16,980 –> 00:53:18,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Ego.
1265
00:53:18,020 –> 00:53:18,580
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1266
00:53:18,580 –> 00:53:20,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Things were going great for him.
1267
00:53:20,260 –> 00:53:21,860
Coach Jim Clayton: Everything was good.
1268
00:53:21,660 –> 00:53:27,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Until that guy from the Greenberry Packers picked up McMahon and threw him down and slammed him and he tore his shoulder up.
1269
00:53:27,820 –> 00:53:28,140
Randy Black: Yes.
1270
00:53:28,140 –> 00:53:29,660
Coach Jim Clayton: And that was the end of the deal.
1271
00:53:30,700 –> 00:53:31,020
Coach Jim Clayton: But
1272
00:53:31,540 –> 00:53:34,100
Coach Jim Clayton: You know, those aren’t easy times.
1273
00:53:34,100 –> 00:53:36,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Those guys went out and did all kinds of stuff.
1274
00:53:36,260 –> 00:53:40,100
Coach Jim Clayton: But their deal was you better bring it the next day on the field.
1275
00:53:40,100 –> 00:53:40,740
Randy Black: Yes.
1276
00:53:40,740 –> 00:53:42,660
Coach Jim Clayton: And they did every day.
1277
00:53:43,800 –> 00:53:44,920
Randy Black: They were tremendous teams.
1278
00:53:44,920 –> 00:53:45,480
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh my God.
1279
00:53:45,880 –> 00:53:48,680
Coach Jim Clayton: You watch them on TV hitting people.
1280
00:53:48,680 –> 00:53:49,640
Coach Jim Clayton: I was watching them.
1281
00:53:49,640 –> 00:53:52,040
Coach Jim Clayton: I was cringing on the count.
1282
00:53:51,700 –> 00:53:54,660
Coach Jim Clayton: I was going, oh, how does anybody get up from that?
1283
00:53:55,060 –> 00:54:01,140
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re pal driving you into the concrete with a little bit of astroturf on it.
1284
00:54:01,700 –> 00:54:02,180
Coach Jim Clayton: Wham
1285
00:54:02,300 –> 00:54:04,380
Coach Jim Clayton: And the pads and things they had back then.
1286
00:54:04,620 –> 00:54:05,420
Randy Black: Nothing like waiting.
1287
00:54:05,580 –> 00:54:07,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Oh no, no, no.
1288
00:54:07,020 –> 00:54:09,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Those aren’t soft times.
1289
00:54:09,500 –> 00:54:11,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Those are hard times.
1290
00:54:11,260 –> 00:54:12,220
Randy Black: Yes.
1291
00:54:12,020 –> 00:54:18,020
Coach Jim Clayton: And, you know, sometimes it takes that in life for you to really see your full potential.
1292
00:54:18,260 –> 00:54:23,619
Coach Jim Clayton: Because you don’t see it when everything’s going to great, because you just have a tendency to the same old, same old.
1293
00:54:23,160 –> 00:54:29,320
Coach Jim Clayton: And, you know, there’s an old saying that says, if you want to keep on getting what you’re getting, just keep on doing what you’re doing.
1294
00:54:29,640 –> 00:54:31,320
Coach Jim Clayton: Things don’t happen by chance.
1295
00:54:31,320 –> 00:54:34,440

1296
00:54:34,440 –> 00:54:36,920
Coach Jim Clayton: And you know what everybody’s doing?
1297
00:54:36,440 –> 00:54:38,520
Coach Jim Clayton: They’re running from the truth monster.
1298
00:54:38,520 –> 00:54:40,520
Coach Jim Clayton: The truth monster is chasing you down the road.
1299
00:54:40,680 –> 00:54:42,760
Coach Jim Clayton: Here’s a bitch, hands up, here they come.
1300
00:54:42,760 –> 00:54:43,400
Coach Jim Clayton: Ah!
1301
00:54:43,400 –> 00:54:46,040
Coach Jim Clayton: And you’re running because you can’t face the fire.
1302
00:54:46,040 –> 00:54:47,400
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s soft people.
1303
00:54:49,880 –> 00:54:51,880
Coach Jim Clayton: Easy times, softness.
1304
00:54:51,880 –> 00:54:54,119
Coach Jim Clayton: Tough times, topic.
1305
00:54:54,119 –> 00:54:56,440
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s when I think about those things right.
1306
00:54:56,440 –> 00:54:59,559
Coach Jim Clayton: That’s why it really scares me.
1307
00:54:59,900 –> 00:55:02,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Of what we’re doing to our young people today.
1308
00:55:02,460 –> 00:55:02,940
Randy Black: Yeah.
1309
00:55:02,940 –> 00:55:07,740
Coach Jim Clayton: We’re teaching them how to be marshmallows instead of iron.
1310
00:55:07,820 –> 00:55:09,180
Coach Jim Clayton: I always tell people, you know what?
1311
00:55:09,180 –> 00:55:10,700
Coach Jim Clayton: When you got good faith,
1312
00:55:10,660 –> 00:55:14,740
Coach Jim Clayton: And you got everything right, your character’s good, and everybody’s throwing crap at you.
1313
00:55:14,740 –> 00:55:20,020
Coach Jim Clayton: Just imagine you’re standing there with the things on the gladiators used to have, those big days when they’d run down through
1314
00:55:20,100 –> 00:55:21,940
Coach Jim Clayton: And everything’s just bouncing off you.
1315
00:55:21,940 –> 00:55:23,620
Coach Jim Clayton: Hit me with your best shot, baby.
1316
00:55:23,620 –> 00:55:26,900
Coach Jim Clayton: Bang, bang, bang, just bouncing off because you can’t touch this.
1317
00:55:27,540 –> 00:55:28,980
Coach Jim Clayton: You can’t touch this.
1318
00:55:28,980 –> 00:55:29,460
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1319
00:55:29,460 –> 00:55:34,100
Coach Jim Clayton: Because I’m stronger on the inside than I am on the outside of.
1320
00:55:34,560 –> 00:55:37,040
Coach Jim Clayton: That comes from what?
1321
00:55:37,040 –> 00:55:38,000
Coach Jim Clayton: Tough times.
1322
00:55:38,000 –> 00:55:38,320

1323
00:55:38,320 –> 00:55:39,840
Coach Jim Clayton: When things ain’t always going your way.
1324
00:55:40,080 –> 00:55:43,040
Randy Black: Not not allowing yourself to be soft.
1325
00:55:43,040 –> 00:55:46,720
Coach Jim Clayton: Yeah, and see, easy times are success times.
1326
00:55:46,780 –> 00:55:48,220
Coach Jim Clayton: You gotta pay attention to that.
1327
00:55:48,540 –> 00:55:49,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Because that’s a trap.
1328
00:55:50,540 –> 00:55:51,260
Coach Jim Clayton: Okay?
1329
00:55:51,260 –> 00:55:53,820
Coach Jim Clayton: Because success is a complacency disease.
1330
00:55:53,820 –> 00:55:54,300
Coach Jim Clayton: Yes.
1331
00:55:54,300 –> 00:55:55,100
Coach Jim Clayton: It’s a trap.
1332
00:55:55,100 –> 00:55:57,100

1333
00:55:57,200 –> 00:55:58,640

1337
00:56:03,040 –> 00:56:08,560
Coach Jim Clayton: Things are going to change, and you better learn to adapt to them just like all the things we talked about today.
1338
00:56:08,880 –> 00:56:13,200
Coach Jim Clayton: Or you’re gonna stay right where you are and you’re gonna hit that little thing.
1339
00:56:13,200 –> 00:56:16,880
Coach Jim Clayton: And up you’re gonna take that little marshmallow and go, Woo, woo, woo.
