In college, practice is draggin'. Coach goes, 'Oh, hey, go on

Opening Scene
The room is filled with the gentle glow of the evening light, the flickering candle casting long, soft shadows across the table. Jack and Jeeny sit at the kitchen table, their mugs of tea steaming gently between them. The world outside feels distant, muted by the peace inside. Their conversation has shifted toward something more reflective but also energetic.

Host: The air is calm but expectant, as if the conversation is about to dive into something that resonates with personal growth and attitude. Jeeny looks at Jack, her expression thoughtful, before she shares the quote that’s been on her mind.

Jeeny: (gently, her voice reflective) “I came across something Baron Corbin said that made me think. He mentioned, ‘In college, practice is draggin’. Coach goes, ‘Oh, hey, go on over there and start a fight with one of the linebackers.’ Okay. So I'll go and start a fight with one of the linebackers... It's just an attitude that really developed in me, and now we just amplify it times 100 and make sure everybody understands what I do and what I'm about.’ Isn’t that an interesting perspective on the attitude behind success and growth?”

Jack: (nodding slowly, his voice thoughtful) “It really is. Corbin’s words are a great example of how mindset can shape what we do, and how that mindset can evolve. What’s interesting is how he describes starting a fight with a linebacker as a way to develop his attitude. It’s like he’s turning discomfort or challenge into something he embraces, something that pushes him forward. That’s a mindset that can really fuel personal growth.”

Jeeny: (smiling softly, her voice gentle) “Exactly. It’s not about avoiding the tough stuff, it’s about embracing it. Corbin seems to take the challenge head-on, and over time, that attitude becomes part of who he is. By amplifying it, by owning it, he turns it into a source of strength. He doesn’t shy away from conflict or challenge, he amplifies it to drive his purpose forward.”

Host: The quiet in the room deepens, as Jack and Jeeny reflect on how Corbin’s attitude towards practice, conflict, and growth is not about mere aggression but about turning adversity into empowerment. The gentle flicker of the candlelight mirrors the rhythm of their thoughts as they consider how mindset shapes our approach to the challenges in our lives.

Jack: (his voice softer, almost contemplative) “It’s humbling, isn’t it? The way Corbin views challenges. What he describes as ‘draggin’ practice’ could be seen as something negative or exhausting, but he uses that discomfort to fuel his growth. Instead of letting it wear him down, he amplifies it, uses it to build the kind of attitude that defines him. It’s a reminder that struggles don’t have to break us; they can shape us into something stronger.”

Jeeny: (nodding, her voice reassuring) “Yes, exactly. And it’s not just about pushing through obstacles — it’s about owning them, using them to define who you are and what you stand for. Corbin amplifies that ‘fight’ mentality, and it’s become a part of his success. It’s about turning every challenge into an opportunity to prove who you are and what you’re capable of.”

Host: The warmth in the room grows as the realization between them sinks in. The conversation has shifted from discussing Corbin’s experiences to exploring the deeper power of attitude — how it can shape our response to challenges and become the driving force behind success. Jack and Jeeny sit together, understanding that mindset, when embraced fully, can turn difficult situations into opportunities for growth.

Jack: (smiling slightly, his voice reflective) “It’s a reminder that success is not just about avoiding hard things. It’s about leaning into them, about developing a mentality that allows us to rise to the occasion, no matter what. Corbin’s approach shows us how mindset shapes action, how turning adversity into a strength is part of what drives success.”

Jeeny: (smiling warmly, her voice affirming) “Exactly. It’s about embracing the tough moments, making them part of your story, and using them to fuel what you do next. That’s the true power of attitude — not just to face the world, but to transform the challenges we face into something that defines us.”

Host: The evening continues, but the room feels richer now, filled with the realization that success is as much about the mindset we carry as it is about the obstacles we face. Jack and Jeeny sit in the quiet understanding that how we respond to challenges — with strength, with attitude, and with purpose — shapes who we become and what we’re capable of. The world outside continues, but inside, they are reminded that growth often comes from embracing the discomfort and amplifying it to fuel our own journey.
