Inside Jameis Winston’s Locker

October 18th, 2016

.

It didn’t make the USA Today list of top-30 Muhammad Ali quotes, but it’s powerful enough to be the lone inspirational quotation visible in the locker of America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston.

About five inches wide on thin white paper, with transparent tape keeping it prominent, are the words, “What You Are Thinking About, You Are Becoming.”

That’s Jameis’ locker-room message to himself, with an assist to Ali, whose face is alongside the quote.

Joe talked briefly to Jameis about the quote yesterday. Joe said it was a good one, and Jameis corrected Joe to say it is a “a great one.” It’s not new to Jameis’ locker, he said, and it’s an important daily reminder.

So what is Jameis thinking about?

Hopefully, his mind is on playing confidently and comfortably within the offense and not forcing things. The latter would jibe with Jameis’ public statement that he needs to take more sacks.

    There are many variations of this saying. Those specific words might be from Ali but the thought behind them goes a long long way back.

    What the mind conceives the body achieves.

    Dr. Wayne Dyer’s great book..”You’ll see it when you believe it.”

    Marcus Aurelius is the great Roman Emperor who said many similar things.

    Bottom line is that I do not care where it comes from KUDOS to #3 for realizing it all starts in the mind!!! We have a group of posters here who simply do not realize that a negative attitude contributes to negative results.

    Nobody is trying to polish a turrd here. The Buc’s record is what it is. The team is nowhere near ready to compete for a SB and a trip to the playoffs is a long shot.

    But a major reason I keep yammering about being positive is that is where it all starts. Any fool can look at the failures and yammer endlessly about how much we suck. Winners do not dwell on the failure..they accentuate the positive and look to the future.

    Given that the single most important human being in our organization right now when it comes to leadership is #3, I’m beyond thrilled that unlike many Buc fans #3 GETS IT!!! GO BUCS!!!

    @lightningbuc that is the kind of locker room talk CNN would use against you to bar you from running for President in the future should you choose too if you are not careful!

    Too late lightning, you already there.

    Plot twist Jaboo is Ali’s illegitimate son. Carry on.

    lightningbuc made me laugh, but spbf has the post of the day.
    The final four paragraphs are words that all Bucs fans should take to heart.

    The minute I posted that, I knew either DB55 or Buc1987 would deliver an even lower blow. LOL! It’s all good.

  12. I'm tired and 87 is right Says:

    St. PeteBucsfan gets it and I agree with you 100%. It’s starts with all being positive including the fan base. We need to start bringing some of that good vibe back! Ya feel me! Go Bucs!!!

  13. DB55 Says:

    Ha! All in good fun bro.

    Pretty sure Winston will be a preacher or crazy motivational speaker type after the NFL

    Winning is all that matters on the NFL By any means necessary.
