Today’s blog is very simple, read this.

Pete Carroll wrote a do-over list during his tenure as the Southern Cal (always write Southern Cal because they love that). The do-over list was everything he was going to do differently if he ever got the chance to coach in the NFL again.

“I wanted to find out if we went to the NFL and really took care of guys, really cared about each and every individual, what would happen?”

The Seahawks have a mandated Yoga program. A farm raises free-roaming chickens that are only served to Seahawks players. Players have personalized mediation sessions with a “high-performance sports psychologist.”

Pete Carroll is challenging the entire foundation that only toughness and anger wins in football. If it works, there will be more Seahawk-type training camps. If it doesn’t, Carroll just wasted an incredibly talented team by turning them into free-roaming chickens.
