Kirk Cousins on Resilience and Hard

And so when life gets hard, because it's gonna get hard, you know, I'm coming off a torn Achilles. I got a scar like this on my ankle. I broke my ankle in high school. I've been benched. I've been booed. Okay, I've broken ribs. Life will get tough, but tough times don't last, and tough people do. And so I just challenge all the young people to be resilient. And when life does hit you in the mouth a little bit and you say, ooh, I don't like how this feels. I don't like how hard this homework is. I don't like how hard the piano lessons are. I don't like weight room and how it makes me feel, I would say, no, now's the time to lean in. Now's the time to keep going, because tough times don't last, but tough people do. And so you show your resiliency and you develop your grit in those moments when it doesn't feel right, but it is the right thing to do.
