This week\\u2019s episode is nothing but a rant. Seriously. I was set off by one comment from a coach I don\\u2019t even know.

The comment was by new Georgia Tech head basketball coach Josh Pastner. I read about it in an article on football scoop (read it here).

The whole thing is ridiculous. If you want to be the guy who works 100 hours a week or more, great. Sometimes I am too, but it\\u2019s not because I want to be.

I\\u2019m sure not making anyone else do it, either.

So I turned on the microphone and went on a rant for Episode 157 of The Football Coaching Podcast.

Let me be clear. I don\\u2019t care about Josh Pastner, or Georgia Tech Basketball. He may be a great person. The comments may be out of context.

The article really just clicked a little something that I hear all of the time. From coaches, from business men, from teachers. From everyone.

You do not need to work yourself to death, neglecting your family and your health. You certainly don\\u2019t need to wear it as a badge of honor.

Some guys love the \\u201cgrind.\\u201d Working from 4am to midnight.

Sleeping just long enough to keep from stumbling through the day. Mumbling something about brains.

This podcast is a message to the guys who are not that guy. You don\\u2019t have to be.

For the guy who wants to be\\u2026 do you, bro. Just know that there are other ways to succeed.

In this episode, I also mentioned The Productivity Project by Chris Bailey. Here\\u2019s the link
