Default 4 things on door: shown in Football LIfe

Hey guys,

Little help. What were the 4 things that Belichick preached on A Football Life that were on the door when players walked out?

I'm trying to motivate my rec basketball team, as over the last few yrs we always destroy the mediocre teams, but can't seem to be mentally tough enough to beat the other good teams. We always find weird ways to lose, kinda like the chargers. And, being the captain I'm starting to think there has to be a way I can change our mentality. So, was gonna email them the four points that were on that door.

It looked like on the other side of the door there was a "when you enter here" sign, does anyone know what that one says?

Or go with the four things on the door in Cleveland when Eric Mangini was head coach:

When You Leave Here:
1. Stab someone in the back
2. Find someone to blame for your shortcomings
3. Rat out someone who helped you along the way
4. Get a job on TV and grovel for forgiveness

Or Rex Ryan's sign in the Jets locker room:

1) Eat plenty of snacks after meetings & frequent all fast food joints in East Rutherford

2) Talk down about the team you are about to play and say you are better than they are

3) Expect A Super Bowl Win this year...and next year and next year and....

4) Make sure you walk barefoot around the locker room so I can take pictures for my bizarre fetish of feet

Mods...check this account. I think it's really Norv Turner trolling for info.

These are grown men, right? I'd skip the four things on the Patriots door thing. Life likely has prevented all involved from being in the football psychotic mindframe conducive to brainwashing. If it were on me, and I were the Captain, I would make practices brutal. That's the best way to get mental toughness. As a captain it's your job to set the tone for mental toughness through conditioning and practice effort. Run yourself and your guys into the ground. Only way to do it, and it will work.
