Texas HC Steve Sarkisian shares team motto for spring football

The Longhorns are cultivating an obsession for being their best in 2024.

We have a theme for the 2024 Texas football offseason. Head coach Steve Sarkisian is challenging his players to be obsessed with greatness.

Sarkisian shared the following to social media of the kind of obsession the team should have with being its very best.

“The obsessed inspire others to be obsessed. You can feel when someone loves what they do, when they live inside their craft. And, it pushes everyone around them to care about something that much.”

Sarkisian added another similar quote as the team kicks of spring football.

“It’s called a calling for a reason. When you find your obsession, you won’t be able to ignore it. Destiny doesn’t whisper. It screams.”

The quotes capture a new intensity that hasn’t been there in Austin for awhile. The Longhorns have wanted to win games in the past, but didn’t appear to want wins that badly.

The challenge ahead will require a high degree of obsession with getting better. It will require humility to ignore high praise. Outsiders could make the logical claim that Texas should accomplish all the things it did last season. But winning isn’t a given, and the Longhorns will need even more attention to detail to win 12 games again in 2024.

Steve Sarkisian wants his players to be obsessed with bringing their best effort this offseason. They will look to put up another strong product on the field next season.
