The One Non-negotiable in Urban Meyer’s Morning Routine

By Jared Dees

People seem to be enthralled by the morning routines of successful people.

When it comes to football, Coach Urban Meyer is as successful as it gets.

What is the one non-negotiable part of his morning routine?

He does a 30-minute personal Bible study at 6:00am every day.

He said on Lewis Howes’s podcast that if he misses this prayer time in the morning, he feels empty without it.

Every day he gets an email from Tim Kite with the day’s Bible study and he spends thirty minutes reading and praying with it.

If they have a practice at 6:00 or the email comes later in the day, he finds time to do it no matter what.

How incredible is that?

The one, most essential part of Urban Meyer’s day is reading the Bible and prayer.

Throughout that same interview, Coach Meyer talked about God and how he created us for a certain purpose. To Meyer, life is all about discovering that purpose and aligning your dreams and habits to it.
