You as an individual coach have a responsibility to try to give those players who put themselves at risk and in harm's way a chance to achieve success, and that goes for universities and professional teams, as well.
I just coach the way I was coached when I was young, in my formative years. I grew up under demanding people, that demanded things from you, expected you to toe the mark.
Losers assemble in small groups & complain, winners assemble as a team & find ways to win.
If I have affected someone in a positive way, that means a lot to me.
A team divided against itself can break down at any moment. The least bit of pressure or adversity will crack it apart
Potential means you haven't done anything yet.
Blame no one. Expect nothing. Do something.
Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It's one thing to hate failure, it's another to fear it.
A coach wouldn’t throw you to the wolves if he didn’t think you had some wolf in you.
You are what your record says you are.
What sets disciplined people apart? - The capacity to get past distractions. Focus on the task at hand.
You lose with potential. You win with performance.
If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries.
Knowledge is confidence. And confidence lets you play fast.
