.@dawnstaley on the bond she creates with all of her players: “If there were ever a secret to being a great coach, that’s it: the connection.
I need to have a personal relationship with each player. I, just like they do, have to be invested. Something other than basketball has to draw me to them. Basketball is the immediate common ground between us, of course, but I’m talking about a personal level. I like to have something more....
After building personal relationships with these players — relationships that require reciprocal trust and vulnerability — that guard is down. They’re seeing more of me — who I really am — than any other place I’ve been. I’m more myself now. That feeling of letting my guard down allows me to give my all. I credit our players for allowing me to coach the way I do — I don’t have to censor anything. I don’t have to put on airs. I feel what I feel when I feel it, and then I express it. That’s what the people and players of South Carolina have done: help me be myself.
You can’t ask a player to let you in if you don’t do the same.” https://t.co/SVlgAaLYJR
Congratulations to @GamecockWBB's Coach Dawn Staley on being named SEC Coach of the Year for the third consecutive time. You are a fierce competitor, a decorated champion, and an inspiration to so many across our nation.
“I didn’t back down from the challenge and going up against the best shooter this game has ever seen — and shooting from the NBA line to show all those young kids to not be scared in doing something that has never been done before.”
