UCONN HC Dan Hurley - Leadership & Culture
"Leadership and culture have never been more important."
"Your culture better be on point, your leadership better be on point, you better be the driving force behind your organization every day that you step foot in to that building. And you better set the tone. You better be a tone setter every single day of what you want to reflect in your culture."
"I keep my players happy because they know that there is very few places in the country, if any, where they're going to get the same level of commitment in terms of time & effort that's going to be in to their career, skill development & personal development."
"And they know that every day that they're on campus in Storrs CT... That full staff is in the office and we're working towards making them better. I'm not out playing golf in June... I'm in the gym with them, I'm in the weight room with them, I'm in the office with them."
"I want my players to feel like they're not going to get better service than they're going to get from our staff. And they literally see a person that is trying to kill themselves on the job to help them reach their dreams and goals."
Rick Pitino uses an hourglass to teach his players one lesson:
Your sand is already falling.
One day it all stops - don't waste it.
Choose to appreciate today and be grateful for the opportunity.
Coaches: You will be judged by people who know the least.
They don’t come to practice.
They don’t know the kids.
They just watch the scoreboard.
Stay grounded.
Thick skin isn’t optional, it’s survival.
Things you can control in games:
• Effort
• Attitude
• Self-talk
• Body language
• Attention
• Execution
Things you can’t control in games:
• Winning
• Your opponent
• Refs
• Fans
• Weather
• The past/future
To play your best, focus only on what you can control.
Head Coach Leonard Bishop and Harmanie Dominguez recap the 82-78 win over University of Houston in the Sawmill and emphasize the importance of not letting logos scare them.
