Gregg Popovich shares his final message and it has nothing to do with wins and losses.
"The wins and losses are all crap. The highs and lows are all crap. It's illusory. It doesn't really exist."
"What exists is seeing these guys and their kids. Those relationships with your assistant coaches - everybody else you're with - your colleagues, your friends."
"'Cause that's what you take with you as you move along."
The best leaders and coaches invest in people.
"All those wins or losses - they fade away. They fade away."
"But those relationships stick with you forever. And that's where the self-esteem and the self-satisfaction comes."
A must-listen message for all coaches, players, parents, and teach out there.
Great leadership isn't one style. It's knowing your people well enough to give them what they need. Invest in the relationships.
Care about people, hold them to their potential, and lead in your style.

Focus on an athletic stance, swing it hard and keep the head still.
Of course there will be things to fix in a swing but if itβs a young player and the swing is good but the power just isnβt where you want it to be, it will come!

"I was in L.A. watching [Eddie Murray] take batting practice... the whole 1st round was the ugliest swings I've seen in my life... I walked up to him and said Eddie what were you trying to do in that 1st round? He goes, that was infield back man on 3rd less than 2 outs I got 2 strikes and I'm just trying to put it in play"
Will Clark tells the story of watching Eddie Murray prepare in batting practice and how it changed his thought process.
