@CoachCalArk Happy Anniversary Coach!

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

John Calipari was asked, "What is your coaching philosophy in its simplest terms?"

The answer was TWO principles about people.

John may now be the head coach at Arkansas, but his philosophy hasn't changed in over 35 years since coaching at UMass.

He said, "If you care about your people, you always have a job. If they know you're about them, and you truly care and are about their growth, you always have a job."

His first principle is making sure that people know you care.
• It means investing the time.
• It means building the relationships.
• It means working to grow and develop people.

Then he said, "The best piece of advice I had was in 1989 by a guy named Pat Nardelli, a supporter of our high school basketball team. When I got the UMass job, he told me, 'Remember this, Cal: you can have a bad deal with good people because stuff happens, but you can never have a good deal with bad people. It doesn't work.'"

His second principle is working with great people.
It means surround yourself with the right people.
• Ask if they are good people with good hearts?
• Ask if they bring energy or take energy?
• Ask if they are good teammates?

The essence of his philosophy is pretty simple: care about your people and choose to work with good individuals.

"Institutions serve people, not the other way around.  So as a servant-leader, I measure my success by the success of those whom I’m serving." - John Calipari

@JamionChristian @PallTrieste And you guys were always one of the most difficult teams to scout and prepare for. Always 5-10 seconds of false action before the actual action we had to be prepared for. You made us better and you definitely made me better. Learned a lot preparing for your teams. Happy for you!

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"There is no coach that's successful that doesn't push his players hard.
No one works as hard as they can all the time.
It's not human nature.
Winning the games is the fun part, but you don't get there unless you go through the hard work part."
