Here's what @CoachDrinkwitz had to say on the Transfer Portal Era:
"We are such an instant gratification era, myself included. We are trying to skip the step of adversity and growth―you're never going to be able to skip that in life."
This is so good and needs to be heard by so many people
“We are trying to skip the step of adversity, you can never skip that in life.”
Those that didn’t have to grind to reach success have a tough time dealing w/ hardship

@Bellarminehoops “caring is such an incredible talent.” I personally believe a lot of times kids don’t care about how much you know or how smart you sound. They want to know you care. That your invested in them. That’s where trust is built and then you can unlock great things.
“I understand, well there’s a rule that Bellarmine’s gotta wait eight years, whatever it is. Change it! It’s not right for the kids.”

My family’s American dream started in a Clarksburg, WV coal mine, so this picture hits home.
From what I’ve been told, after his shift, he raced to be with his son & watch our team. Don’t know who this is, but I have tickets for him & his family at Rupp to be treated as VIPs!!
"You can easily separate 'team guys' from 'me guys' by how they accept coaching. The guys that accept it are about winning."-Parcells
Average players push back when being coached.
Great players want to be pushed by a coach.
Don't allow ego to prevent improvement.
For the first time since May and the fourth time this year, the Padres have recorded a stolen base and a sacrifice bunt in the same game. They won each of those first three games.
"Run hard when it gets hard to run. Everything starts with discipline. Practice until you can’t get it wrong - not just until you get it right. If you don’t respect it enough to do it right-when it’s the right way to do it, how can you be trusted in a game?" - Nick Saban
Clayton Kershaw was approached by a 10-year-old named Blake Grice after his presser today.
Blake's grandfather had always wanted to meet Kershaw, but passed away before that could ever happen. Blake wanted to carry out his grandpa's bucket list moment
Kenny Payne asks son, Zan, a UK basketball player, to stand up. Talks about sacrifices he's made as a coach and a father, to try and help others.
The lesson to his son: "You work your tail off. You do right by people. You be an ambassador for good. And your blessings will come."
