Dan Hurley on the two personas every head coach must master:
The Jockey 🏇, and the Corner Man. 🥊
In practice — you are the jockey. You push. You challenge. You demand more than they think they have. You stretch them past comfort so execution becomes inevitable.
On game night — you become the corner man. You steady. You simplify. You remind them who they are. Confidence replaces correction.
Preparation is where you build them.
Performance is where you believe in them.
@SoupBarnett@JonnyRoot_@SethDavisHoops If you’re correct, how is that any better? Assuming for a sec that you’re right, the NBA is BIG on “mental health awareness.” So they fired their employee when “anyone can tell they are having a mental health episode.” Not exactly, “it’s okay not to be okay,” is it Paul?
Ben McCollum on how he thinks prospective high school and portal players will perceive Iowa, considering what the program is accomplishing this season: “If you’re a tough dude, this is a good spot for you. If you’re soft and you like yourself way too much, this is probably not the spot for you. We just try to recruit tough dudes that want to be part of something bigger than themselves, and hopefully people see that.”
@Owen_FBB Where would you rank someone like Elian Pena, who wasn’t in the ESPN player pool last year, but would be eligible to be drafted if he gets added this year?
Gian Paul Gonzalez got the school year started right with his inspiring message about being All In. Safe to say there’s a lot of Chiefs fans in Lebanon, MO that will also be pulling for Giants this year. Go Yellowjackets! #LIFE#TRUST#ALLIN
"When your present has your full commitment, your future becomes clear"

"Sometimes as coaches and leaders, you have to tell them the things they don't want to hear. I'm comfortable doing that because they know I come from a place that I care about them."
The secret isn't being nice.
It's balancing care with challenge.
