Coaches can set the standard.
But players decide if it lives or dies.
The best players don’t just do it right.
They make sure everybody else does too.

When players start leading like coaches, winning stops being a hope and starts becoming a habit.

“Banners hang in gyms and rings collect dust. But who you become and who you impact you get to keep forever,” Cori Close

Your character defines winning.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.

Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥

You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.

Hard is the lesson.

‼️Every coach and leader should listen to this.

"We're such an instant gratification era ... We're trying to skip the step of adversity and growth ... but we're gonna have to face it.

Sometimes the grass isn't greener on the other side. Sometimes you're just trading one set of problems for another."

~ Eli Drinkwitz 🏈

Nick Saban said, "There can be no great victories in your life unless you overcome adversity."

"You can’t be a great competitor unless you overcome adversity. That's mental."

The best aren't fearless - they just keep showing up.

They choose toughness, persistence, and grit.

[Coach Hines 🇺🇸 @CoachKurtHines]

Don’t like that coach plays “favorites”? - BECOME one of his favorites!

[Coach Hines 🇺🇸 @CoachKurtHines]

Sometimes being the GREATEST, is all about being LAST!

Last to leave team workouts
Last to EVER be disrespectful
Last to do the bare minimum
Last to leave practice
Last to blame others
Last to talk bad about coaches
Last to put up with selfish teammates
Last to EVER quit

“Most of us want adversity to go really quickly. Like okay it will be tough for a half a day and then we’re done. This is what life is about. You don’t get to control the length of adversity. All you get to do is control your attitude and your focus and just work to change it,” Kara Lawson

Geno Auriemma said, "Your contribution doesn’t have to be 25 points. But it has to be something."

"Your number one contribution is the energy you bring."

You don’t have to score to make an impact.

Great teammates bring energy, effort, and attitude.

Referee Isaac Barnett showed incredible care and compassion towards Kelsey Mitchell tonight when she needed help. WNBA officials have taken a lot of criticism lately. He deserves praise for this.

[CC Report @cc22report]

Steph White on Phee's comments - "I have a lot of respect for Phee. She quietly always goes about her business. She's been a dominant player in our league and on the global stage. She understands, has been a part of the PA and understands the business side of it as well as the basketball side of it, and I'm thankful that we have strong women that are willing to say the things that matter and the things that will move the needle for change."

That is as close to a full throated endorsement from a coach (who technically are on the ownership side of the table in terms of the CBA) as you are ever going to get

@Coach_DeMarco @benjaminmurph55 Thank you coach!

[Alan Stein, Jr. @AlanSteinJr]

💥 If you’re soft, you’re selfish.
If you’re silent, you’re selfish.
If you’re stupid, you’re selfish.

Bad body language? Selfish.
Repeating the same mistake? Selfish.
Avoiding hard conversations? Selfish.

High performance is about us, not you.
So stop pouting, start communicating, and raise your standard—especially when no one’s watching.

Because how you act off the field defines who you are on it.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Nick Saban Gold 🥇

“Negative experiences without teaching kill morale.”

Read that again.
This is what being a “transformational” coach is all about.

Are you about winning or are you about teaching?

Are you about transactions or relationships?

Did you catch what she said? 😢
