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.

Hope Vic, Steph, and Harper feel that loss every single day this offseason.
Because the Spurs can’t afford to sit still. There’s real room to improve this roster without mortgaging draft capital for one overpriced name as well.
Every team in the West is coming. OKC isn’t slowing down. Denver will be back. Minnesota will be better. Utah is trending toward the playoffs. Portland is building. I can keep going.
And wasting cap space on marginal returns isn’t the answer either. This offseason has to mean something.
What a season.
From the lottery to 60 wins.
From out of the playoffs to winning the West.
6 year playoff drought gone.
9 year WCF appearance drought over.
12 years not winning the West erased.
I love this team so much
Unforgettable year San Antonio Spurs. Thank you so much.
Someone help find this young man so we can get him a pair of playoff tickets.
He showed up to his graduation ceremony at the UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA and pulled off a stunt that has OKC Thunder fans up in arms. 💪🏽🏀😂
