From Jon Scheyer to Bob Richey to D2 coaches to NAIA coaches - they’re all talking about the “rollercoaster” ups and downs of coaching in today’s game.
It doesn’t matter who you recruit. Every year you bring in 3,4,5, or more new players. Recruit high schoolers, and it’ll take time for them to mature through college game reps. Bring in transfers, and it’ll take time acclimating to your program’s culture. The results will be ups and downs throughout your season.
Coaches can’t get too high with the wins or too low with the losses.
Strong cultures with transformational leaders and players who buy in and develop mental toughness will have the best chances for success.
This video of Coach K talking to Duke’s team is worth every second of your time.
“Have the courage to say what you feel!”
Watch the full video, it gave me goosebumps twice: https://t.co/iW6jklGkmg
“Win the day”
“Go to class, sit in the first couple of rows”
“Listen to the teachers”
“Take care of your body”
“Eat something with some color”
“Get in the video room”
“Take hard coaching.. be a man”
“Be a great teammate”
“Get in the weight room”
Chills.
What an incredible presentation by the @Rangers for Josh Hamilton showing casing an incredible six year career with the club.

Carter Gonzales of West Texas ONE has done a really good job of playing at his own pace and getting downhill. Quality shot created and facilitator off the bounce. Solid on ball defender.
