Kirby Smart says his dad taught him to take a step backward in his early career to work for people smarter than him and optimize less for title/money and more for who he gets to learn from

“Throughout my career, each move I made, I would call my dad. ‘Okay, I have an opportunity to go to Valdosta State. What should I do?’ And he would say, ‘Take it. Run with it. You’re ready for it.’ The next year: ‘Okay, I have an opportunity to be the defensive coordinator at 23 years old at a Division II school.’”

“‘Yeah. Take it. Do it. Then when I had a chance to go to Florida State and be a graduate assistant, and you would see that as a step back from defensive coordinator, my dad was like, you’re going to get to work for Bobby Bowden.”

“He saw the path. He’s like, go work for people that are smarter than you, that are more successful than you, and it’ll pave a long path for you.’”

“My first job at Valdosta State, I made $9,000 annually. Then you go from being a GA at Florida State making no money to being a coach for Nick Saban at LSU. My first real SEC job, I made $100,000.”

“That was more than my dad had made his entire career coaching. He had coached for 30 years.”

Jay Johnson on the lesson he got from Chris Petersen on modeling the standards you expect from your players.

“If I want my team to be more mentally tough, then I need to be more mentally tough.”

The standard has to apply first to the people who set it.

Every standard you set for your team creates a corresponding standard for you.

If you want disciplined players, lead with discipline. If you want consistent players, lead with consistency.

Your players shouldn’t have to rely solely on what you say the standard is. They should be able to study how you lead and live it.

When Alex Verdugo was on the Red Sox back in 2021 he took the time to talk to a fan about his approach to hitting. Really cool video...

[Trey Hannam @TJHannam10]

I've found that the best hitters tend to..

- Show up earlier
- Take more notes
- Ask more questions
- Seek more challenging training
- Put more effort into prep + warm-up routine
