PLAYERS: Your coach shouldn't have to beg you to be unselfish, provide energy, have a good attitude, or give your best effort. Those are all things you can control. That is what a winning teammate brings to a team. Great teams have great teammates.
KIRBY SMART ON BEING GREAT
"There's one way. The right way. The hard way. There are no shortcuts.
At 7:30 when the alarm goes off... if you wanna be a really good player, you're gonna get up and go to class.
You've gotta do something that somebody else isn't willing to do."

High school freshman and sophs . Playing JV to get maximum reps is not punishment or disrespectful . You are the future of the program and you need to develop!!!
ALWAYS BE ON TIME
The 1992 Dream Team had one rule: ALWAYS BE ON TIME! When you're late, it communicates that you either don't respect time or you don't respect the other person. If it was good enough for the greatest sports team of all-time, it's probably good enough for us.
