Steve Nash shares the truth about the journey to greatness.
"You don't have to be the chosen one."
"The secret is to build the resolve and spirit to enjoy the plateaus - the times when it doesn't feel like you're improving and you question why you're doing this."
Most people quit during the plateau. Learn to embrace it.
"If you're patient, the plateaus will become springboards."
Progress isn't linear. The flat moments aren't wasted - they're building.
"Never stop striving, reaching for your goals until you get there."
"But the truth is, even when you get there - even when you get here, standing on this stage - it's the striving, fighting, pushing yourself to the limit every day that you'll miss and you'll long for."
"You'll never be more alive than when you give something everything you have."
The destination isn't the reward - the journey is.
Enjoy the process and fall in love with the climb because that's where life happens.
Creighton coach Greg McDermott on a potential Crown, NIT bid: "You get to play college basketball once. Somebody tells you that you get to play a few more games, then you play a few more games. ... If they give us a chance to play, we'll keep playing."
In life you’ll be tested often. You will fail. You’ll face setbacks. You’ll often get discouraged. But the key is to: Stay faithful. Keep working. Get better.
“I’ve learned I’m at my best when you’re around people that you love so much that you don’t want to let them down.”

"Players don't want to get coached hard today.
But I loved being coached hard.
They helped me to develop not only on the court but off the court as well."
When a coach is hard on you, it’s usually because they see what you can be.
That’s what develops the player and the person.
Every time you choose to get back up and fight, you are inspiring someone else to do the same. The battle is rarely about us. In fact, it is usually about us giving others the #courage to keep on keeping on. #BattleTested

"Whether you are starting or sitting on the bench, your team is YOUR team.
It's 'we' and 'ours' not 'they', 'them', or 'their'.
Win or lose, playing or sitting, you are responsible for being a good teammate, positive leader, energy giver, and verbal encourager"

"If you don't want problems, don't recruit them.
I don't recruit entitlement kids.
There is no way that I recruit a kid unless I know that he will buy into the way we do things."
Great teams don’t have passengers.
This isn’t a ride, it’s a responsibility.
