Huge congratulations and super happy for the success of my brother Coach Topex Robinson. Proving once again how excellent of a leader he is of people and basketball programs. A winner EVERYWHERE he goes and a joy to play with and to play for. π’πΉ
Student-athletes: In the future there wonβt be anymore team meals. There wonβt be anymore practices or games. There wonβt be anymore team road trips and hotel stays. Being an athlete only lasts a short time. Work hard every day, soak it all in & appreciate the amazing experience.
A cardinal rule of responsibility is to shield others from the suffering you endured.
Good parents refuse to dump their childhood baggage on their kids. Good leaders and coaches refuse to perpetuate abusive patterns.
You can choose to do right in the ways you've been wronged.
βIβve never coached a good 3:30 guy. Individual development happens when guys spend time on the court outside of Team Practice. You donβt win Championships with 3:30 guys.β

It's easier to fill gaps in competence than gaps in character.
Even if people have strong experience, it's a mistake to hire or promote them if they have weak values.
Knowledge and skills can be learned. Principles like integrity, humility, and generosity are tougher to teach.
We call someone leader not because they are in charge but because they have the courage to go first. To risk first. To trust first. First into the unknown.
