Assistant Coach at Kennesaw State University🦉~Brother~Son~Uncle~1911🐶⚡️

Marcus Freeman says caring for players solely to produce better results is manipulation, and genuine love usually produces better results anyway

“It’s why you do what you do. I’m a competitive dude. I want to be the best at what I do. But that’s not why I do what I do.”

“I truly want to make sure the young people you coach are better football players and better men because they chose to play football at a place you’re the leader of.”

“It isn’t about wins and losses as much as…‘I want this young person to be better because of the time we spent together.’ That means caring about him as an individual. Caring about his family.”

“You don’t do that for me to win games. But you know what? It helps.”

“At times I’m hard on them. But they know I care about them. ‘I love you.’ ‘Now I’m going to get after your ass.’ ‘I’m going to get after you, but I love you.’”

“When you feel that way about somebody… That’s when you’ll run through a brick wall.”

🇺🇸 Anthony Grant has been part of medal-winning runs before. Now, he’s leading one himself.

Grant returns to the #USABMU18 after assistant coaching stints in 2008 & 2018, bringing years of experience & appreciation for the mentors who shaped him.

We are all just renting our jobs, roles, and titles.

"I have been here for 15 years as the head coach...this position has been on loan and it wasn't mine to keep...It's time for me to give it back, but to give it back to gain what I can't lose." -- Tony Bennett

Titles eventually get handed back. Just make sure you don't completely sacrifice what matters most trying to hold onto something that was never yours to permanently keep.

Jobs are finite. Values are infinite.

Mike Tirico told me his secret.

It wasn't talent.
It wasn't luck.
It was what he does on every flight home.

A few years ago, I met him at a restaurant bar in Indianapolis during the Big Ten tournament. One of the biggest voices in sports.

He didn't lead with his résumé. He introduced himself. He asked questions. He cared about every person in the room before anyone cared about him.

Eventually, I asked him what made him great.

He said after every game he calls, on the flight home, he pulls up the broadcast and watches it back.

Listens to his own voice. Hunts for the misses. The dead air. The calls he wishes he could have over.

Every game. Twenty-plus years in.

He wasn't born world-class. He worked his way there one flight at a time.

The best in any room are usually the ones still grading themselves the hardest.

World-class isn't a personality.

It's a habit.

The toughest opponent you’ll ever face?

You.

Mike Tomlin knows it.
“This is a man versus himself battle.”

Great players don’t wait for competition to push them.

They push themselves.

Every. Single. Day.
