Rick Pitino shares the hourglass lesson he gives every team and why it's one you should be sharing with your team.
"I brought in a 60-minute hourglass. During our film session, I turned it over and said, 'That's how quick this next 6 weeks are gonna go for you. And then your career is over.'"
That's not a metaphor - it's a warning.
"Every player I've ever coached that's had great success - from Kentucky, Louisville, Providence - they said, 'If I could just have one more year back in college.' Even though they made the pros."
"Antoine Walker always says, 'If I could have that one more year like the '96 team.'"
The guys who made it to the highest level still wish they could go back.
"They're gonna miss it. But that hourglass - I want them to know it happens quick. All of a sudden it's gonna be February, you're into March, and it's over."
Don't wait until it's over to appreciate what you have.
Every day is an opportunity to choose gratitude.
