"You can have both.
You can compete at the highest levels...and be committed to winning for the sake of the group with total commitment AND you can love each other well, commit to growth first, and live in a place of gratitude and service.
You can do both at the same time."
“Banners hang in gyms and rings collect dust. But who you become and who you impact you get to keep forever,” Cori Close
Your character defines winning.
The number of girls playing high school basketball is a crisis no one is talking about.
Programs are drying up. Teams can barely fill their rosters.
We can't grow this game if we can't get kids to believe it's worth their time.
What are programs doing to fix this?
If you have a pulse, you see this and see how special coaching is.
You get to guide young people and be a positive presence during their most important years.
It’s not an easy profession, but it’s fulfilling it if you’re in it for the right reasons.
“Please don’t ever judge me for wins and losses that’s not who I am as a coach.
Relationships- you want it for them.”
Championships change careers.
Relationships change lives.
Athletes. Coaches.
Don’t just chase wins. Change people.
That’s the real legacy.

If you were as half as bad at your job as C.B. Bucknor is at his, you’d be unemployed. Stevie Wonder could literally have made the correct call here just from hearing his fucking foot hit the bag.
“I believe in you, but you gotta want this moment.”
True coaching isn't always quiet. It’s about meeting an athlete’s intensity with your own, demanding excellence because you care about their growth more than their comfort in the moment.
That’s the work.
Every team wants to win, but only the brave ones are willing to be authentically themselves under pressure.
When you stop playing with the "fear of judgment," you start playing with the freedom to give 100%.
That's where the magic happens.
Starting line doesn't determine finish line.
Write your own story.
Current position is just data, not destiny.
Where are you now versus where you're going?
My goal for every athlete I've ever coached is that they'll know that I loved them & my hope is that when they get older they’ll realize that those of us who demanded their best, were also the ones who cared about them the most.
