Our Spring Basketball league promotes moments like this. No coaches for the games- kids taking ownership- awesome! @SEHS_BASKETBALL @COSAbasketball

@Mike_Jagacki @Coachfeldman1 Bigs up, shooters in the corners. Harden or Mitchell in the middle. If big defenders sink it’s all ball screens. Temporary solution but should work for a few possessions.

Dan Hurley shares why his players accept hard coaching and it comes down to one thing.

"You invest every second that you can in them. On the court and off the court. You just pour everything you have into them. Your family is intertwined with your program."

"I think players sense that. They feel that."

Then he explained why his players accept being pushed:
"My players will accept the hard coaching from me and our staff because they know how much we love them."

"They know how much we're trying to prepare them, toughen them up, teach them, help them grow as men, develop new skills quickly - all those things that are gonna add value to their lives."

People know when you invest and you care.

"We're relentless for them. We're literally giving everything we got to them while they're on campus."

The formula: Invest and care first then balance that with pushing them forward.

Then he got honest:
"I wouldn't wanna play for me for 10 years. I wouldn't wanna play for this staff for 8, 10, 12, 15 years. We go hard for these guys while they're on campus and that's why you see the bond the way it is."

The window may be short, but the impact lasts forever.

Players don't accept hard coaching because you demand it. They accept it because they know you love them.

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office.

Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known.

He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions.

Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?"

I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well."

The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year.

Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there.

But at game time, the tires were flat.

I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands.

Now it was time to reset.

"Shower well" means exactly this:
• Watch the frustration circle down the drain
• Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind
• Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest

Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight.

Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization.

I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball.

Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home.

You can carry all of that through your front door.

Or you can shower well.

I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them.

The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up.

Either we win. Or we learn.

The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day.

So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well.

Tomorrow is a new at-bat.

What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Rick Pitino was asked what stops people from being great. His answer was one word.

"Ego stops greatness. I call it edging greatness out."

"In a spiritual sense, ego is edging God out. But ego is edging greatness out."

And he made a key distinction:
"I'm not talking about confidence. You have to be a confident person."

"But ego really gets you to where you think you've arrived. You think you know it all. You stop learning. You stop listening."

That's the trap. Confidence keeps you hungry. Ego convinces you that you've already made it.

You lose your hunger and humility.

"Learning and listening are important for great leaders. Great leaders have to listen and they have to continue to learn and surround themselves with people that are better than them."

EGO = Edging Greatness Out

The moment you think you've arrived is the moment you stop growing.

Stay confident. Stay humble. Never stop learning.
