No matter how good you are, the wrong room will never see your value

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

5 things coaches don’t like:

1. Excuses.
2. Entitlement.
3. Anti-team behavior.
4. Poor body language.
5. Blaming refs and teammates.

Coaches can handle mistakes.
They can’t handle losing mindsets.

[Cameron Kinley @ck3thethrill]

Stop letting your best player set the lowest standard. The most dangerous thing in any program is a talented player with unchecked character.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

You can tell a lot about a team
by how they act
when no one is watching.

Practice lines.
Bench reactions.
How they treat the manager.

Championship habits are quiet long before they’re loud.

[Adam Breneman @AdamBreneman81]

SMU Head Coach Rhett Lashlee requires every coach to have a photo of their family outside their office.

A simple reminder of what matters most.

S/o Alexander Kilgore for showing me around!

Asked Arkansas coach John Calipari about Porter Moser.

“Coaches win games, administrations win championships. We can do our thing but they choose to invest.

“He’s a championship coach.”

[Coach West @coachwwest]

Everybody wants honesty from coaches until honesty doesn’t sound like praise

[Osborne Athletics @osbcardinals]

@GregBerge I’ve heard @craiggroeschel say “do more of what matters”…
Cignetti saying it too. Must be something to it. #Grit

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Underrated coaching truth:
The best coaches aren’t obsessed with talent.

They’re obsessed with effort.
With attitude.
With toughness.

Because when it gets hard,
that’s what still shows up.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Do hard things.

Easy never builds greatness.
Hard does.

Hard teaches discipline.
Hard builds toughness.
Hard separates average from elite.

Stop running from challenges.
Lean into them.

[James P. Arnold @PresArnoldICC]

just saw this.....pretty great

"Never waste your time in a room that doesn’t celebrate your attendance."

[Dennis Marshall @mar5hallhoops]

Some players are just players and some players are winners.

[Dennis Marshall @mar5hallhoops]

Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxey are both 6’2. They are 2 of the best guards in the world. Tyus Jones 6’0. Jose Alvarado 6’0. Kyrie 6’2. Trae Young 6’1. Don’t listen to the noise small guards. Keep working.

[Coach VJ @VeraJoBustos]

Don't ever be that player who is:

Too cool to play hard.
Too cool to be prepared.
Too cool for mental game training.

Cool doesn't impress.
Cool won't get you more playing time.
Cool won't make you better.

But it will get you beat!

[Alan Stein, Jr. @AlanSteinJr]

All emotions are OK. All behaviors aren’t. Give yourself permission to feel how you feel but don’t let it dictate how you treat others. “Standards over feelings.”

[Scottie Pippen @ScottiePippen]

BAD NEWS:
You're not going to fit in with everyone.

GOOD NEWS:
The great ones never do.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

“Courage is not knowing where the finish line is and going as hard as you can.” - Bill Self

The great ones…

- Don’t need certainty
- Don’t need guarantees

They give everything they have - no matter how long the road.

‘A quiet gym is a losing gym’.

The FOUNDATION of culture is communcation.

ELO:

Early
Loud
Often

Rick Pitino, one of the greatest defensive coaches of all time, popularized this acronym for a teams COMMUNICATION on the floor.

Great teams communicate DESPITE the fear of looking cool, being introverted, or being the youngest player on the team.

Each team has a mosaic of personality types. The primary goal of communication is for THE TEAM TO TAKE ON A SINGULAR, UNIFIED PERSONALITY.

You define this personality through your culture, and you refine it through your language and communication, DAILY.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

A team becomes unstoppable when the standards matter more than the feelings.
