Mike Tomlin says coaches who are afraid of criticism become easier to beat because they start protecting themselves instead of helping their players
“Sometimes I got an agenda, and that was kind of my agenda, man. We don’t take enough responsibility as coaches. There’s so much specialization in our business. There’s so many damn coaches and analysts and all of this stuff.”
“The generation that raised us, man, they coached every damn thing. They took responsibility for everything. You’re on the field, you’re off the field — they just trained you. I want to be a one-man crusade for that.”
“Let’s own everything. Let’s raise these dudes. They need it, man. It’s so many places to hide, man. We got to tell the truth.”
“You’re damn right. It’s hard though. People don’t want to be laid naked in front of folks. When you’re coaching the team and you’re being your authentic self, now you’re open for whatever.”
“People so scared of criticism. They so scared to say, ‘No, this is my decision. This is what I believe and I’m standing on it,’ that now they hold themselves back from actually helping a player be better.”
“They trying to insulate themselves in case it don’t go right. ‘I don’t want to tell you this because if it go bad, then I told you. I’m gonna let you go by yourself.’ A lot of people don’t have the security. They easier to beat.”
Doc Rivers explains why friends and family can become the “peripheral opponents” every championship team must overcome:
“There are a lot of guys who say all they’re trying to do is win. I say, ‘Yeah, not really.’ You’re trying to win as long as you get to do whatever you want to do. That’s not how it works.”
“The individual has to lose for the team to win. There’s a lot of truth to that. You have to give up something that’s real. Everybody isn’t going to get the role they want. But if you want to win, you have to buy into the role the team needs from you.”
Kevin Garnett: “I was taking 19 shots. I went from 19 shots to 12 shots a game. I was like, ‘Damn.’ But now we were winning.”
“We called the people outside the locker room the ‘peripheral opponents.’ Everybody outside the locker room can become the opponent.. Including families at times.”
"They’re never going to tell you what you need to hear. They’re going to tell you what you want to hear. They’ll tell you, ‘You need to shoot more. You aren’t getting enough shots.’ If you aren’t playing, they’ll tell you that you need to play more.”
Garnett: “We had to battle the outsiders. Family. Friends. We had to battle those outside voices.” When someone came into the locker room feeling a certain way, we reminded them that it was bigger than that.”
“It was about what was inside our locker room. That was key for us.”
“Most people don’t want be pushed that hard. They want to be pushed to their level of comfort. You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure,” Tom Brady

"Earn a role.
That's your job.
There are a lot of roles and a lot of jobs on this football team at all different levels.
Your coaches and I are here to help you get there.
There will be no victims here.
There ain't a coach in the world that isn't playing the best players."
