With less than a minute left, a high school team in Ohio subbed in a player with Down's Syndrome, so he could play in the team's final game of the year.
This should be shared a million times

Geno said he found out Paige Bueckers was coming back next season at the same time as everyone else at Gampel.
This was his reaction immediately afterwards:
Be so TOUGH nothing rattles you.
Be so CONFIDENT you'll face any challenge.
Be so COMPETITIVE you refuse to lose.
Be so ENCOURAGING your teammates respect you.
Be so COACHABLE you're a joy to work with.
Be so RELIABLE we can't keep you off the court/field.

COACHES: Every single day you have to fight for the culture that you want. You have to compete for the hearts and minds of your players. You have to intentionally inspire those that you lead. It's not always easy but it will always be worth the effort.
COACHES: The title "Coach” is a privilege. You have both a great opportunity and responsibility. Don't ever take it for granted. With great power comes great responsibility. You have an amazing opportunity to influence so many people. Be a positive leader. Stay encouraged.
Coaching is a process. You don’t want your team to be their best at the beginning of the season. You want them at their best at the end of the season.
Step by step with patience. A little at a time.
Start with the basics at the beginning. Add as they are ready for more.
If Nebraska volleyball can play in their football stadium…
Why not have Kim Mulkey and the defending National Champions play in Tiger Stadium?👀👀👀👀
What do you say @iGREDUS@joeschwartz25? Make some more history?

Uncoachable players:

-Feel they’re being singled out
-Become very defensive
Coachable players:
-Open to feedback/criticism
-Want to be coached
-See it as a way to get better
