Bennett Stirtz following Iowa’s magical run to the Elite Eight:

“If you wanna be a great point guard, you should come to Iowa. If you wanna be a great player, a great big, a great shooter, come play for Iowa. This coaching staff is the best in the country, so, why wouldn’t you?”

As the HS girls basketball season winds down, all these conferences will be announcing their All Conference Teams.

I recently saw a local conference release their honors & here's a bit of advice for some of you HS coaches ...

1. A 1st Team All Conference player can win you a minimum of 4 conference games by THEMSELVES.

If your ONLY 2 conference wins are against a winless conference opponent, I'm sorry you DO NOT have a 1st Team All Conference player.

2. If the team you coach does not finish in the top 3 of the conference, you DO NOT have 4 all conference players!

Stop putting players up that are not deserving of honors.

Lastly & most importantly stop screwing over DESERVING players b/c you feel your player who put up big stats against the two worst teams in the conference is deserving of all conference honors because reality is THEY AREN'T!

When you are sitting in that All Conference meeting you can't say this stuff to the other coaches b/c they'll screw over your players & not vote for them.

It SHOULD BE SAID, so I said it for you coaches!

@SportsGuysIowa @CorsonCole @mschrocka Bring back 6 on 6. It would never happen, but the idea is fun to think about. I've only ever seen the old videos.

Everyone loves to win, but do you hate to lose?

Being coachable is a competitive edge.

- Take feedback without flinching.
- Apply it without excuse.
- Grow from it without needing praise.

The best don’t avoid coaching; they crave it.

Feedback isn’t an attack.
It’s a gift.
Use it.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Pat Summitt said, “Confidence is what happens when you’ve done the hard work that entitles you to succeed.”

Confidence is built. Earned. Tested.

It doesn't just show up - it's a process.

Here are 6 things you have to understand about confidence:🧵

"Teams that underachieve usually have poor player leadership."

Talent always sets the floor for a team.

What determines the ceiling?

1. Player Leadership
2. Team Culture

What is the ceiling of your team?

THE POWER OF HUMILITY

"Humility is not thinking less of yourself but rather thinking about yourself less." (Tony Bennett)

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

It only takes ONE.

- One Teammate can set the Tone
- One Teammate can be the Leader
- One Teammate can be the Anchor
- One Teammate can Set the Standard
- One Teammate can be the Missing Link
- One Teammate can make ALL the Difference

Be the ONE for your team.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Appreciate the NOW.

Rick Pitino is spot on. Every player’s hourglass runs out faster than they think.

One day, the practices, the games, the grind - it’s all gone.

Cherish every rep, every moment, every opportunity.

Don’t waste your sand. ⏳

[Tom Crean @TomCrean]

It’s February 9th. Players should still not be;
-Attempting to rebound balls with 1 hand.
- Missing layups because they should’ve used the BackBoard.
- Pouting because they didn’t get the 🏀.
-Missing weak side blockouts because they are just watching the 🏀.
- Arguing calls
