As an AD, seeing athletes post individual workouts and camp highlights on social media means very little if they are not showing up for team workouts or injured and canโt participate. Talent never outweighs accountability.
Team workouts build more than strength and skill. They build trust, chemistry, leadership, and commitment to something bigger than yourself.
Coaches must hold everyone to the same standard, regardless of talent level. If athletes consistently avoid the process, spend more time in the training room than on the field, or fail to invest in their teammates, they are showing coaches they cannot be counted on when it matters most.
Culture is built by what you allow, not by what you say. This is why teams with the most talent donโt always win the championship.

Texas WBB HC Vic Schaefer when asked if heโs too demanding as a coach.
โI talk to other coaches and other people in the industry. Iโm constantly toldโฆwhy would you do anything different? If the worst thing someone can say is we work hard, Iโm okay with that.โ

โI was at Utah State. I grew up a Jazz fan, that was very important to me.
I was at [Donovan Mitchellโs] 1st game. I went to a couple playoff games his rookie year.
So you're not going to find a guy more happy for him than I am.โ
