Rick Pitino shares how a Wall Street legend changed the way he recruits.
When Pitino asked Mario Gabelli where he found his best talent...University of Chicago? Harvard? Wharton? - Gabelli's answer surprised him:
"No. I look for PhDs - Poor, Hungry, and Driven people."
Pitino adapted it for his players: Passionate. Hungry. Driven.
1. Passionate - They love the work, not just the results. You can't teach passion - it's either there or it isn't.
2. Hungry - They show up and do the work consistently - they're never satisfied. They outwork, outprepare, and outlast.
3. Driven - They have direction. They don't wait to be pushed - they take ownership of themselves, their actions, and their attitude.
Three three traits that compound over time.
