“I used to think that I could affect winning and losing. I,I,I,I I keep using that word. Then it became more of, I have very little control of winning and losing, the only thing I have control of is…am I putting them in a position every day in practice to learn how to win?” Geno Auriemma

The biggest excuse from parents is "The coach took away my son's/daughter's confidence." Confidence can neither be taken nor given. Players earn the right to be confident by the work they put in on their own. Get them a hoop and a ball, not excuses.#coachingdevotionals
“How much of this do you think is cancel culture…I hear a lot of coaches talk about they don’t feel like they can coach young kids anymore. Cause anything they say could get used against them.” – Jay Williams on developing American NBA players
Anyone who thinks kids today are too soft to be coached like this doesn't understand kids today—or leadership.
If your players know you honestly and truly care about them, you can raise the standards as high as you want and they will strive to meet them.
