[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Matt Painter shares a masterclass on emotional control and why it's the difference between winning and losing.

"There are certain things you absolutely can't control."

"I ref our practices by myself and I never run. Think about how many times I'm out of position and I just guess. I always tell them that."

"They say, 'Coach, you missed this, you missed this.' I said, 'Learn to play the game. Move to the next play. Don't be emotional. That's what a real player does.'"

Learn how to focus better and master the next-play mentality.

Then he called out what went wrong:
"Emotional people in basketball and in business - they're not good decision makers. We got emotional there."

Frustration is understandable. Letting it control your decisions is a choice.
"Worry about what you can control. There are certain things we could control tonight that we didn't do a very good job of and it has nothing to do with actually playing the game."

"Very fortunate to learn a hard lesson and still win the game."

You have to be able to manage where you focus.

The refs aren't always right. The calls won't always go your way.

Control your emotions or they'll control you.

@BrissettSzn @Nick_Baumgart You don’t offer someone the summer before their junior year if you’re just wanting to “take a chance” on them. They were sure of him. Some people just don’t know how to evaluate talent
