DAMIAN LILLARD ON ACCOUNTABILITY
“I make sure that I’m on time to the gym. I get there early. I make sure I’m the most coachable. That shows I am accountable for myself, now I can hold other guys accountable.”

Great coaches get the most out of their people because they invest the most in their people.
It's about RELATIONSHIP.
If an athlete knows that you really care and believes that you can make them better, they will buy in and do everything they can for you.
Being coachable means you're willing to consider feedback even if you don't like what you hear. It means resisting the urge to make excuses or get defensive when challenged. Getting better is more important than your ego. You'd rather get it right than be right.
