People claim the footwork in the NBA NOW is a travel, yet Hakeem Olajuwon, who has the best footwork of all time, teaches like this
Just enjoy the greatness
Mick Cronin shares the coaching philosophy that drives every decision he makes.
"You're never gonna make everybody happy. I don't worry about that stuff."
"I worry about when they're 28...not right now."
"Are they gonna say that I cared enough to be hard on them and try to teach them right from wrong?"
Great coaches look to develop people.
Then he got honest:
"Sometimes I say stuff I shouldn't say. I can be too hard on them. But I'd rather err on that side."
"Because I wake up worrying about what they think when they're 28 not when they're 18."
The best coaches look to play the long game. They look to develop people of character.
"Did he let me do things I shouldn't have been doing just 'cause I was scoring points for him? Or did he sit me down and try to change my ways as a man?"
Your impact never fades.
Coach for who people can become not just who they are right now.
