Michael Jordan says losing is not the opposite of winning, it is just another part of winning “I hate losing. It’s not even a question. But I have to respect losing…” “Because losing is a part of winning. You never just win. You’ve got to lose to win.” “Losing is going to hurt… To a point where you look at… How can I do things different? How can I change? How can I make this team better?” “Before you can look at someone else… You’ve got to look at yourself in the mirror. That’s how things get started. You’ve got to be willing to change.”

Gregg Popovich said, “It’s your job to make me play you.” Playing time is earned. A victim mindset says…I didn’t play because coach doesn’t like me. A winning mindset says…I didn’t play because I haven’t earned it yet. Don’t be a victim.

Kelvin Sampson: “Kids don’t choose schools anymore, they choose a coaching staff. You gotta choose the right coaching staff for you. Jarace Walker’s father is the one who started that. Give both of these kids credit, they choose to come to Houston. They both made great choices.”

Ben McCollum on “going back to his D2 days”: He explains that because he didn’t pull the largest crowds at the D2 level, he’s used to supplying energy for his team. “Be the change you want to see in others. If you want your guys to fight, you got to fight.” Energy is contagious & coaches set the tone for their program!

If you want to play college basketball, you can’t step on the court with no effort or energy. No college is recruiting players who don’t compete. That lack of effort is disrespectful to the game, your family, and everyone who believes in you.

Holding someone accountable is something you do for them— not to them. It’s one of the greatest gifts a leader can give.

This is everything “Preparation to win is much more important than the will to win. But if you combine the preparation to win and the will to win, I get chills thinking about it.” (Via @GregBerge 🎥)

Tony Bennett shares a truth about character that most people overlook. "If you want to turn people off, walk around arrogantly thinking that you own this place." "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less." It means staying grounded, keeping others first, and never stopping your growth. The most successful people don't act like they've arrived. They act like they're still becoming. (🎥UVA Basketball )

Coach K shares what it actually takes to get better. "In order to get better, you change limits." "When you change limits, you're going to look bad and you're going to fail." Growth requires pushing past what's comfortable. And that means you're going to stumble. You're going to look like you don't know what you're doing. That's not a sign you're on the wrong path - it's proof you're on the right one. Coach K would always emphasize: Failure isn't a destination. It's a checkpoint. It takes grit to keep going. Courage to try again. And the willingness to endure when it would be easier to quit. The only way to expand your limits is to test them. (🎥Bloomberg)

Before it’s a habit, it’s uncomfortable. Before it’s a habit, it’s inconvenient. Before it’s a habit, you’re bad at it. Before it’s a habit, it’s an obstacle. Before it’s a habit, it’s frustrating. Before it’s a habit, it’s difficult. Keep showing up. 🪵🪓

“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 🎥 @WDWconvo
