Steve Kerr shares that one of the most valuable things he's learned as a coach is to stop beating himself up after failure.
"I've had to unlearn the tendency to beat myself up after failure...I'm going to lose. I'm going to make poor decisions that I regret later. But losing sleep over them and beating myself up is not at all productive."
A lot of coaches are great at helping players recover from mistakes, but many struggle to extend that same grace to themselves.
You can prepare relentlessly, care deeply, and still make decisions you wish you could take back.
The question isn't whether you'll make mistakes. Every coach does.
Similar to athletes, the question is how you'll choose to respond after them...For your players and yourself.

Shaka Smart sends recruits a 26-page document before they ever visit campus. Here's how he defines culture and why it works.
"We send them our culture doc. It's 26 pages that lays out who we want to be - who we strive every day to become."
"Culture is simply how we act, interact, and respond. That's it."
Culture isn't what you say - it's your behaviors and what you do when it counts.
It's always changing based on what's happening.
"You can have stuff up on the wall, but if it's just words on paper, it doesn't really matter. Our job is to bring it to life."
"The most important component is the people in our room."
It's always about the people. They define whether there is character, teamwork, and resilience on a daily basis

Earlier this year, we set out to better capture and preserve the history of Bath Boys Basketball by identifying former Wildcats who earned the opportunity to play basketball at the collegiate level.
Thanks to the help of our alumni and community, our list continues to grow—but

The WNBA was vulnerable. That’s how we got to all the coverage about the league being political.
If you think the #WNBA has gotten too political then you can thank 'the culture war' says @GarrettSearight. What do you think?

The new era is great for players’ Bank Accounts but we have almost completely lost the special bond between College Hoopers and College Coaches
Used to almost be a father and a lifelong mentor, which is very rarely the case anymore

Being a Division 1 Head Coach at the highest level comes with a lot of perks
“Fun” Job
Insane salary
Celebrity
However, what the common fan has trouble grasping is just how hard it is to be a good parent, spouse, sibling, and friend
It consumes you

“The culture precedes positive results. It doesn't get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand. Champions behave like champions before they're champions; they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners.” ~ Bill Walsh, Super Bowl Champion Coach, NFL HOF

“Atta boy.” That’s the phrase my dad longed to hear whenever God would welcome him home. I believe he heard it loud and clear after decades of serving so faithfully.
We are so grateful for the prayers, love and support that our family has received. We’ve really loved hearing story after story remembering my Dad. We will be honoring him and his heart for Jesus and people through a public Celebration of Life service at 10am ET on May 7th at The Church of Eleven 22 San Pablo Campus in Jacksonville, FL.
Church of Eleven22: 14286 Beach Blvd. Jacksonville, FL 32250
In lieu of flowers, our family welcomes anyone who feels led to honor Dad by supporting the work he gave his life to – sharing the Gospel around the world through the Bob Tebow Evangelistic Association (BTEA). Your gift helps carry that mission forward at btea.org.

Great read from @rustindodd on Dusty May working w/ teaching expert
He has "created a culture that is 1 part Ted Lasso, 1 part HS teacher: always curious, never judgmental
But it also represents a larger idea: the benefits of coaching like a teacher."
