Getting drafted or receiving a scholarship is the culmination of the things you have accomplished through the work you’ve put in. But your future success will be challenged as it’s a new level. It now becomes the next level work physically and mentally that you commit to put in!
When a team’s best player(s) are the hardest workers, best examples, understand the importance and necessity of others roles, AND are the best teammates — that’s when you have a chance to have a special season.
Talent trying to prove their talent as their top priority will lead to frustration & regret. Talent that can blend that talent with the talents of their teammates will lead to best chance to win. It’s not each player having talents that wins. It’s the blending of those talents.
One of many things I learned coaching in the NBA for 13 years is that talent at the college level doesn’t automatically transfer to the NBA level. That talent has to keep working, keep learning, keep developing, and keep adjusting. Every new level is much harder than it looked.
Building teams is getting harder and harder with so much movement at so many of the levels. It’s so important to evaluate what fits you as the coach and fits the program you want to run. Talent alone doesn’t guarantee success. The RIGHT TALENT for you has the best chance.
To become the best you are capable of becoming is never about what you say you want to be—it’s always about what you do to become your best. Two “musts” if you truly want to become your best—must own up to what you do or don’t do—must demand that people hold you accountable.
As we see all these coaching changes I often tell coaches who are deciding on what to do: only you and your family know what is truly important to you and what you value most. In todays world many outsiders say what you should do but only you know what is best for you.
One thing so evident with the 4 teams that have reached the Final Fours (W & M): they are TRUE TEAMS. To attain anything of great significance you will need the help of others. Everyone needs everyone on each of these teams. And it appears that everyone is in it for each other!
This book by @DonYaeger is a Must Read. I sent an earlier post about it but wanted to add this as well. Elevate and Dominate | Book by Deion Sanders, Don Yaeger, John C. Maxwell | Official Publisher Page | Simon & Schuster simonandschuster.com/books/Elevate-…

I’m often asked: “how can I build my brand?” My response is always the same: first — continue to build your character, live your values, work to improve your craft, and always look to help others. My guess is that you’ll have a brand others are attracted to and you are proud of!
Enjoyed our conversation. UNCW is a special place to coach and to live. Love that the program is so successful. It’s been neat to follow from afar over the years.

Getting # of DM’s about my speaking. The 2 questions many have DM’d me on: 1) yes I speak to football programs. Have spoken to U of Florida, OK State, Carolina Panthers in past & Minnesota yesterday. 2) how many talks/year I do: 40-70 depending on how much I want to travel.
As u know I don’t post much about where I speak. Yesterday was my 25th talk this year as I spent time with @GopherFootball. What a 1st class team of athletes and culture. And I loved the time I spent with @Coach_Fleck. He’s a deep thinker with great wisdom. Elite!
Thank you for that heads up. @GanonBaker is a special human being who also happens to be a great skill development coach. And @94feetofgame is on a level second to none. You were fortunate to be in their presence and learn from them.

Honored that my book would be 1 of your 3 for this summer. I know how grueling volleyball can be. I spoke to both the @KentuckyVB the year they won it all and also to @lsuvolleyball who is working to build into a champion. Respect all it takes. All the best to @BGSUVolleyball
