Creating a culture in my room where my guys feel comfortable sharing the things they aren't confident in doing, so we can work on it in practice. I know I was deathly afraid of my coach knowing my insecurities. Expose it now so you don't get exposed later!
Loved being home in CA for the past couple of weeks. Lots of great young men and top-notch coaches to guide them. Until next time, fam. It's back to work in DSM.

In every role you hold, whether manager, peer or subordinate, approach it with the attitude "how can I make THEIR lives easier/better" and you'll have success.
A big part of mentorship is framing events and information for the optimal outcome/response. Turning what could be a firehose of emotion into a single shot of energy and laser focus.
Recruiting is an elimination game. First things that will get you dropped are grades and character. Film won't matter if you can't get the first 2 checks.

Deep thought Sunday: Consider the best chefs in the world. Every dish they produce includes the best ingredients available, and each item has a specific purpose for that dish. Nothing wasted, everything adds value. That's my mentality in recruiting.

As a coach/mentor of young men, the only things I tear down are toxic egos, bad habits, and lies my players believe about themselves.
