This can be a tough time of the year in the profession of coaching. For every staff that’s excited about getting a job there is a staff without a job. Don’t let the competition make us lose sight that we are people first. Check up on somebody today and make sure they are good.

Brad Stevens was once asked what he would do if he was dealing with a difficult player who wasn’t buying in. “I would rebound for him.” If you want someone to follow you, show them you care.

A common misconception about the term players Coach is that the Coach let’s the players do what they want. No the players have a voice and as Coach I value their opinion because they are the the 🔑 components to success not me.
