@readswithravi Nick Saban said, "If you want to be good, you really don’t have a lot of choices because it takes what it takes." "You have to make choices and have the discipline, focus on the process of what you need to do to accomplish your goals."

Athletic competition is a gift from God, an arena where we overcome life’s hardest battles when the stakes are relatively small. It shapes our response to pressure, failure, adversity, & it prepares us to stand firm, grow stronger & handle what truly matters when it counts most.

Aaron Glenn said, "Culture is about people." "The best form of leadership is influence. The guys we brought in, they really influence everybody within this organization, within this team." Your culture is demonstrated every day through your attitudes, behaviors, and values.

Any time you can throw an advance pass before half court, it’s like Gold” Sean Miller on playing fast (Via @BigOnBasketball 🎥)

“You’re not allowed to give excuses because excuses are a sign of weakness. We give no excuses when we fail. Failure is just fertilizer to help us grow as a team,” Rick Pitino Excuses are yours to make. Standards are yours to own. Your choice matters.

Watching a PG dominate a game by passing the ball is special to watch - in a world so hyper focused on scoring, it’s amazing to watch a player dominate by PASSING.

Steve Nash shares the truth about the journey to greatness. "You don't have to be the chosen one." "The secret is to build the resolve and spirit to enjoy the plateaus - the times when it doesn't feel like you're improving and you question why you're doing this." Most people quit during the plateau. Learn to embrace it. "If you're patient, the plateaus will become springboards." Progress isn't linear. The flat moments aren't wasted - they're building. "Never stop striving, reaching for your goals until you get there." "But the truth is, even when you get there - even when you get here, standing on this stage - it's the striving, fighting, pushing yourself to the limit every day that you'll miss and you'll long for." "You'll never be more alive than when you give something everything you have." The destination isn't the reward - the journey is. Enjoy the process and fall in love with the climb because that's where life happens.

"I think we have got a great responsibility. I think any great player wants to be coached hard. Coaches take players to levels that they cannot take themselves." Don't seek praise. Seek to be pushed. Greatness demands both responsibility and accountability.

Winning teams have high character. - They make good choices. - They lead by example. - They show gratitude. “The true athlete should have character, not be a character.” - John Wooden

Coachable players leave their egos at the door.

PLAYERS: "You don't ever judge how you play by how you shoot the ball or how many points you score. You always judge how good you play by how your effort and whether you play to the best of your ability and you executed.” ~ Geno Auriemma video from @Jammer2233

Peyton Manning on Leadership 🔥. “It’s never just about you… the best teams I played on, the best players practiced the hardest.” Playing FOR each other is contagious. It is what being a great teammate is all about. 🎥 Peyton Manning/ND Football

“This is a game that requires sacrifice, dedication, discipline and focus. It’s game of failure, it teaches you teamwork, it teaches you humility. The one common thread is that we understand there’s no individual bigger than the game,” Derek Jeter It’s bigger than you.

“What they value is what we teach every day. I think they value players that compete really hard, players that know how to win, know how to play together with other good players, know how to work in practice. Can be coached by any coach, coached hard,” Geno Auriemma

The arrogance of success is believing that what we did yesterday is good enough for tomorrow. There comes a time when the moment demands your discipline & what you’ve been doing daily, consistently over time. Success you earned yesterday won’t matter. It’s right now that counts!

“Winning is not a sometime thing, it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you have to figure out how to win all the time,” Bob Knight Winning is what you do, not what you get.

Maturing in basketball is understanding and realizing how important every single possession is
