HEALTHY BALLER

Dan Hurley on the two personas every head coach must master: The Jockey 🏇, and the Corner Man. 🥊 In practice — you are the jockey. You push. You challenge. You demand more than they think they have. You stretch them past comfort so execution becomes inevitable. On game night — you become the corner man. You steady. You simplify. You remind them who they are. Confidence replaces correction. Preparation is where you build them. Performance is where you believe in them.

Great story from Coach K on running into a former camper and the lesson this man carried with him. Coach K asked all the kids at the camp... "Who do you talk to the most?" “Yourself… so when you talk to yourself, why not be yourself's best friend?” A lot of performers are entertaining an internal voice that’s critical, impatient, and unforgiving. We say things to ourselves we’d never say to a teammate and then we expect confidence, consistency, and composure to follow. You're in a lifelong conversation with yourself. Make it one worth having. 📹: Sons and Daughters Podcast

How most people view their dads..

You are never too important to be nice to all people.

Billy Donovan shares a lesson that changed how his players thought about winning. At Florida, he had a manager track how long the ball was in each player's hands during a game. He asked one of his starters: "How many minutes do you think you had the ball in your hands for the game?" The player said 15 minutes when he had played 30. The real numbers? "A backcourt player, for the most part, is probably 92% of the game gonna be played without the ball in their hands. A frontcourt player - 95% of their minutes is gonna be played without the ball in their hands." Think about that. You're playing without the ball almost the entire game. "It's amazing to me how many players focus on points, points, points. That's what goes on ESPN. That's what gets the highlights." "But if you're gonna strictly talk about winning and you're really driven and motivated by winning and competing and being a good teammate, you have to look at the fact is -- what am I doing with my 92, 93, 94, 95%?" "Am I screening? Am I running the floor? Am I on the floor for loose basketballs? Am I rebounding? Am I taking a charge?" "There's so many ways to impact the game with the amount of time you're on the floor when the ball's not in your hands." This is what separates good players from winning players. You control how you show up. You control your attitude. You control your effort. Great teammates master what they do when no one's watching - and when the ball isn't in their hands. Winning isn't about the glamour. It's about the 95%. (🎥@Coaching_U ) (🎥@brendansuhr)

@VerizonSupport @swiftafboiiii My phone is in sos mode all of a sudden as well. What’s going on?

@swiftafboiiii Keeping our customers connected is important to us, we never want you relying on Wi-Fi. Help is here, please send us a DM with the affected zip code to best evaluate the situation. ~Brian

@Verizon @VerizonSupport Please explain why this constantly happens? I can’t do anything with this phone if I’m not in WiFi bc it puts itself in SOS quite often. Others with Verizon in my area are experiencing the same thing. Why?

@NicThomasNBA He’s currently 6’9.5 and 190lbs.

Oladotun is a wiry wing with plenty of length and size (6’7”). His movement is incredibly fluid and he projects as an elite defender, should he be able to add to his 165 lbs frame.

@1on1Basketball Congrats!!!

That feeling of winning a Gold Medal!! 55+ 3on3 National Champions!! Might need a week to recover but it is worth it! 🥇

The amount of teams/coaches still making college athletes wake up at 6 am (or earlier) to train, lift, & practice is 🤯🤯🤯. The data are incredibly clear here. Bad idea.

You are responsible for your role on the team.

“If you want to be successful, you need to be bad. Then you need to be good and when you are good, you need to fail. When you fail, you’re going to figure it out. There is a process. There are steps you need to fill. There are no shortcuts, it’s a journey,” Nikola Jokic

@greivisvasquez Let’s go @greivisvasquez !!!

I’m with you. It’s time to bring the real Maryland Blood 🩸 back again.

Advice I would give to basketball athletes after watching this NCAA tourney… PRIORITZE THE WEIGHT ROOM! 🏋️‍♂️💪

@Matt_McGavic Great work!!!

Wow. Louisville center Aly Khalifa has had an incredible transformation during his rehab process. Strength coach Eli Foy has done an amazing job.

If teenage athletes want to take a big step forward in development, it's wise to try to “out-sleep” and “out-eat” their peers. These two things are powerful "magnifiers" of everything they do in skill development and strength and conditioning.

Always be a professional in your profession. The details, promptness, organization, and communication. Your product is a reflection of what you do every day.
