Mitch Johnson shares the biggest lesson he learned from Gregg Popovich. "How important people and relationships are." "He understands people and relationships and the significance of every moment and every touch point with every person." The best leaders and coaches invest in people. Then he explained what investing in people really looks like: "That can be having to yell and hold someone accountable. And that can be to put your arm around someone's shoulder and love 'em." The best leaders combine high standards with high support. "He did it better than anybody, I think, that's ever walked the sidelines." "I will attempt to do it my way in whatever that looks like moving forward." Great leadership isn't one style. It's knowing your people well enough to give them what they need. Invest in the relationships. Care about people, hold them to their potential, and lead in your style. (🎥 KENS5 - San Antonio)

This is very good

High school sports aren’t a participation trophy. Age and class don’t guarantee anything. The best players play because they help teams win, and coaches owe it to the team to put the strongest lineup on the field.

Following tonight's 43-point loss to No. 18 Illinois, #Mizzou HC Dennis Gates says he told his team he'll stand on the railroad tracks & take whatever comes his way to shield his guys. He did emphasize HEALTH is playing a big role, right now. "This game is on me...don't feel bad about it. Respond to it." More from Coach Gates below!

Kon Knueppel on playing off two feet: “It evens out the athleticism…I’m not super athletic, so being able to play off two feet..now they have to be ready for a shot fake or a pivot. It kind of evens the playing field.” (Via @JeremyGrandiso1 🎥)

A high school basketball team won’t win championships on talent alone. It wins because of: - Communication on defense. - Effort in the little things nobody notices. - Sacrificing personal stats for the good of the team.

Marcus Freeman said, "You waste time daydreaming about an uncertain future. Who cares?" "The future is uncertain. So focus on being the best version of you today." No one wins tomorrow. They win today - one rep, one habit at a time. (@tbhorka)

RESPONDING TO MISTAKES "I'm letting the team down because I turned the ball over ... missed a shot ... blew a defensive assignment. No, you're letting the team down when it parlays into 4 or 5 possessions after that. Pick yourself up... You're playing a game that's imperfect."

University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson tells his players to do one thing after every practice: "What is it that you learned today? Write it down. So you don't forget it.... Our job is not coaches. We coach during the game. But in practice every day, you're a teacher."

Every team has roles. 🎭 Step 1: Know your role. Step 2: Embrace your role. Step 3: Star in your role. And if you don’t like your current role? That’s fine. Work for the role you want — but do it while starring in the role you have. That’s how you earn trust, respect, and opportunity. 🎥 Watch the entire talk here: youtu.be/bbvUgYvbxy4?si…

Tom Izzo said, "You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in." "That's the American way except America has gotten soft." You don't get what you want, you get what you earn. It starts with hard work. (@CBBonFOX)

Many are capable, few are COMMITTED. Mike Tomlin nailed it. It’s not about what you’re capable of - it’s about what you’re willing to do. Many people have talent, but commitment and excellence are rare. Commit, show up, do the work, and stack the days.

Generational. If I’m Central, A&T, or even ECU, Charlotte or App State, I’m making those calls NOW before one of the big boys do.
