Geno Auriemma shares a must-listen on body language and how he coaches it. "We put a huge premium on body language." "If your body language is bad, you will never get in the game. Ever. I don't care how good you are." Your body language screams. It sets the tone for yourself and others. It starts with your posture, your eye contact, and your energy. They're always communicating something - whether you realize it or not. And here's why this matters more than ever: "Recruiting enthusiastic kids is harder than it's ever been. Every kid watches TV, and they watch the NBA or the NFL and what they see is people just being really cool. So they think that's how they're gonna act." The attitude comes before the ability. "Recruiting kids that are really upbeat and loving life and love the game and have this tremendous appreciation for when their teammates do something well - that's hard. That's really hard." He proved he means it with one of his best players: "Somebody says, 'Well, you benched Stewy for 35 minutes in the Memphis game.' Yeah, I did. Stewy was acting like a 12-year-old, so I put her on the bench and said, 'Sit there.'" No exceptions. Not even for All-Americans. "I'd rather lose than watch kids play the way some kids play. I'd rather lose." That's the standard his teams live. "When I watch game film, I'm checking what's going on on the bench. If somebody's asleep over there, if somebody doesn't care, if somebody's not engaged in the game - they will never get in the game, ever." Body language isn't a small thing. It's everything. It's taking ownership of yourself, your attitude, and your actions. It represents how you want to be as a teammate. (🎥ESPN )

If greatness is your desire, these 5 things must be eliminated from your mindset and guarded against in your program. Nick Saban is surely one of the great leaders of men of our time.

Don’t waste your sand ⏳. Rick Pitino is spot on. Every player’s hourglass runs out faster than they think. One day, the practices, the games, the grind - it’s all gone. Cherish every rep, every moment, every opportunity. Make today your masterpiece.

IMO, the most significant moment in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. What this communicated to the rest of the world can’t be understated. WS Games 3 (GWB 1st pitch) and 4 (L.G’s God Bless the USA) helped to heal us & brought us together more than anything in recent memory.

Dan Campbell said, "It starts over with the work. There is no complacency. There is no entitlement." "We go back to work, and that is the focus. Because, if you don't work, it doesn't matter." Success requires hard work. Look to show up and compete every day.

Not gonna lie, I tear up a little when I watch the ending to Field of Dreams 😅

Spent quite a bit of time watching college baseball this weekend. I will only watch a select few teams from here on out. Reason? They have coaches that respect the game and their opponents and demand the same of their players. Any team that doesn’t wear the uni correctly, taunts the other team, and has a coach that condones this behavior, is a disgrace to the game. Big fan of coach Schnall at Coastal Carolina! Him and his team represent what college baseball should be like. Well done, sir! U stand for proper behavior.

The fields are ready to go for two big games today. @WARRI0RBASEBALL will host Holston with Senior Day festivities before the game. Warrior Softball will also host the Cavaliers with the district regular season championship on the line. Both games have a 4 pm first pitch.

College coaches, if your job is to win, you need to recruit winners. Put down your radar guns, rapsodos, exit velocities and recruit a winner. @Dawsontuell10 is a dawg that you need in your program. #vhslclass1playeroftheyear

HS Baseball Players ⚾️ Poor body language tells everyone: YOU GAVE UP YOU CAN'T BATTLE YOU'RE NOT MENTALLY TOUGH Positive body language tells everyone: YOU WON'T GIVE UP YOU WILL BATTLE YOU'RE MENTALLY TOUGH You pick your future ‼️🙌

A Hard Truth for Parents. “If you do too much for your children, you are increasing your self-esteem by stealing theirs.” Let them struggle. Let them figure it out. The best gift you can give your kids is the belief that they can handle hard things. x.com/PsycheWizard/s…

After tonight, Bryce hopes to be able to say that he shared a bag of peanuts with a MLB Hall of Famer at the Diamond in Richmond. Good luck to SWVA native Billy Wagner as he attains Baseball immortality tonight. #copperstownbound
