After watching a week of college basketball the main thing I’ve noticed: Combo moves in a training session are a waste of time. 3pt/ reads / straight line drives / finishing with either hand should be the recipe for success.

2️⃣ Learn the 20–40–60 Rule early 20s: You worry about what people think. 40s: You stop caring what people think. 60s: You realize no one was thinking about you anyway. Freedom comes fast once this clicks.

If you spent all offseason playing pickup and small-sided games and just passed the puck to a teammate every time you got 2 defenders on you in overloaded and underloaded ways You'd spend zero money going through cones AND be insanely more valuable to the hockey marketplace

Just watched an NBA player drive a single gap. You can imagine what happened. No one’s above the laws of basketball.

“I am genuinely telling you that playing hard is a skill.” - TJ McConnell It’s controllable. It’s a choice. Talent matters. Skill matters. But effort is decided. Do you compete when you’re tired? Do you play to exhaustion?

Make catch & shoot 3s Play defense Finish off two feet You’ll play.

Dear Coaches. If you have a @Hudl camera. Record your game for the opponent who is coming to your gym and send it to them. It’s the right thing to do and doesn’t waste someone’s time sitting up there filming for no reason.

“I used to think that I could affect winning and losing. I,I,I,I I keep using that word. Then it became more of, I have very little control of winning and losing, the only thing I have control of is…am I putting them in a position every day in practice to learn how to win?” Geno Auriemma 🎥 @WDWconvo

Dan Hurley shares a blunt reminder about what it takes to be great. "If you can't sit through an hour and 15 minute video session...get out of this industry because this is only for the most competitive people." The film room isn't glamorous. It's tedious, repetitive, and easy to zone out, but that's exactly why it separates. The ones who consistently work even when it's boring are the same ones who execute when it matters. Greatness isn't for the interested - it's for the ones who embrace the boredom of consistency. (🎥@CollegeGameDay)

Exposure is a buzzword. Your 14 year old doesn’t need exposure he needs calories and the gym and a good instructor. You don’t need to expose that your kid runs a 7.5 and throws 73. Once he’s 16 or 17 make a list of 5-10 schools you’re interested in, has your desired major, and you can academically qualify for and make sure you play for a program who can call those schools to get them to show up. Everything you’ve been sold about exposure is bullshit. All the money you’re spending to travel all over the place for fake exposure is bullshit.

"There are a lot of things in life that are understandable but it doesn't mean that they are acceptable. Bad body language is soft. Every emotion is okay. Every behavior is not. It's behaviors and your ability to regulate them that's what leads to excellence...to winning."

💡 Every emotion is okay. Every behavior is not. Elite performers feel everything—frustration, disappointment, pressure. But they don’t act on impulse. They regulate. They reset. They respond with intention. Because bad body language doesn’t just show weakness… It drags the whole team down. 🧠 Emotional regulation isn’t soft. It’s the separator.

Mike Leach literally dropped the most underrated mindset for overcoming adversity:

Geno Auriemma was asked: "What do you look for in a recruit?" He named 4 things. They have everything to do with life - not basketball. Simple, repeatable, and transformational. Here's what they are and why they matter:🧵

Kelvin Sampson doesn’t mention the word talent once here. He talks about attitude, effort, body language, and being a good teammate. Because those are the habits that consistently win.

"Tough people do the next right thing. Guys, when they mess up, they have to do the next right thing." Champions don’t dwell on the last mistake— they dominate the next decision.

Phil Martelli Jr on the 24-25 Bryant team after winning the America East reg.season: "I don't believe in calling your team a family, because team is so special." "Everyone on campus is a part of a family. Not everybody gets a part of a team. That's how special of a thing it is.
