Dawn Staley shares a coaching and parenting truth that most people get wrong.
"I'm very different than your parents because your parents don't want you to fail, and they don't want you to be uncomfortable."
You can't steal the struggle for others.
"They do everything in their power to make sure you don't feel the pain that they felt growing up. And it's probably the biggest mistake because they're gonna fail."
Love isn't protecting someone from struggle - it's preparing them for it.
"I tell them, 'I love you enough to allow you to fail.' I do."
"I love you enough to allow you to hurt. I love you enough for you to have a bad game or bad month or even a bad season."
You can't grow without failures, mistakes, and setbacks. That's where true growth happens.
"And that's not just basketball, that's just anything. You're gonna have bad days that you're gonna have to just fight."
The greatest gift you can give someone isn't comfort. It's the ability to handle discomfort.
Optimize for resilience, not comfort. That's what prepares them for anything.
