Kirby Smart doesn’t talk about winning - he talks about his non-negotiables. A masterclass on standards, toughness, and relentless effort. (📌Bookmark for later)

"Bad habits have a cost. Good habits have a price. Either way you have to pay. The meaningful things- we pay for before. The foolish things- we pay for after." Winners pay upfront (sacrifice, effort, discipline). Everyone else pays later (regret). That’s the difference.

John Wooden shares a mindset that we all need to adopt every day. "Yesterday is gone. That'll never change. Tomorrow is yet to be." "How can you affect tomorrow? By today. That's the only possible way." "I tried to get each player to make each day his masterpiece." Don't get caught up in the past or worry about the future - make today your masterpiece. Then he shared advice he gave to certain players: "You've gotta put the past out. Good or bad, it's past - it'll never change. The only way you can affect the future is what you do today." You can't change yesterday. You can't control tomorrow. You only have today. Then he recited a poem by Vivian Larimore that he loved: "I've shut the door on yesterday, its sorrows and mistakes. I've locked within its gloomy walls past failures and heartaches." "And now I throw the key away to seek another room and furnish it with hopes and smiles and every springtime bloom." "I've shut the door on yesterday and thrown the key away. Tomorrow holds no fears for me, for I have found today." "Today is the day that counts. It's today." The present moment is the only place where you can truly make a difference. Don't carry yesterday's failures or worry about the unknown. Focus on what you can control.

I encourage everyone to watch this incredible documentary about one of the best to ever play the game, someone near and dear to my heart, and my former General Manager for the Lakers - the legendary Jerry West! Watch now on Amazon!

GRIT!! We need it and so do our students and athletes! TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST, TOUGH PEOPLE DO!!

30 years ago I was the starting QB at Utah State University. My senior year I got benched. For the next 15 years I walked around feeling like a certified loser. Then I read this quote from Pat Summitt: 'Winning is fun… Sure. But winning is not the point. Wanting to win is the point. Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you’ve done is the point.' It snapped me out of it. If you’re still carrying a sports setback, a benching, a missed opportunity, or any “I’m not enough” story… this is your permission slip to drop it. The game isn’t over. Your story is not yet written. You are still a work in progress. The point is you keep wanting it. You keep getting up. And you listen to that quiet voice that says, "I will try again tomorrow."

Attn college coaches: recruiting in Phoenix at the convention center made easy. High school teams here. Can’t wait to see you

Great size, good hands, and nice footwork on the blocks. A potential double-double type player every time she hits the floor. Check out this 2029 @HMichalec33 and give her a follow @abovelinehoops @Okbetweenlines @HighKeeping @PGHOklahoma
