There was a lot of talk the other day about Juwan Howard mopping up the floor during a game (servant).
Now, peep this video of his kids during post game.. look at the eye contact on every (firm) handshake. That program is clearly doing things the right way

Dabo Sweeney just said, "They can prepare for what we do, but not who we are."

Coach Staley’s ability to unapologetically stay true to self all while inspiring a world of people is incredible. Keys weren’t handed to her, she took them, and I personally love the way she has tackled all obstacles. As a witness, I’m thankful.

Parents (esp. of young athletes), when u get n the car, living room, or wherever u have your 🏀 talks w/ your kids, PLEASE talk less ab scoring & more ab defense, effort, rebounding, challenge their IQ, etc.

Recruits, don’t get discouraged if u don’t get an initial offer to a school. I can’t speak for all, but for our staff, we pride ourselves on getting to know the person & their families. And, sometimes that takes time. Stay the course & build with authenticity. Good will follow

No matter how good of a prep career you had, the transition from high school ball to college is tough! It takes a certain type of work ethic and confidence to be special early in your college career.
Advice: out work the rest in practice, weights, and film

To the student athletes.. Live in the moment and enjoy whatever time you have left with family. Then change that mindset and look forward to getting back to the grind. Remember, you chose this life. So get focused and finish what you’ve started. Make your family proud.

Raina Perez (NC State) story is so wild to me. Very light recruitment out of high school. Goes lower D1 n shines. Transfers to Mid D1 n shines. Now starting for top 4 team in the country n shining.
This is VERY rare. Most can’t transfer up to that level and so well. Props!

Now that club 🏀 season is over.. players, put the 🏀 down for a bit. Rest your body. Rest your mind. Catch up w/ non teammate friends. RELAX!
Parents/Coaches/Trainers, allow them this time to reset. Without question, they need it. Hell, you probably need it too

Recruits, when deciding on a school, I give u these three tips..
1. Choose a school where you genuinely feel that the relationships built will be lifelong, not just for four years
2. Choose a school that makes you a priority
3. Follow YOUR heart.. When you know, you know!!

Seeing some kids following the glitz of these “elite” club teams the same way some chase the glitz of collegiate programs… missing opportunities because schools can’t get an eval on you because you don’t play..
Getting your game off is vital at both levels.

Hard work doesn’t automatically warrant success. Hard work gives you the best shot at an opportunity. What you deserve, you don’t always get; and that’s okay. What’s for you will always be for you. Find joy in the process and never fold!

Parents, please stop forcing your kids to play a sport (or an instrument, profession, etc.), because their lack of love for it really shows when they get away from you. Hard to excel in something you don’t have a passion for.

2. Skill! (Athleticism, often times, will get you there, but skill will KEEP you there)
See YOU soon.

Rookie coach asked how 2 b a good assistant. My response...
“I have no clue! But what I know is this.. I must be a giver (players & HC). I must outwork others. I must put my ego 2 the side (not always easy). Most importantly, I must be me!”
I attack work just how I attack life

This am, I saw a young lady catch the ball @ half court, take 2 dribbles & attempt a dunk… in game… never broke stride… she missed it, but only because she lost grip; she was def high enough
Crazy part was that no one really tripped on it. Shows how far our game has come

It’s okay to not be poppin right now. To not have the job you want. To not drive the car you want. To not have all the glitz. Invest your time, energy, money in your growth and in due time, you’ll reap more than you could have imagined.
