As a former manager, this is an awesome piece on the special relationship you have with the players. these guys are some of the hardest working people and never get enough credit. As we always say, everyone’s effort helps US win, nice to see this manager get some love!.
Last week, when Jordan Poole was asked how he improved on ball-handling, he was quick to credit a student manager he'd become close with. Here's how the two worked together to facilitate that improvement:

Backbone of the program! In a million little ways, they make the biggest difference. Couldn’t do my job without these guys @UmichBballMGRs.
There are truly no words to describe the dedication and commitment of the managers we have. We don’t know how to thank them, however, we want them to know they are a HUGE part of our success . #GoBlue 〽️🏀

Try not to be a generic retweeter but this REAL right here. In life, the greatest joy comes from being on a team. Your family is a team. Your relationships are teams. Roles are important, working together to do something special is what it’s all about.
"If you don't want to play a role, play tennis or play golf.". "Some of the best players to ever play the game came off the bench". Love these tidbits from Lebron to his son's AAU team. (via @BleacherReport)

Learned a ton about leadership,grit,& work ethic from @Xaviersimpson3 . Saying he’s unique is an understatement; X is built differently & has an infectious ability to make any team he is on,in any walk of life, better. Wherever his next step takes him,that’s exactly what he’ll do.
Every day, Zavier Simpson raced the sun. Now, a generation of kids does the same. Latest @RookieWire, I profiled Michigan senior Zavier Simpson (@Xaviersimpson3), his journey out of Lima, Ohio and why he comes home:.

The courage/sacrifice to leave your job @Suns to chase something bigger than yourself was inspiring. Words can’t express how much I respect the heart, hustle & energy you gave to others. You’ve always turned obstacles to opportunities. The next one will be BIG!.

Always like to hear the championship players and coaches after winning it all. always seems to be themed. The cliches become cliches b/c every champion says them. Every champ says them because they are true. Attention to detail, we > me, effort, etc. Some say it, winners live it.
"I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day.". Julian Edelman finished the game with 10 catches, 141 yards, and one Super Bowl MVP.
