These girls were nice enough to give me this experience for the 2nd time in 3 years. I’ll never take it for granted and I’ll always admit it’s because of them. There are so many coaches that are A LOT better than me without one. I am lucky to have these young ladies in my life 🔰

Billy Donovan opens up about the cost of chasing validation through achievements.
“I was depressed because I lost total sight of what it’s all about…If it’s all about the ring and the trophy, you lose the most valuable thing…the group of people and the relationships that are established.”
If your identity becomes consumed by the rings and championships, inevitably you’ll lose the very thing that makes the achievement meaningful and the journey fulfilling.
The people, the relationships, and the shared purpose.

High school basketball success comes down to three things:
- Playing harder than anyone expects you to.
- Playing smarter than your opponents prepare for.
- Playing together when the game is on the line.
The flag fb season is FLYING by! We are six games in and we have been fortunate to go 1-0 six times.

If a coach quote-posts a student-athlete to provide exposure for recruiting, are they breaking Kansas law or is it beyond the scope of intended legislation?
Please help with clarification. If true, it’s killing our ability to help KS prospective athletes. @KansasDems @KansasGOP

Rick Pitino was asked what stops people from being great. His answer was one word.
"Ego stops greatness. I call it edging greatness out."
"In a spiritual sense, ego is edging God out. But ego is edging greatness out."
And he made a key distinction:
"I'm not talking about confidence. You have to be a confident person."
"But ego really gets you to where you think you've arrived. You think you know it all. You stop learning. You stop listening."
That's the trap. Confidence keeps you hungry. Ego convinces you that you've already made it. You lose your hunger and humility.
"Learning and listening are important for great leaders. Great leaders have to listen and they have to continue to learn and surround themselves with people that are better than them."
EGO = Edging Greatness Out
The moment you think you've arrived is the moment you stop growing.
Stay confident. Stay humble. Never stop learning.

The Fritz family can coach a little bit!!
Willie Fritz' former players love telling war stories. But they love him even more.
“I think it is a shame that he doesn’t get the flowers that he should."
On the best coach in college football that no one talks about.
