Buzz Williams shares how entitlement and gratitude are connected and why you can only have one.
"When entitlement is high, gratitude is low."
"Why would gratitude be low? Because you're being selfish. 'Hey, I'm supposed to get this.'"
"If ego and arrogance are a part of entitlement - which they are - then I can't function with the level of gratitude that it takes."
Then he connected the dots:
"If my entitlement is high, my gratitude is low. If my gratitude is low, then I'm not present...You see how they're connected?"
Entitlement pulls you out of the moment.
Gratitude keeps you in it.
Then he had them flip it:
"When gratitude is high, entitlement is low."
You can't be grateful and entitled at the same time.
Entitlement is the enemy of progress. It's the delusion of earning without earning.
Be grateful for the moment and the opportunity.

Transformational coaching wins.
Standards set.
Tradition builds.
"The standard creates the culture." @ChristianYelich
When coaches enforce it, it's a rule.
When players own it, it's a standard.
When everyone lives it, it's a culture.
Culture isn't built by what you preach.
It's built by what you practice.
"Success is found in the running of the race – your planning, preparation, practice, and performance – counts for everything."

One of the best things you can teach a young player:
You don't need to score to play well.
Defend.
Rebound.
Sprint.
Communicate.
Cut.
Screen.
Make the extra pass.
There are a lot of ways to impact winning.
