Kenny Dillingham delivers a raw message on excellence and what average really looks like. "It was a really, really bad day on offense. And it all stems from the passion we play with." "Is it okay to not make a play? And if you accept it, then you accept it and that's who you're gonna be." Then he laid out the truth: "Don't be mad going 5-7. It's okay. Don't be mad going 6-6. Don't be mad going 3-9. 'Cause somebody has to go those records. There's gonna be tons of teams who do it. Why not us?" If you accept average, you'll become average. "We didn't practice bad - we didn't practice with passion." "The best teams - it matters all the time. You wanna win everything. And today we didn't have that mindset." They look to compete every single day. They win because they have a winning mindset. "We didn't wanna win. We wanted to practice. And those are 2 different mindsets to me." Then he dropped the line: "It was a good practice for a bad team. It was an average practice for an average team. That's what today was." This is what the mindset of excellence looks like: "We didn't practice with passion." → Good isn't good enough. "It matters all the time." → Standards never take a day off. "It was a good practice for a bad team." → Champions demand more. (🎥@LaCertosaSports)
