Billy Donovan on the importance of good relationships with your teammates “You have to love your teammates…It can’t just be sharing a jersey with people in a locker room…It has to be what are my teammates going to tell their kids” (Via @GatorsFB 🎥)

John Harbaugh said, "The only failure in life is not getting back up. When you get knocked down and stay down then you're a failure. But you're never a failure if you get back up." "The only person who can make you quit is yourself." Resilience is choosing to persist.

Kelvin Sampson said, "The first step on the ladder of success is always failure." Growth starts when you stop avoiding failure - And start learning from it. "Immature people don’t understand that there is going to be failure." (@PawdSlamaJama)

THE TRICK OF LIFE "If you don't personally develop ... if you don't grow ... if you don't evolve; at a certain point in your life, your advantage is going to become your disadvantage." ~ this entire clip from @InkyJohnson is powerful and motivating!

We had a great transfer portal basketball camp at USD last weekend. One of the best parts of it was the end of camp message from NBA vet + our men’s basketball assistant coach, @Earl_Watson. Great for players, parents, and coaches in any sport to hear. Earl is a real one.

Bring your own JOY!

That was fun, but we’re chasing something bigger

Son,

As adults, we need to stop 'stealing the struggle' from our kids. When we 'steal the struggle', we steal their opportunity for growth & learning. We need to prepare them for the path (teach resilience, reflection, and self-respect), but we can't prepare the path for them.

“Your role is not who you are or what you’re capable of, it’s what your team needs you to do to win.”

Honestly, a quote that can be pretty applicable to just about anything in life.

Don't assume — instead, seek clarity. Ask questions, dig deeper, and filter out the noise. Your learning speed sets the pace for your growth—and by extension, the growth of your organization. #gB

Effort doesn't promise you success, but it creates opportunity. "You can do all the work. It's not a guarantee. Nothing is guaranteed. If you do nothing, you get nothing. If you do something, you have a chance to get something. The more you do, the more you have a chance."
