Grit

Grit is passion and perseverance over a long term period of time to achieve a goal.

Grit is living life like a marathon not a sprint.

Talent does not make you gritty

Grit is often unrelated or inversely related to talent level

Growth Mindset, failure is not a permanent state.  You can grow, it can change.

We must be willing to fail and learn in order to get better.

Difference between Football coaches and Basketball Coaches

Basketball Coaches play 82 games a year

Football coaches play 16

Less margin for error, more detail oriented.

Garagos first thing i want to know when I defend someone in court

I don't want to hear their side of the story,  I want to hear what the prosecution has against my client because that's what I have to worry about.

Selfish vs Unselfish: MAKE THE RIGHT PLAY

In basketball too much is made about unselfish vs selfish plays.

Missed a pass= you're selfish

Passed up a shot= you're too unselfish

How about this, instead of being selfish or unselfish, MAKE THE RIGHT PLAY.

Nobody calls a quarterback selfish or unselfish, they simply base his performance on completions vs interceptions.  Decision Making= did you make the correct play?

The two assumptions you must make as a coach

1. Everyone you will play is better and smarter than you= so you must play in a way that allows you to beat them.

2. You are the most experienced mind on your team= therefore you must show your players how to play before you can expect them to play that way.
