If you put your effort and concentration and to play into your potential to be the best that you can be,

I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book, we're going to be winners.

The talent for so many players today, the talent and the spotlight, it's taking them to heights that their character's not strong enough to support.

I'm one of those set goals achievements.

I talked about faith, passion, obviously the drive with the guys that I've been around,

and the guys that surround me every single day.

If I want to be one of the best, I've got to play with and against the best.

So that which gets praised gets repeated.

Thank you, and then you're listening to The Hardwood Hustle, brought to you by PGC Basketball. Thank you, we're tuned in. You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle.

But before we do, let's say a quick shout out to our friends. Hustlers, we've got some things you don't want to miss.

Thanks our friends over Team Snap for today's communication tip of the episode. This week, coaches,

I'd like to remind you that every word matters. As you go through your week, I like to challenge

you to think, what if every word you spoke to

your players were the very thing that they kept with them for the rest of their life? Let me repeat that.

Every word you spoke to your players was the very thing that they kept with them the rest of their

life. There's a chance that could be true. There could be something you say to your players that they kept with them the rest of their life. There's a chance that could be true.

There could be something you say to your players

that they never are able to shake.

It lives with them forever.

Understanding that, we're reminded of the responsibility,

but also the opportunity we have as a coach.

So this week I'd like to challenge you
