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 and chiefs.

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 with beautiful.

Thank you for tuning in. You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle brought to you by PGC Basketball. Thank you for tuning in.

You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle broadcast here in Atlanta, Georgia at the Buford Showcase,

sponsored by Blue Collar Basketball and the legendary coach Sam Allen, who's with me today.

Filling in for T.J. Roseanne, Sam, we are joined by the legend, Gene Durdin, and his son, Kobe, who, if you're not familiar with girls basketball, especially in Atlanta area.

I mean, their record speaks for themselves. Gene has won six different championships, three out of the last four, and has been to eight out of the last ten.

So you're talking about just a legendary program. And now you've got your son

coaching alongside. First of all, how long have you, first of all, thanks for being with us.

All right. We appreciate it. How long have you been with your dad on staff?

This will be my fifth year. Oh, wow. Okay. So you're a veteran now. I wouldn't say veteran.

I like to say an intern. I've been learning a lot.

Still an intern. See, that is a learning mindset, Sam, one that you will appreciate five years on staff,

and he's still saying he's an intern. Still just trying to soak it all in. I want to ask you, Gene,

first off, you still got the fire for coaching? mean you've done it all right like oh no doubt
