Hey coaches, before we get going today, I want to extend an invitation to you. Do you struggle with

building a championship culture, getting your players to communicate on the court, maximizing your

practice time and bringing out the best in all your players? We all struggle in at least a few of these

areas. And that's why over 1,500 coaches a year from all levels of play attend one of our

summer or fall PGC courses to learn these

things. And coaches consistently tell us spending a week at PGC is one of the most useful and

beneficial investments they've ever made in their coaching career. In fact, coaches consistently tell

us their team culture changes, their players improve faster, and they they enjoy coaching more and they win more.

At your PGC course, you'll attend all the classroom, video, and court sessions just like the players.

You'll also benefit from daily interactions with the course director and in-session huddles with other like-minded coaches.

If you're ready to take your coaching and your team to New Heights next season, go to PGCbasketball.com, find a summer or fall course near you and sign up. That's pgcbasketball.com. If you put your effort, concentration, and the playing to your potential to be the best that you can beat, 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 chiefness. 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. Okay, so that which gets praised, gets repeatedly. You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle, brought you by PGC basketball. Thank you, and we're tuning in. You're listening to The Hardwood Hustle. I'm your host, Adam Bradley, joined alongside by my guy, T.J. Roseine, Broadcasting here in Duncan Falls, Ohio at the elite coaches clinic. We have a special guest for you, but before we do, let's catch up with our friends over a shot tracker. Yeah, what gets measured, gets done. Coaches, if you're not, you need to be diving into analytics. You need to be measuring things for your team. Why would you give up that edge when you can have that edge? Go check out our friends over at ShotTracker. So, TJ, we just finished actually listening. We speak later this afternoon, but we had the opportunity to sit in in a session this

morning here at the clinic and Coach Babe, Kwasnast. Quasniak. I said it perfectly earlier, right?

I guess that's why people, pressure did get to me. I guess that's why people abbreviated and just

call you Coach Kwas. That's it, Adam. Yep. So incredible hour that you just spend up there sharing kind of your story, not only just as a coach, but your story of the military and how you've risen to the ranks there. First of all, I appreciate you taking a few minutes. I know you've got a busy schedule and you've got to travel later today, so I appreciate you taking the time with us. But how you doing? Okay.
