Summary

So, what does it take to WIN at the absolute HIGHEST LEVEL? It’s a complex question with anything but simple answers. But this week, you’ll hear from somebody who knows EXACTLY what it takes from one of the best coaches on the planet. DAN HURLEY is the head coach at the UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT, where he guided the team to the 2023 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP, reaching the top ranks of college basketball after more than 20 years of paying hard-earned dues. If Dan’s name sounds familiar, it may also be because he comes from one of the game's most famous basketball coaching families. His father is NAISMITH HALL OF FAMER BOB HURLEY SR., and his older brother, Bobby, was one of DUKE’S greatest point guards who played several seasons in the NBA and is currently the head coach at Arizona State. I wanted to know what it takes to build a program from the ground up, which Dan has done at WAGNER, RHODE ISLAND, AND UCONN. The best part of hearing Dan’s approach for each of these programs is that we cover skills and strategies you can use to win the big games in your life, too. Dan and I go into a full-court press with game notes on: Why DEFINING CULTURE is the most important thing you can do The importance of PACING yourself How to COMMUNICATION during pressure-filled situations. Building RELATIONSHIPS based on TRUST and BELIEF Why WINNING is not the ultimate EMOTION The role of FAITH, MEDITATION, MORNING ROUTINE, MARRIAGE, and FAMILY play in Dan’s life The secret to being able to COMPETE at the highest levels Dan Hurley is a coach who plays ABOVE THE RIM. You rarely get such a candid take on the PRESSURE, GRIT, and MINDSET of what goes on behind the scenes of building a top-level program and championship teams, and Dan will tell you precisely how to use his blueprint to elevate your own game as well!
