More games are lost than won. Bad turnovers.
Missed assignments.
Poor communication.
Lack of discipline.
Low-energy starts. Winning often comes down to avoiding the little things that beat you.

Coach Cal praised HPU for flying students out postgame. He added: “Administrations win championships. Coaches win games. In this era of NIL, if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t. And High Point is.” Worth the full listen.

“I get along great with every player that works hard” -Rick Pitino 99% of the time being a “coach’s favorite” rarely has to do with political bias or liking someone more - it comes down to a mutual trust between player and coach. Trust that the other will show up & bring it.

Being coachable is a competitive edge. Take feedback without flinching. Apply it without excuse. Grow without needing praise. Most players protect their ego. Winners protect their growth. Feedback isn’t an attack. It’s an advantage. Use it.

Jalen Brunson shares what separates great players from good players. "One thing that separates great players from good players is their detail. They detail the little things." "Those great players, they really take pride in just watching film, watching what they eat, and making sure they're in the best shape of their life - just to get that edge." Little details make big differences. The greats obsess over what others overlook. "A true believer is just being able to believe in yourself, being able to believe in the process - that what you're doing is the right thing for you." "I have the answers to the test. They're in my back pocket. I just need to be able to study them and know that I'm gonna do well on the test." Preparation is confidence. When you've done the work, you already have the answers and know what needs to be done. It means living the details, believing in the process, and trusting your preparation. (🎥SLAM )
