Cannot wait to get started! @WyattSeidl @brandtrogers4

A bad coach tears people down. An average coach focuses only on results. A good coach teaches skills and systems. A great coach builds confidence and trust. An exceptional coach helps people believe in themselves at a higher level. And the best coaches impact lives long after the scoreboard stops mattering.

The 7 Baby Steps are: 1. Save $1,000 for your starter emergency fund. 2. Pay off all debt (except for the house) using the debt snowball. 3. Save 3 to 6 months of expenses in a fully funded emergency fund. 4. Invest 15% of your household income in retirement. 5. Save for your children’s college fund. 6. Pay off your home early. 7. Build wealth and give.

Geno Auriemma shares what he looks for in recruits and his non-negotiables. "When I watch them play...plays their butt off every possession. They come down here, they get a rebound, they outlet it, and they get a layup at the other end. Then they run back, block a shot, go down the other end. And they just play like that the whole game." That's the first filter - Effort. Every possession. No plays off. "Are they unselfish? Are they a great teammate?" "When they get subbed out of the game, do they go sit at the end of the bench, put a towel on? Or are they involved in the game?" He looks at your body language and how you act as a teammate. Because that shows your character. "Are they the kind of person that I want at my house for dinner? Are they the kind of kid that's gonna go to class all the time?" Effort. Unselfishness. Body Language. Great Teammate. Character. You recruit for who they are - not just what they can do. (🎥ESPN)

Geno Auriemma shares how he explains success to his players and why showing up isn't enough. "If you go to class and you do average work, you're gonna get a C. That's why it's called average." "If you want a B, you have to do more work. If you want an A, you have to do even more work and you have to give up stuff." You get what you earn in life. "You have to sacrifice. Maybe you can't do all the things that everybody else does." It means if you want more then you have to be willing to do more. "If you're just happy getting Bs all your life, there's nothing wrong with that either. But you're never gonna get the satisfaction of what it feels like to get an A." Then he connected it to basketball: "If you just wanna be average, then you do average work. If you wanna be a little bit above average then you do a little more work." "If you wanna get As in basketball, then you gotta do stuff that other people aren't willing to do - especially if you have the talent like we do. We have talent." It means bring a mindset of excellence to everything that you do. Excellence isn't the goal - it's the standard you set. Then he called out the entitlement problem: "Some of these younger guys coming out of high school, man, they wanna show up and go, 'I'm here. Where's my 3.7?'" "Like my father used to say, 'I got your 3.7 right here.'" Showing up doesn't earn you anything. Doing the work does. You get the grade you earn - in school, in basketball, and in life. It's easy to be average...successful people look to compete in everything they do. (🎥UCTV Sports )

Losing Lou Holtz isn’t just a loss—it’s a transfer of responsibility. At some point, you stop being shaped… and start shaping others. What he gave me doesn’t stop with me.

There’s two types of coaches in this game: 1️⃣ The Developers They love the grind. They see a raw 10th grader and think, “Give me two years.” They build habits, mindset, discipline, confidence. They don’t just coach talent — they build it. 2️⃣ The Flex Coaches They want the 4-star already polished. They post the offers. They celebrate the wins. But they skip the ugly stages the drops, the bad footwork, the immaturity, the weight room growth. Here’s the truth though… Real ones develop. And when development turns into production? That’s when you flex. The best coaches I’ve seen don’t chase finished products. They create them. So the real question isn’t which one are you… It’s which one are your players becoming because of you? Are they better after a season with you? Stronger mentally? More disciplined? More accountable? That’s development.
