“When you start building a program and build your foundation in toughness, that’s not an easy thing to do. It’s one thing to say, it’s another to live it every single day. Toughness isn’t about fighting people. Toughness is a mental aspect to the way you approach every day,”

Instead of waking up and looking to “get what we deserve”, let’s wake up and look to see who we can SERVE! ~ via Coach Hines 🇺🇸

Nick Saban: "We're not going to talk about what we're going to accomplish. We're going to talk about how we're going to do it." Focus on the HOW: How will we practice? How will we treat teammates? How will we respond to adversity? How will we win?

"Hard work is not punishment; it's the price of admission for the opportunity to reach a standard of sustained excellence." (Jay Bilas)

Basketball is a sport of fundamentals. Coaching is an art of trust. - Teach them the game, but let them make mistakes. - Hold them accountable, but show them you care. - Give them structure, but allow them freedom within it.

Build a team with discipline, hard work, and trust. Build a culture with accountability, respect, and purpose.

The best players don’t just play the game—they *study* it. Film room matters. Footwork matters. Spacing matters.

🚨HOLY SHIT. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell just announced the economy under Donald Trump has led to fewer job gains, higher unemployment, higher inflation, AND a lower GDP than Biden: “1.5% down from 2.5% last year." This is huge embarrassment for Trump.

For all the players that follow this account -- don't give your coach a choice in playing you - get on the floor - take charges - offensive rebound - follow the scout perfectly - dominate your role - be a great teammate - take great shots - don't turn it over - be tough

I am convinced that there are three types of energies that championship teams have. 1. Positive energy 2. Competitive energy 3. Team-first energy When you have all three, you have something special.

Your morning routine is a major separator! Win the am!

Force your opponent out of their normal shots from their offense. Make them take shots they're not comfortable with and used to.

Nick Sirianni said, “There’s something dangerous about a team that doesn’t stop playing.” Resilience is a choice. It’s a choice to persist, endure, and adapt. It requires mental toughness, mental flexibility, and self-awareness.
