"The best teams that I played on, our best players practiced the hardest" -Peyton Manning

COACH SABAN ON TRUTH “The hardest part is we have to believe the truth when someone tells us we need to improve on something . . . if you don’t you’ll never improve.”

Tom Brady said, "When you're one of the leaders of the team, there are no days off." - Leadership is earned. - Leadership is every day. - Leadership is a lifestyle. Leaders set the tone each and every day. Be a tone-setter. Be a leader.

"On bad teams players fight their role. On good teams players accept their role. On great teams players embrace their role." -Joe Dumars

Mediocre teams have "cool" players. Great teams have coachable players.

Ten things mentally tough athletes don’t do in games: 1. Make excuses 2. Complain 3. Give up 4. Get distracted 5. Lose their temper 6. Panic 7. Dwell on mistakes 8. Get complacent 9. Stay in their comfort zone 10. Play selfishly

This sums up playing time perfectly. Players think... "play me and I'll show you." Coaches think.. "show me & then I'll play you.” Coaches evaluate practice every day. That's your "show time." Be consistent & execute all the little things. Make plays, barrel balls, throw

Your coaches will watch you this off season. It tells them a lot about who’s committed to improving & who’s only interested when it’s convenient. No secrets & no shortcuts. You can only improve when you understand that every single day spent preparing with your teammates matters!

PLAYERS: Just because you work harder than someone else doesn't mean you'll win, get more playing time, be praised, get attention, or achieve your individual goals. But not working hard makes those things nearly impossible in the long run. Be consistent and don't give up.

When do Team Leaders need to step up? - Sloppy practices - Negativity in the air - The team is in trouble - Teammate acting poorly - Teammates take shortcuts - Teammate selfish behavior - Teammate bad mouths others - Teammate obsessed with self Be the Leader your Team needs.

Talent isn’t enough Athleticism isn’t enough Mental toughness isn’t enough Technique isn’t enough Strategy isn’t enough To be the best, you must be well-rounded and have the whole package!

One of the best ever! Congrats.

Great coaches push you. Correct you. Challenge you. Not to tear you down, but to raise you up. Growth isn’t easy. It’s reps, setbacks, and hard truths. But that’s how transformation happens. Be coachable. You’re not being punished—you’re being prepared.

Congrats Devonte!
