COURAGE

“I don’t know many people who paid a higher price to get started, but I did those kinds of jobs for many years to be able to stay in coaching. There were times when I despised it. It was demeaning.” (Roy Williams talking about odd jobs he did to support himself.)

PERSONAL SACRIFICE

Inner balance

Pre-game ritual

Constant improvement

“It is a big thing for me to stay fresh and balanced.”

“My satisfaction is not based on wins and losses.”

“I will never let a basketball game break my heart.”

PERSONAL RENEWAL/RITUAL

“I learned the ‘Thought for the Day’ from Coach Smith. I have a file of over 1,000 inspirational phrases collected from airline in-flight magazines, PGA golfers, letters from fans. Sometimes I’ll spend 20 minutes before a practice picking the thought the team needs to hear that day.”

Have you EVER spent 20 minutes picking a thought for the day???

RITUAL IN WORD

“One player may bounce the ball 3 times before shooting a foul, others may not bounce at all. I just wanted them to do the same thing every time they went to the foul line. Their minds would be on their own ritual – it helped them focus.”

RITUAL IN ACTION

Committed to mission and vision of something larger than self

Need to put ego asidePractice, practice, practice“Practice is a privilege.”Personal best - KPIs

HARD WORK

“I tell every prospect I recruit that I'm going to try to outwork every other coach... I like to ask prospects, "Who is recruiting you the hardest?" If they don't say me, I'm mad and I'll go back to my staff and tell them we've got to do more.”

ROY – THE WORKER

“Some thought Dean Smith was a little harder on Michael Jordan in practice than he was on other players, as if accepting his greater possibilities and his own limitless ambition and holding him to it, setting higher standards for him than for the others.

“I’m working as hard as everyone else,” Jordan answered.

“But Michael, you told me you wanted to be the best,” Williams once reminded him. “And if you want to be the best, then you have to work harder than everyone else.”

There was a long pause while Jordan pondered that. Finally he said, “Coach, I understand.”

HARD WORK PAYS OFF

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

“The games were easy. It was practice that was hard.”

WHAT JORDAN SAYS

“We win because of what happens behind closed doors.” (Duke player)

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

The more people you inspire, the more people will inspire you.

“Seconds after Laettner's shot went in, Krzyzewski rushed to the Kentucky bench to console its devastated players, three of whom were Kentucky-born seniors who stayed loyal to their school through two years of probation and Pitino's Napoleonic rule. "You guys are not losers," Krzyzewski told them.”

PASSION

“Honey, there’s just one catch,” Roy Williams telling his wife that Dean Smith had just offered him a job, “ it only pays $2700 year.

Wanda said, “That is the stupidest idea I ever heard. We just built a house, our son is 15 months old, we’re making $30,000 between us and you’re asking me to go back to UNC for $2700 a year?”

“Honey, it will work out.”Wanda, exhaling, “When do we leave?”

TRUST

“There are three things we all should do every day. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy.

But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.” ( Jim Valvano)

WORDS TO LIVE BY

“Dreams are great on paper but will not come alive unless you do the hard work to make them happen.”

“I was a top recruit in high school. Many coaches assured me I would start. But not Coach K. ‘I’m not going to promise you anything,’ he said, ‘if you come here, you have to work hard and earn everything you receive.’” (Grant Hill)
