Your Coaches Know This. Do You?

Maybe your coaches shared this with you. Rewatch it. 

Lives well-lived come with the cost of handling adversity. Few people have an 'anteambulo', someone to clear the path for them. 

At the Hall of Fame induction recently, Coach Serino explained the success of Frantzdy Pierrot. He always works at his game. He never tired of doing whatever it takes to become elite, to become a professional. That's how he earned the right to compete against Lionel Messi and other top footballers. 

South Carolina and USWNT Coach Dawn Staley didn't immediately prosper in college at Virginia. She realized that to earn success, she had to study as hard as she worked at basketball. 

Coach Doc Rivers remembered what his parents taught him during the Donald Sterling racism scandal with the Los Angeles Clippers. "Never allow yourself to become a victim." 

Assistant Coach Roy Williams asked Michael Jordan at UNC, "How hard are you prepared to work?" Jordan answered, "I will work as hard as any player ever at Carolina." Williams answered, "you have to work harder than that." 

Master pizza chef Chris Bianco said that when he relocated to Phoenix from New York City, he knew two things. "I could be kind and I could work as hard as any person I ever met." 

"The magic is in the work."
