“Every second that these kids are on campus I’m going to push them to be the best. The best young man they can be, the best student they can be. I’m going to teach them how to win and succeed. These are things they can take with them in life,” Dan Hurley

Excellent coaches teach more than skill, strategy, or athleticism.
Everyone benefits from having a coach. Atul Gawande wrote about having a coach in the operating room. Rafael Nadal has a coach, as does Serena Williams.
Commentator Heywood Hale Broun said, "Anybody who teaches a skill, which coaches do, is admirable. But sport doesn’t build character. Character is built pretty much by the time you’re six or seven. Sports reveals character. Sports heightens your perceptions. Let that be enough."
Coaches teach teamwork, leadership, accountability, sportsmanship, resilience and more. Coaches help players via networking.
Become your own coach. Assess and reinforce strengths and overcome weaknesses. Character shines through to your play. You cannot separate who you are on the court from whom you are off it.
