Hold to a Standard of Excellence

Exceptional performance has multiple inputs. Coach Joe Mazzulla's words echo thoughts of Bill Walsh and his 'Standard of Performance' discussed in The Score Takes Care of Itself.  

We become our habits, the small details that create and refine outcomes, our creative and critical minds. 

When enough players commit to those standards - effort, toughness, attention to detail (footwork, platform skills, arm swing, etc.) - special emerges. 

That type of discipline and ethos impose harsh demands on the student-athlete, figuratively a blessing and a curse.
