LPTiger 5,494 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I know I sound like a grandpa, but the more experience you get i.e. the older you get, the more you realize how important it is just to simply show up each day. So many people miss this simple concept. A very valued ability is availability. Be there every single day.... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsing 629 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I was fortunate say hello to Coach McGriff last Wednesday morning having breakfast in Marriott in NW Atlanta by Truist park. He stopped asked my name we shook hands after a “War Eagle”. Pretty cool way to start my morning. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 2,262 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Still putting in the work. Gotta love the effort our coaches are investing in recruiting. Now if they can just translate the bumper crop of studs into a coherent team that can win games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro Johnny Mac 1,474 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Never underestimate how important it is for a big time coach or coaching staff to visit your own high school. I still remember to this day the time Pat Dye visited a game at my high school to recruit... I also remember Dean Smith visiting a friend of mine after school one afternoon... Those things stick with players and coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The generations who are taught that everything should be owed to them, or given participation trophies are going to get a hard lesson in the real world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
