Geno Auriemma was asked how every single player on his team is so enthusiastic.
He gave an answer that every young athlete should hear 👏

At the time of this speech, the main takeaway from Dan Campbell was “I don’t care if you have one ass cheek and three toes, I will beat your ass.”
Looking back, there’s a much deeper meaning here. The coaches, the front office and the players all knew what he meant and they all bought in.
The culture of this Lions team was built off speeches just like this. Possibly built off this exact one.
“We’ll go a little longer. We’ll push a little harder. We’ll think a little deeper and little sharper.”
“Normally I’m 100% but I only need 85% to beat you.” (Think of Ragnow on that Vea block)
“…just gotta get a hold of them though. If you just get a hold of them and start dragging their ass out to the deep dark abyss…you can drown ‘em. And that’s what we have to be. That’s who we have to be. Because that’s our domain. Because we will tread water as long as it takes to fucking bury you. We’ll go as long as it takes because we can and we choose to.”
Everything Campbell said in this speech is the team the Lions have become. #AllGrit

All of this. Thoughtful, sensible, complete perspective on how screwed up college sports are.

Jeter: “It’s a challenge to get your guys to talk about themselves. They come up here and only talk about their teammates. All they care about is the team and winning on the field.”
Bochy: “That’s how you win.”
Relationships ➡️ Culture ➡️ Performance

GET THE RIGHT GUYS ON THE BUS!

COACHES: Be careful you don't get frustrated by the very things you are responsible for in your program. Your players will do what you allow, tolerate, permit, or accept. Fight for your culture daily. Reinforce and reward those behaviors that are important to you.

"It's the human condition to be average.
It's normal.
It's special to get somebody that wants to be the best they can be and understand how important it is to earn it."
Average is easy.
But true success isn't found in comfort.
Be relentless and leave your mark on greatness.

Not a fan of the transfer portal. I do understand that there are legit scenarios where making a change is needed and warranted, however, in my opinion it is getting out of hand. 20% of D1 players in the portal. Let that sink in. Feel like we are getting away from the life lessons that college athletics and baseball, in particular, teach.

Not the ending we wanted. Embraced the underdog role, took advantage of it, made school history. First baseball team in Dacula history to make Elite 8!

DO YOU HAVE CHAMPIONSHIP HABITS?
“The only reason you did it was because I offered you $100. When I said the first time to go from here to there and back you went at your pace, now you went at the pace I want you to go at” (Geno Auriemma)
