Coaches - your legacy is determined by the EXPERIENCES you create for your players. What will the story be years from now, based on their experiences with you today?

Great to have @tylercoston of SAVI Basketball at the @NCCoachesAssn Clinic.

Great to have @CoachDKerns of @AppStateMBB speaking at the @NCCoachesAssn Clinic today in Greensboro.

"People don't follow perfection. They follow honesty. They trust the ones courageous enough to be real." from the Daily Coach

Shaka Smart gave the simplest definition of culture I've ever heard. Just 3 actions that explain everything about how great teams operate. It sounds easy, but most teams never master it. Here's what he said and why it's so powerful:🧵

The foundation of a team's culture is their core values & beliefs, which drives each member's actions. Great coaches create a culture that engages hearts & minds, energizes actions, & executes with discipline and a unity of purpose.

Great leaders are great COMMUNICATORS. Simon Sinek said great communication is both, "listening in a way that allows people to feel heard, and speaking in a way that people can hear - as opposed to triggering them"

"If you don't decide who you are, the world will decide for you." from The Daily Coach

Coaching involves holding people accountable. REMEMBER - what you don't condemn, you condone And what you permit, you promote.

As a leader, the Example you set far outweighs the Instruction you give.

In today's culture, the Coach may be the only person who can get a teenager to put their phone away for 90 consecutive mins each day

What do players want in a coach? Not perfection. Not fancy plays. They want honesty. Energy. A little humor. And to know you care about them as a person. Show up. Be real. Teach. Compete. Laugh. They’ll give you everything if they know you care.

And that's a wrap on another successful NC Live Period Boy's Event. 100 teams 224 games 118 college coaches 91 colleges Coaches & Players, enjoy the dead week next week! See you back in 2026.
