THIS IS A GREAT PLACE FOR US TO LEAD ATHLETES INTO THEIR FUTURES
Heart of a servant
When people step away from the habit of “taking” and enter the space of “giving,” We believe we become not only more fulfilled but healthier spiritually.
Giving back is like a statement to the God that says, Thank you for what you’ve given me. It’s like a nod of gratitude combined with a battery pack that energizes possibility for someone else.
As a coach, it is always crucial that players understand the value of having the heart of a servant.
WE all need to see the merits of self-sacrifice, not just because it would help us become a better player or coach more so because it will compel us to become great individuals
ITS SATISFYING TO SEE PLAYERS BECOME THE PEOPLE THEY ALWAYS WANTED TO BECOME WITH A SENSE OF BELONGING
One of my favourite John Wooden expressions is this: “It’s amazing how much can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit.” This idea, too, belongs in the discussion of what it means to have a heart of a servant, because when someone is overly concerned with getting the credit or receiving the glory, it’s usually a strong indication that they’re only really there to serve themselves.
Players do this for all kinds of reasons—recognition, popularity, and competitiveness, to name just a few. A lot will play hard just to get scholarships. But the truth is that if you win a state championship as a team, you’ll ultimately get everything you want as an individual and more. This is why it’s crucial to always put the team first. Your team becomes your family for a season so coming together as one you will think will be a goal. When you prioritise the team, you are in service; when you prioritise yourself, the only thing you serve is your ego.
Selflessness has become the foundation, the bedrock, of my approach as a basketball coach.
