022719 Tyler Herro quotes



On what he said at the free throw line …
"I'm a bucket."

On what sort of confidence he brings to a free throw line …
"I feel like it's going to go in every time I shoot a free throw."

On how superstitious he and the team are and if he changed
shoes at half …
"Well, Keldon always changes his shoes whenever he 
doesn't make a shot and I thought the floor was slippery 
a little bit with my other shoes so that's why I changed shoes."

On what Calipari was saying about his defense …
"He was on me for my defense but I thought I played pretty well."

On if this game was looked at as a breather…
"No not really. I think we just got off to a slow start. 
They were just playing harder than we were and I feel like
they wanted it more in the first half but we picked back up in
the second."

For the storm to pass...

You cannot take the mild approach
To the weeds in your mental garden.
You have got to hate weeds enough
To kill them.

Weeds are something you devastate.

To get in practice and work on it."

021019 The Parable of Brother Leo



The Parable of Brother Leo
An old legend tells of a French monastery that was
well-known throughout Europe because of the 
extraordinary leadership of a man known only as
Brother Leo.
Several monks began a pilgrimage to visit Brother Leo
to learn from him. Almost immediately, the monks 
began to bicker as to who should do various chores. 
On the third day they met another monk who was
also going to the monastery.
This monk never complained or shirked a duty. 
Whenever the others would fight over a chore, 
he would gracefully volunteer to do it himself.
By the last day, the other monks were following
his example, and everyone worked together smoothly.
When they reached the monastery and asked to see
Brother Leo, the man who greeted them laughed.
"But our brother is among you!" pointing to the fellow
who had joined them late in the trip.
Today, many people seek leadership positions not so
much for what they can do for others, but for what 
the position can do for them: status, connections,
perks, or future advantages. As a result, they do 
service primarily as an investment, a way to build
an impressive resume.
The parable about Brother Leo teaches another 
model of leadership, where leaders are more 
preoccupied with serving than being followed, 
with giving than getting, with doing than demanding.
Its leadership based on example, not command. 
It’s called servant leadership.
Can you imagine how much better things would be
if more politicians, educators, and business executives 
saw themselves as servant leaders?

A particular shot or way of moving the ball can be a

Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing
Men and women.
Almost any decision is better than no decision at all.

If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly
Improve the quality of every part of your life.
- Brian Tracy

All successful people men and women are big dreamers.
They imagine what their future could be,
Ideal in every respect, and then they work every day
Toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

020619 Believe and Succeed



Believe and Succeed
You will agree, I am sure, that all thinking people have a sincere
desire to succeed.
You want to win; I want to win. No one sets out to deliberately
destroy themselves ... although I must admit, at times it certainly
appears as if some people do.
If everyone wants to win ... why don't they? There are probably
many answers to that question. After talking with hundreds of 
people who do not seem to be able to make it happen, I have 
come to the conclusion that the answer to success is locked up
in a seven letter word ... "Believe."
Losers do not believe they can win. Why don't they believe? 
I think there is an answer to that question and I'll get to it in 
a moment. If you are having difficulty making something big 
happen in your life, listen closely.
All the great religious leaders, philosophers and self-help gurus
have told us to believe and succeed. "All things are possible for
those who believe."
William James said, "Believe and your belief will create the fact."
I have found that our belief system is based on our evaluation of 
something. Frequently when we re-evaluate a situation our belief
about that situation will change.
Half of my life was wasted. I never even tried to accomplish 
anything of any importance because I did not believe in myself. 
The truth was I knew very little about me. Many years ago I 
was encouraged to begin studying myself, re-evaluate myself.
I began to gain an understanding of my marvelous mind. 
Everyday I learned a little more and I suddenly began to believe
in myself.
Today I have a number of companies around the world earning 
millions of dollars. We have a very successful year long coaching
program ... We teach people the laws of their mind. 
Long before the year's program is over we see marvelous things
happen from more money to great loving relationships.
Re-evaluate yourself. There is a sleeping giant in you. Release it.
Believe in yourself.
- Bob Proctor

My motto was always to keep swinging.

If everyone is moving forward together,
Then success takes care of itself. 
- Henry Ford

I am a member of a team,
And I rely on the team,
I defer to it and sacrifice for it,
Because the team,
Not the individual,
Is the ultimate champion. 
- Mia Hamm

Regardless of differences,
We strive shoulder to shoulder...
Teamwork can be summed up in
Five short words …
"We believe in each other."

You play against the game of basketball.

The idea is not to block every shot. 
The idea is to make your opponent
Believe that you might block every shot.

The Greatest Leaders Know Failure Is Not Final …
(Tom) Coughlin and Belichick have won seven
(Super Bowls) between them, but each was
Fired from his first NFL head coaching job.

The Greatest Leaders Respect Authority … 
The owner has to be comfortable with the
Coach and the coach has to respect the
Owner to create a winning environment.

The Greatest Leaders Build Trust … 
Everyone has their idiosyncrasies,
But if there is trust,
That’s the key in business, in marriages.
You build a sense of trust so you go
Through rough times.
- Patriot’s owner Robert Kraft
