“Play to our identity so well.. that the opposing coach SAYS our identity in the postgame press conference..”
UMASS HC Greg Carvel explains how they went from 5-29 to 20-5 and a National Championship in just a few years.
Their culture is three words: FAST, HARD, PREPARED.
CLARITY of VISION creates consistency of play.
My belief is if you do things well enough that other people can:
See it
Feel it
& Say it back to you, you’re doing things the RIGHT WAY.
Warriors Actions
“Thumb Out”
So many advantages can be pulled from this alignment- great insight from coach Steve Kerr.
No Dickheads: “It’s not the mountain in front of you that wears you down, it’s the pebble in your shoe.”
If you have a culture of high-functioning ppl, you cannot bring them down by having them around low-functioning people.
Coach uses the “rule of 3’s at UMASS”
1’s- Do everything right: Train right, Eat right, Do well in school ‘low maintenance'.’
3’s- A pain in coach’s a**, always in trouble, always have excuses.. They get cut.
2’s- this is where the MAGIC lies- take a look below HOW coach has created an actual CLUB for the 2’s- this is the mastery…
The key are the 2’s- “The BBP CLUB” How multiple 2’s scored in the National Championship 🔑
PLUS ZONE OFFENSIVE ACTIONS!
