#44. This episode features Kevin Devitt assistant basketball coach at Niagara University. In this episode, we discuss Coach Devitt's fascinating journey to becoming a D1 basketball coach, what it takes to get to that level, what his vision is once he becomes a head coach, and how we keep the main thing, the main thing as coaches.
My takeaways:
- People need to be reaffirmed that somebody else sees something in them, and great coaches to that, allowing players to become the best versions of themselves
- Coaches can instill confidence in their players through detailed planning and being confident themselves
- There's no escaping hard work & sacrifice to reach career goals
- Your program's process has to be revisited each year
- Regardless of the money, the level, or the pressure coaches need to always keep the main thing, the main thing.
