This is great insight into the impact that Buzz Williams is making on the lives of the young men that come through his program. This video on Marquette Basketball’s “Life Lessons” a testament – in more than one way… Here’s another video (via Coach Starkey’s Hoop Thoughts) of Marquette’s head coach, Buzz Williams, mic’d up …
I’ve always had a latent fascination and interest in the training that goes into ‘making’ a Navy SEAL. What’s involved in the training that yields an individual with mental make-up, self-awareness and discipline to warrant being able to be one of the few selected?

I’m not dropping any nuggets on golf. David Pelz is though. It’s probably more accurate to say that he gives some insightful thoughts to how …

Well ‘ba-humbug’ to New Year’s resolutions. Yup, I said it. The notion to me has never really rung true. And, it probably …
This is a fantastic video from Robin Sharma that has nothing, yet everything to do with coaching. Pull up a chair. Break out a note book and pen. And, tap into some good ideas on how you can better yourself (and your basketball team). Enjoy. I sure did. /sef.
