This is what I spoke of before our practice yesterday and on Friday. 'Friendship' and 'Team Spirit.' See the circled areas below. Read each and truly grasp their meaning. I expect these two descriptive definitions will continued to be followed by all members of the team. John Wooden's formula for team success, seen below, is what I have followed since day one with the team. His 'Pyramid of Success,' worked quite well at UCLA, so I think it'll work quite well here. It worked last year. 'Loyalty' will be the next talk. These three words and what they mean, go to the core of who I am as a person and how I approach coaching.
