Was told when she took for her first full-time head coaching position at Rutgers, "your classroom will be the world."
We as coaches should always remember that we are "always useful but not necessary." She then mentioned that players should understand this as well.
She always kept three books on her desk...the team's playbook, the Bible and Emily Post
She was also an avid reader her entire career and loved reading books from four categories:
1. Basketball
2. Military Command
3. Psychology
4. Prayer
She spoke to the assistant coaches there and asked them to "constantly work in become the best version of you that you can be."
Her goal was to be "one of the most respected coaches in the game." (not about money)
We all have a "good dog" and a "bad dog" in us...which one controls us? The one we feed!
As coaches, "we are in an outstanding position to influence."
More from Coach Grentz later!
