Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 2450505, member: 73"] With the transfers and our underclassman they've made a decision to come to UConn to be part of something special. Understand if you keep on doing what your doing, your gonna keep on getting what your getting. That to me is the definition of insanity. If you dont wanna change and improve then you cant expect to get better. You cant compare yourself to the best players or the greatest palyers you can only compare yourself to yourself and do what it takes to get better. Winners win and loosers lose. Winners find a way to win and unfortunatly Loosers find a way to loose. If you dont embrace change you become stagnant and others who work hard will pass you by. To become the best at anything you have to be willing to accept the fact that you are not as good as people say you are. The winners always outwork everybody else. The winners never take time off, Winners never take it for granted. The winners always prepare for the unexpected because nothing is a given. When your good everybody else will tell you your good, you dont have to tell them. The worst thing you can become is a could've been...and theres nothing worse then being a could've been. It takes time, patience, and coaching to become great at anything in life. Geno continues to learn from others whether that be other college coaches or NBA coaches. He takes the time to spend time with them to learn and thats why UConn is where they are today. Geno is a leader. Geno is a copy worth duplicating. Geno does it first meaning he spends the time with other coaches to learn new things and get better and brings what he learns back to the team. Thats why his players love him and respect him. Geno does if first then he takes it to his players. Over the years I got alot of flack for my high expectations like my 195-0 predictions. Thats ok because I learned along time ago about lofty predictions and lofty dreams. I learned if I shoot for the moon and miss I under up with the stars. At UConn I think thats kinda whats behind Geno's discipline and thats one of the reasons they always get better each year. [/QUOTE]
