Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 3978945, member: 549"] Geno and his relationship with UConn Baseball: [MEDIA=twitter]1398728896518967296[/MEDIA] [URL='https://outline.com/6VzAr7'][B]Alternate access link here <<[/B][/URL] -> Some coaches coach a sport, or coach players who play that sport. The best coaches are the ones who coach [I]people. [/I]Auriemma finds that common ground, the messaging that would work for his team and alsofor completely different athletes playing a different sport. He’s a long-time baseball fan and told the UConn players that following baseball in Philadelphia helped him learn English as a kid from Italy. “I enjoy that kind of stuff, and sometimes I learn more than they do because of being around them,” Auriemma said. “Plus, I love baseball. The two things I noticed about both of those programs, softball and baseball, is the incredible relationships between coaches and players, and between the players themselves. And that, to me, is a common thread. The coaches have great relationships with the players and as a byproduct of that, the players have amazing relationships with each other. They end up playing for each other.” <- [B]-> [/B]He also gave the Huskies some words of encouragement.“Getting beat is honorable if somebody comes out and just kicks your [butt],” he told the baseball players. “[I]Losing [/I]is unacceptable at anytime, anywhere, any how. Make these next four or five days special.” For the Huskies, it was a special spark before they boarded their plane for the Big East tournament in Ohio. “It’s just an honor to share the profession and the campus with him,” Penders said. <- [/QUOTE]
