I watched an incredible documentary last night on the coaching career and life of Augie Garrido.
Coach Garrido is a baseball coach at the university of Texas if you did not know.He is what coaching is all about. The interviews with him and his friends and players and former players said so much about the man.
If you ever get a chance to watch that documentary I highly encourage you to do that.
Click this link to see more about the Documentary entitled "Inning by Inning", a film by Richard Linklater.
His story is legendary. 5 national championships. He has coached for 39 years. The guy just oozed love for his players and the game of baseball. Of course this applies to any sport. Basketball is no different.
One thing that really stood out was that he constantly referred to baseball as just a game. It was not that important as a game although he loved it and respected it.
What was most important was the life lessons that baseball taught. To him that was the key and that WAS extremely important.
One other page which might interest you is this interview/chat from ESPN.
