Quotes Coaches Should NOT Use #4 - Excuses

July 07, 2025 • Scott Rosberg • Season 10 • Episode 255

Today, we move into the fourth episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today we continue to cover some quotes that start with or are dominated by the pronouns "I," "me," or "my." Last week, the quotes focused on the concept that, "It's not about YOU, coach!" This week, I focus on two statements that end up being excuses for coaches to fall back on and then a bonus "I" statement that I hope none of you are ever saying!

Speaking of excuses, coach, there is no excuse for you to NOT send in a statement or two that you have heard or used that you know we should not be using as coaches! Please email me with them at scott@slamdunksuccess.com. The more we can get out there for coaches to be aware of, the better off we will all be.
