Leadership wisdom from Coach Pat Summitt

Coach Pat Summitt
Because you don’t always have control as to whether the ball goes in the basket or not, defense has always been important to me… because that is something you CAN control. Every time you take the floor, it is how hard you play. It’s a commitment to influence how your opponents play. Focus on what you can control.
