Recently, Coach Tom Izzo, head coach of Michigan State men's basketball team, became the winningest coach in Big 10 history with 354 victories, passing Coach Bobby Knight. He gave plenty of interviews and I watched the game as well.  He showed a lot of emotion as he realizes this is not about him. He gave tribute to all the players that have played for him, the staff, the fans, the university presidents that he has worked with, etc. He got me thinking & reflecting about some things. I re-posted one of his clips with this thought:  “Awesome tribute to many other people that helped him do what he does. Helps me to reflect with gratitude for all the people in my life that have helped me… good stuff here.” This episode is my attempt to get us all to think about the people in our lives that have helped us do what we do along with the person we have become. Emotions flowing for this one.  Thanks for putting up with me.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo may be thinking about retirement sooner than later. At the least the 68 year old Izzo has thought about how he'd go about it according to a recent interview. His departure will be quick and quiet. Don't expect a long "Izzo Farewell Tour." In fact, he likes how Villanova's Jay Wright and Alabama's Nick Saban retired. But Izzo, also said he's too busy with this team to place constant thought into his retirement plan. Izzo's Michigan State Spartans are off to a slow start this season and enter tonight's game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers with a 10-7 record. Izzo is 4 wins away from 700 with yet, another coaching milestone!  In other coaching news: It's another day and another Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh story. Now he has interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons for their head coaching position, in addition to visiting with the Los Angeles Chargers about their job opening.  Another thing to keep an eye on is the legal battle between the ACC and Florida State. The Seminoles want out of the ACC's grant of broadcast rights deal. The ACC punched back with a legal filing today. We are always interested in this story because we think Florida State is a candidate to join the Big 10 someday! Tune in here to find out the latest.  Finally, we get you ready for the weekend with a look at the Big 10 Network's Classics and Live broadcasts.  It's all here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon!  Connect on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/talkbig10  Website: https://talkbig10.com     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Did you know that his coaching tree includes Tom Crean of Georgia and Jim Boylen of the Chicago Bulls?Here are several isolated responses from an in-person conversation I had with Coach Tom Izzo, in Las Vegas at the USA Basketball Fantasy Camp – back when I was the host of the Pure Sweat Basketball Show. We discussed the difference between being a great player and a great winner, why a player led team will always outperform a coach led team in the long run and why the coaching community needs to spend more time invested in self-development. What makes the best the best? Ultimately the best are where they are because of the mindset, habits, and rituals they have—both in their respective “arenas,” but also in private, during the unseen hours. Success isn't something that happens to you. It's something you attract and you create. Successful people do the little things better than everyone else because they know all the big things arise from them. The highest performers in all walks of life have taken full ownership. They got to where they are and have stayed there because they have chosen to establish, tweak and repeat positive habits. They understand that you can't be selective when it comes to excellence, that how we do anything is how we do everything.Sustain Your Game teaches you how to bring your A game to every area of your life. With advice from top CEOs, journalists, social scientists, and more, you'll learn the framework for how to beat stress, stagnation, and burnout. Sustain Your Game will help you be the best in your arena, wherever that may be.Sustain Your Game if available now at http://www.SustainYourGameBook.comPlease make sure to join the conversations at @AlanSteinJr on all major social platforms, go to AlanSteinJr.com to subscribe to my Game Changer monthly emails.Additionally, you can order the audiobook of Raise Your Game: High Performance Secrets from the Best of the Best at http://www.Audible.com or wherever audiobooks are sold.
