The world is crazy. Plus, we have our own crazy lives to worry about—that pile of work, the kid who might be coming down with a cold, the house project that must be finished.
I want to tell you the story of a kid, born in 1937 into segregated Washington, D.C. He's 9 when his father dies and 13 when his mother has a mental breakdown, disappears, and is institutionalized. He's effectively orphaned. This is how George Raveling's story begins. Despite being dealt one of the worst cards imaginable, George, now 87, went on to become the most revered basketball coach in the world. He played against Jerry West, the man on the NBA logo. He became only the second black basketball player for Villanova University. And he went on to become the first black coach at several American universities. He'd go on to coach and mentor players like Michael Jordan. And chances are, you probably would've never worn—or even heard of—Air Jordan sneakers if it wasn't for George. Yet, in all his decades of coaching, the words Head Coach never appeared on his door. Instead, it always read: “George Raveling, Educator.” George has had a bit of a Forrest Gump life, somehow showing up at the most important events in American 20th-century history. He stood next to Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington. He met presidents Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Harry S. Truman. And he traveled the world promoting basketball as an international sport. This is a man who made his own breaks, continues to break glass ceilings, and embodies the American dream. Today on Honestly, Bari Weiss sits down with George to discuss his extraordinary life and his new book, What You're Made For: Powerful Life Lessons from My Career in Sports, which he wrote alongside Ryan Holiday.

Sometimes hope is as simple as giving someone a reason to get through until morning. It's showing up, day after day, and saying, ‘I'm here for you.'”

From his childhood in segregated Washington, D.C., to becoming one of the most influential figures in sports history, George's journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

The shot clock is clicking down. Let's make every second count.
I get this newsletter from “The Daily Coach” and it always has powerful lessons about leadership, life, sports, and it really translates to lessons for all of us to use in our daily lives. If you click on the link above, you will find that there are three people responsible for this great information being shared. Michael Lombardi, who has been a part of championship programs in football; George Raveling who was a longtime basketball coach and loves teaching leadership lessons; and the third person is Kimati Ramsey who is connected to supporting teams and individual athletes with their mental health. A winning trio that helps people to see life lessons through sports. This is part 2 of 3 looking at a Championship Mindset and they are focusing in on “Jalen Hurts led the Philadelphia Eagles to a dominant 40-20 victory over the reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, also taking home MVP honors. This wasn't just another win—it was the culmination of a journey filled with trials, setbacks, and relentless perseverance.” This is the third and final part that I'm reflecting on and sharing some connections to life for most of us that don't play professional sports for a living. This part is all about Growth that we want to strive for throughout our lifetime. This third part includes this from the email I got - “We may not be suiting up on Sundays, but in our own ways, we are all competing for the Super Bowl of life—pushing toward our unique opportunities to live, lead, love and serve at our highest calling and levels.” I know that life sure does become more interesting for each of us when we are able to connect to things (and people) that fire us up and inspire us, along with finding things everyday to keep connecting with so we can keep improving. Again, there are so many things out there to connect with as the saying that “success leaves clues” is always whispering in our ears as we try to live our best life, every single day!!

Blue Chips featured Nick Nolte, fantastic as a college hoops coach, and young Shaq & Penny Hardaway as recruits, but in 2024 is the booster Happy played by the late JT Walsh the real hero? Join us for Blue Chips, a college basketball movie from 1994 starring Nick Nolte, Shaq O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, Ed O'Neill, Alfre Woodard, Bob Cousy, Mary McDonnell, JT Walsh, Bob Cousy, Matt Nover, Marques Johnson, Robert Wuhl, Bobby, Knight, Rick Pitino, George Raveling, Larry Bird, Dick Vitale… You get the point. Maybe like me, this one grew on you when you realized the movie wasn't about the big game. In 1994, everyone was still taught to believe a player who wanted anything more than a scholarship was a greedy leech with no love for the game…and we just never really asked where all the money did go. This movie did help that conversation along, but it also had some fantastic performances - even by non-actors - some really funny scenes and, of course, probably the best movie basketball playing ever.

James Donaldson had a great college and professional basketball career, a physical therapy business, and many aspirations, even in retirement from sports. But over the course of several years, illness, bankruptcy, divorce, and circumstances in life sent Donaldson into a dark mental spiral. He found his way back, writing a book about his struggles and starting a foundation to help others. In this episode, Donaldson talks with magazine associate editor Adriana Janovich about his struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts, his recovery and memoir, and his desire to help other men, especially men of color, who face the same darkness. Donaldson, a 1979 alum of Washington State University, also talks about his WSU and NBA basketball career, influential coaches George Raveling and Lenny Wilkens, and how the suicide of WSU football player Tyler Hilinski shook him to the core so much that he sought help.

On Episode 163 of the Ballislife In The Paint Show, hosts Ronnie Flores, Ani Umana and Chelsea Hopkins welcome special guest Sonny Vaccaro to talk about the making, background and detail of the recently released movie "Air: Courting of a Legend". The former Sports Marketing Executive and Grassroots basketball event czar goes into detail about his role in convincing Nike boss Phil Knight to go all in to sign budding basketball star Michael Jordan to a unique endorsement deal while turning pro in 1984. Vaccaro, whose maverick marketing ideas for Jordan in a signature shoe revolutionzed sports marketing and American sports culture, dishes on how he initially hooked up with Nike to lead their basketball marketing efforts, talks about whom deserves credit during the courting of Jordan and candidly speaks on not knowing how the mock sneaker would turn out or just how wildly successful the Jordan Brand would become after the historic endorsement deal. Vaccaro also gives some detail on his relationship with George Raveling (the best man at his wedding to wife Pam), the background leading up to his working relationship with Nike, and talks about the star-studded cast of "Air". The ITP Crew gives their reactions to the interview and the movie and what they learned from both. Ani gives his perspective from just how big the grassroots basketball space has grown from the birthing of the Air Jordan, Chelsea gives her perspective from the growth of the sneaker industry and Nike's rise to dominance and Ron dishes on the background of Vaccaro from a fledgling national all-star game promoter in 1965 to being the go-to person for college coaches and parents trying to navigate through the grassroots ecosystem. The ITP Crew also give their prediction of the upcoming NBA Finals and what the L.A. Lakers and Boston Celtics are going to have to do to be in contention in the near future. Will Chelsea's Miami Heat prediction come to fruition? Is Denver just too strong for Miami as Ani and Ron predict? Will LeBron be on the Lakers when he plays with Bronny? Will he eventually play with Bronny in a NBA game? Do the Celtics need wholesale changes, or just a more experienced coach? The ITP Crew also touches on the issue of star players' seasons being deemed a "failure" without a championship, the media-player dynamic and how its changed over the years, and the shrinking window for successful coaches. Even veteran observers can learn plenty about Jordan, Nike, and the grassroots basketball marketing machine in this latest ITP pod, so make sure to tune in to Episode 163 from start to finish!

Michael Lombardi is a former NFL General Manager, a 3X Super Bowl Champion, and somebody who thinks deeply about leadership. He has a daily newsletter with George Raveling called The Daily Coach which aims to be inspiration for people around leadership. Michael is also the author of Gridiron Genius. Michael has been in the trenches with some of the best coaches of all time, specifically Bill Walsh and Bill Belichick. He also spent a lot of his career with Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders. This conversation really gets into culture and leadership, which is really what his book is about as well. More than anything, Michael cares about making people better. Michael had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “When you have to tell people to call you something and you don't earn it, then there's something wrong with the way you're working” (7:00). “Actions speak louder than titles” (7:10). “The respect you get is the respect you earn based on your level of commitment” (7:20). “In every great organization, alignment starts and ends with everybody knowing their jobs, everybody knowing their roles” (7:45). “I love the idea of building a team” (9:35). “At 13, I knew I wanted to be a general manager” (10:25). “The problem with most organizations is they don't know who they are” (12:45). “We are never able to accelerate what we want until we eliminate what we don't want” (18:10). “When you have structures in place and protocols, now you can diagnostically test what you need” (18:55). “I only wanted to be with people who saw the game the way I saw it” (23:15). “The number one trait that truly great leaders have is they understand what their job is and what it isn't” (27:20). “Great CEOs truly understand what the job is… every decision comes back to ‘Does this benefit the job?'” (29:05). “If I give you something good to do and you do it well, I'll give you something else” (33:15). “Whatever job someone gives you, do it the best you can” (33:40). “Falling in love with the process not falling in love with the results, that's competitive stamina” (43:40). “Most of the time the player is just interested in making themselves better. The leader is interested in making everybody better” (45:45). “This is what all great leaders do: they figure out what they need to do to win the game” (56:00). “Learn from everything that you touch and apply it back to what you love” (59:00). “If you don't look outside your area of expertise to other areas, you become stagnant and you lack curiosity” (59:30). “The one thing I've learned in my 63 years of life is curiosity is the greatest tool to have. If you have curiosity in your tool belt, you'll be successful” (1:00:00). “I love being a writer… I love being able to mentor people” (1:06:15). “The jungle's not dangerous if you know the trails” (1:09:10). “I think we can learn a lot more when people destroy something than when they build it” (1:13:00). “If Steve Jobs needs a coach, everybody needs a coach” (1:15:00).

The most famous Civil Rights speech of all time was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington, DC on August 28, 1963. At the time, George Raveling was a 26 year old Villanova graduate who was starting his coaching career as an assistant at his alma mater. George was a 6'4" tall former player at 'Nova and volunteered for Dr. King's security detail on that historic day. After the speech, as Dr. King was leaving the podium, George asked him for the typewritten copy of the speech, which George treasures to this day. That's remarkable enough, but when George tells the "story behind the story" of Dr. King's speech, he reveals a fascinating bit of history.

Racism is nothing new. In fact, previous generations of African Americans faced much more overt racism than we see today. Hall of Famers George Raveling & Wayne Embry have the receipts and they'll tell their stories. Both came of age in the 1950's and reached the pinnacle of success in the 1970's & '80's. Their success in not only overcoming discrimination, but rising to the very top of their respective professions provides a timeless lesson for all of us. At 23:30 is this story: George provided security for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963 and he shares a story from that day that few if any people have ever heard. Wayne also shares the amazing story of his former teammates Maurice Stokes and Jack Twyman, who took the concept of "brotherhood" and caring to an incredibly high level.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Legendary coach and Nike executive George Raveling visited with Dave Wohl and shared a "never before told" story about his friendship with the late Wilt Chamberlain. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
George Raveling is a Hall of Fame basketball coach and Wayne Embry is a Hall of Fame player and executive. Both have been pioneers in breaking down racial barriers and rising to the highest levels of the coaching, executive, and business ranks. Both men are in their 80's and have seen it all, including being excluded from opportunities and even denied accommodations at team hotels and restaurants. George and Wayne recall vivid details from their struggles but teach all of us lessons about restraint, class, and the wisdom to reject bitterness and always try and make things better.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Believe it or not.[00:02:20] So that was my coaching experience. So, I had none, zero.[00:02:55] So next door is George Raveling. Now I'm awestruck.[00:04:17] I found myself squatting as if I'm the head coach, I'm off the bench now. I'm yelling at guys sprint, get back, get in the lane, do all these different things. And from that moment, I fell in love with coaching.[00:05:40] Sole Brothers from a basketball standpoint happened by accident. From a philanthropic standpoint, it fell in my lap.[00:07:49] I jokingly said, damn bro, you killed us in Vans? You can't even wear hoop shoes. He was like, nah, what happened, the guy who I usually share shoes with couldn't make it to the game.[00:09:05] His coach approaches me and said, Hey, man, I just want to tell you something. He's been playing our program for two years. He's never owned a pair of basketball shoes. So, he said, listen, he's in the corner right now, he's in tears. He's so happy, so ecstatic. Because he's never owned a pair of shoes.[00:11:08] You care about people more than you care about the sport. So that's how my mentality has always been as a young coach and as the, now a veteran coach.[00:11:30] I've just been fortunate to be surrounded by a lot of good guys, good women good mentors, good directors.[00:12:36] As I got older, I learned it's that guy at the end of the bench who actually needs the most attention because he's not going to go on to play in college. She's not going to go on to play in college, but she might be CEO of something. And that's the one that's going to help that superstar. That's the one who's going to help you and donate to your program when you start a program.[00:13:54] I wish I would've known, definitely, you don't need to get all of your tidbits from someone in your profession. When you're the head coach, you're not just running a team, you're running an organization.[00:14:52] You may even go to just a business guy. How do you run your company? How do you run your office? What is day to day life? How do you keep the morale up?[00:16:04] You're also teaching these young men and young ladies that organization is important. They now become better students. They now become better wives. They now become better husbands and now become better employees because they got that structure.[00:16:56] What I've learned after 25 years is you don't need all that figure out who you are, what you believe in what group you have in the gym, and then, reload, repeat and keep it simple.[00:17:41] You got to work outside of your comfort zone.[00:18:05] You're going to love and hate every practice we have. You're going to love it because you're going to get better, but you're going to hate it because you're going to work hard…You're going to be uncomfortable. And this is not going to be the first time. So, if you play for me, you're going to be uncomfortable and it won't be your last time.[00:19:35] I've become a lot more empathetic…I've also learned that when you criticize, when you get on a kid, when you rip a kid, I mean, rip him. I don't mean you should have made that, but I'm telling you just lay into him, there needs to be a follow-up. Whether it's after practice during practice, or as soon as they do something positive, you better be the loudest person in the gym; that gives you cache.[00:20:20] I was in a motorcycle accident and it was near fatal.[00:21:13] So once everything got healed, and I got back into coaching, everything became bigger than coaching.[00:21:52] Now when I'm teaching a kid or talking to a kid, I care about the kid. Even if I never see him again, after the two years he plays with me or four years, he plays with me. I care…So, I've learned to cherish every moment and project that on to our athletes or my athletes.[00:24:42] It made me a better person. It made me a better player, because it taught me at that young of an age, you can't take things for granted. You can't assume anything.[00:25:00] If you've never experienced adversity as a player, you can't empathize with your student athletes. You can't. You need to be able to tell stories that you've experienced what they've gone through.[00:26:26] That's the number one thing as a coach. If they can't relate, if you're on a totem pole, you're high up and they can't get through you only through assistants, emails and text messages, you got to find a new profession.[00:29:04] Number one thing you take out of it is the person they are. When you talk about the greats and the most influential coaches, no matter what sport it is, you always hear that they were good people.[00:33:17] I stayed back. I actually apologized to him. Because I told him I lost my cool, whether I should have kicked you off the bench or not is a separate discussion, but we should have never gotten to that point.[00:33:59] If that situation hadn't happened. If I hadn't gone back to him and told him I made a mistake, I don't know that our relationship isn't the same. And I probably would bet money that he and I are going to be friends for the rest of my life.[00:35:29] The student athlete needs to know that they're supported by administration. Administration needs to know that they're supported by their coaches. And their coaches need to know that they're supported by both parties.[00:36:47] You're not coming in and saying I'm going to do this and this it's I need to gather information. I need to understand the situation. I need to understand the clientele. I need to understand my bosses. I need to understand what I'm working in, with, and for before I can make any decisions.
We have placed Mike Boynton on the throne as he joins us to share his life testimony of what he has had to overcome to achieve greatness. During this interview Coach Boynton sets the tone for what it means to be unapologetically himself in a profession where it is easy to want to fit a certain stereotype. His level of confidence and authenticity is evident in this interview. As the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Oklahoma State University, he his priorities as leader of the program which include setting an example as a man, husband and a father and building relationships with his players. In a league with accomplished coaches, Mike Boynton doesn’t let the expectations of others get in the way of living out his mission and keeping his faith first and helping his players understand their value outside of making it to the NBA. He gives us the prospective that we are here for a purpose much bigger than ourselves. In this conversation you will learn: How to stay focused on your purpose in the mist of navigating your career. What it means to trust God’s plan over your plan. The importance of listening as a leader and operating in humility. How he demonstrates to his young men that compassion and vulnerability are signs of strength. What happens when you focus on doing your job well vs. fitting the stereotype on the outside. The importance of mentorship and legacy as he highlights the significant roles of John Thompson, George Raveling and Leonard Hamilton.

This is Part 2 of a conversation with a true trailblazer in the sport of college basketball, George Raveling, and his experiences throughout his lifetime, including the story of how he became the owner of the original copy of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have A Dream" speech.
Coach Wright is joined by one of basketball's most legendary figures, George Raveling, to talk about his experience both playing and coaching at Villanova, the color barriers he helped break down in college sports, and the current state of affairs in our country.
Last year was the first year I really forgot how old I was. This year was the year that I started doing stuff over again. Not out of nostalgia, or premature memory loss, but out of the sense that enough time had elapsed that it was time to revisit some things. I re-read books that I hadn’t touched in ten or fifteen years. I went back to places I hadn’t been since I was a kid. I re-visited some painful memories that I had walled off and chosen not to think about. So I thought this year, for my birthday piece (more than 10 years running now—here is 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 32), I would revisit an article I wrote several years ago, which has remained popular since I first published it: 28 Pieces of Productivity Advice I Stole From People Smarter Than Me. I’m not so interested in productivity advice anymore, but I remain, as ever, focused on taking advice from people smarter than me. So here are some of the best pieces of advice—things I try to live by, things I tried to revisit and think about this year—about life. Enjoy. And remember, as Seneca said, that we are dying everyday. At 33, I don’t say to myself that according to actuary tables, I have 49 years to live. I say instead that I have already died three and one-third decades. The question is whether I lived those years before they passed. That’s what matters. –George Raveling told me that he sees reading as a moral imperative. “People died,” he said, speaking of slaves, soldiers and civil rights activists, “so I could have the ability to read.” He also pointed out that there’s a reason people have fought so hard over the centuries to keep books from certain groups of people. I’ve always thought reading was important, but I never thought about it like that. If you’re not reading, if books aren’t playing a major role in your life, you are betraying that legacy. -Another one on reading: in his autobiography, General James Mattis points out that if you haven’t read widely, you are functionally illiterate. That’s a great term, and one I wish I’d heard earlier. As Mark Twain said, if you don’t read, you’re not any better than people who can’t read. This is true not only generally but specifically on specific topics. I am functionally illiterate about many things and that needs to be fixed. -Sue Johnson talks about how when couples or people fight, they’re not really fighting, they’re just doing a dance, usually a dance about attachment. The dance is the problem—you go this way, I go that way, you reach out, I pull away, I reach out, you pull away—not the couple, not either one of the people. This externalization has been very helpful. -The last year has certainly revealed some things about a lot of folks that I know or thought I did. But before I get too disappointed, I think of that beautiful line from F. Scott Fitzgerald at the beginning of The Great Gatsby (discovered on a re-read): “Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” -I’ve heard this many times from many different writers over the years (Neil Strauss being one), but as time passes the truth of it becomes more and more clear, and not just in writing: When someone tells you something is wrong, they’re almost always right. When someone tells you how to fix it, they’re almost always wrong. -It was a French journalist who was writing a piece about Trust Me I’m Lying who happened to tell me something about relationships. LOVE, he said, is best spelled T-I-M-E. I don’t think I’ve heard anything truer or more important to my development as a husband or father. -Also, Seinfeld’s concept of quality time vs. garbage time has been almost as essential to me as Robert Greene’s concept of alive time vs. dead time. I would be much worse without these two ideas. -A few years ago I was exploring a book project with Lance Armstrong and he showed me some of the texts people had sent him when his world came crashing down. “Some people lean in when their friends take heat,” he said, “some people lean away.” I decided I wanted to be a lean-in type, even if I didn’t always agree, even if it was their fault. -When I was in high school, I was in this English class and I shared something with the discussion group we were in. Then later, I heard people use what I had said in their essays or in presentations and get credit for it. I brought this up to the teacher later, that people were using my ideas. The teacher looked at me and said, “Ryan, that’s your job.” I’m very glad she said that and that I heard it at 16. -Another thing about being a writer. I once read a letter where Cheryl Strayed kindly pointed out to a young writer the distinction between writing and publishing. Her implication was that we focus too much on the latter and not enough on the former. It’s true for most things. Amateurs focus on outcomes more than process. The more professional you get, the less you care about results. It seems paradoxical but it’s true. You still get results, but that’s because you know that the systems and process are reliable. You trust them with your life. -Speaking of which, that distinction between amateur and professional is an essential piece of advice I have gotten, first from Steven Pressfield’s writings and then by getting to know him over the years. There are professional habits and amateur ones. Which are you practicing? Is this a pro or an amateur move? Ask yourself that. Constantly. -Peter Thiel: “Competition is for losers.” I loved this the second I heard it.

"As a young boy, the famed basketball coach George Raveling learned an invaluable lesson about the power of both knowledge and ignorance from his grandmother, who raised him. 'Why did the slave masters hide their money in books, George?' she asked the young boy, standing together in her kitchen.'I don’t know, grandma,' he said.'Because they knew the slaves wouldn’t open them,' she said.Learn more about George's story, and the importance of reading, in today's Daily Stoic Podcast.***If you enjoyed this week’s podcast, we’d love for you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

He’s also been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.Coach George Raveling made his first appearance on the podcast in 2018, and for me, it was one of the most impactful interviews I’ve done, and I came out of it walking on air.We covered a lot of ground in that first interview, including how Coach Raveling came to own the original copy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, how his practice team ended up beating the 1984 US Olympic Dream Team in basketball, how he helped convince Michael Jordan to sign with Nike, and much more. I strongly urge you to listen to that conversation about Coach’s life, philosophies, and lessons learned.I invited George back on the podcast to hear his thoughts on everything that is happening right now. These are difficult and uncertain times for millions of people, and my heart goes out to each and every person navigating the depths of sadness, anger, and fear.As you’ll hear in today’s episode, Coach Raveling has great hope. He’s seen many changes in his lifetime, and we can all strive to be the positive change agents that he implores us to be.Please enjoy this timely—and timeless—conversation with Coach George Raveling. ***If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Cal sits down with a national treasure, George Raveling, to talk about some of the impactful moments of George’s life. That includes the day in August of 1963 when George was a bodyguard on stage as Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his I Have A Dream speech. As Dr. King folded the speech and walked off stage, George asked Dr. King if he could have it and Dr. King handed it to him. George would become basketball coach at Washington State, Iowa and USC, a coach on the 1984 U.S. Olympic basketball team that contained Michael Jordan and Larry Bird and a member of the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. This episode of Big Questions focuses on George through his love of books. Few people appreciate books the way George Raveling does. George is often seen walking around with shopping bags full of them that he hands out to friends. There are many takeaways in the way George reads books and the way he honors them. After you listen, your reading habits may never be the same.
If you haven’t heard of George Raveling, you should. This a guy that Michael Jordan addresses as “coach” even though Raveling never coached the Bulls or the Tar Heels. He’s also been retired from coaching for more than two decades. In fact, most people who know him call him Coach Rav, not because he’s got a great sense of the game, but because his wisdom about life. On Coach’s website, there’s a tab titled Life Lessons. It’s full of wonderful lessons. But it’s one post in particular that the aspiring Stoic should consider, because it deals with what Epictetus said is our chief task in life--discerning what’s inside our control and what isn’t and then, having made the distinction, focus all our energy on making the right choices in regards to what’s ours to decide. Rav’s post is titled 23 Life Choices That Are In Your Control. Here are all 23 of them: 1. Be YOU, not them.2. Do more, expect less.3. Be positive, not negative.4. Be the solution, not the problem.5. Be a starter, not a stopper.6. Question more, believe less.7. Be a somebody, never a nobody.8. Love more, hate less.9. Give more, take less.10. See more, look less.11. Save more, spend less.12. Listen more, talk less.13. Walk more, sit less.14. Read more, watch less.15. Build more, destroy less.16. Praise more, criticize less.17. Clean more, dirty less.18. Live more, do not just exist.19. Be the answer, not the question.20. Be a lover, not a hater.21. Be a painkiller, not a pain giver.22. Think more, react less.23. Be more uncommon, less common.And now that we have been given 23 choices that are up to us, let’s start making them.
In this episode Jon Gordon interviews Coach George Raveling. Quoteables below. George, in his 80's at the time of this recording, is a living legend. He is Nike’s former Director of International Basketball and the first African American head basketball coach in the PAC-8 (now PAC-12). Coach Raveling has held head coaching jobs at Washington State, The University of Iowa, and USC. Following a prolific basketball coaching career, he joined Nike at the request of Phil Knight, where he played an integral role in signing a reluctant Michael Jordan. He’s also been inducted in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as well as the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. During this conversation George shares his perspective on winning in sports, business and the game of life... as well as a fascinating story of how he came to possess the original copy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Connect with George on Twitter @GeorgeRaveling or at CoachGeorgeRaveling.com A few quoteables from this interview: Some people say "I don’t have time." No, all you have is time. It’s how you prioritize your time that matters. The problem is… we get into WHO is right and WHO is wrong vs WHAT is right and WHAT is wrong. Don’t be so focused on winning on the court that it blinds you from helping those you coach win off the court. The minute you think you’ve won, you’ve lost. - Phil Knight Every day I remind myself I am traveling on a path to BETTER. I ask myself every day: "What did I do today to make myself a better person today than I was yesterday?” I’ve always had this theory that, if you help enough people get what they want, you’ll always get what you want. Information = Knowledge Knowledge = Wisdom Wisdom = Opportunity
The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk Episode #281: George Raveling - Eight Decades Of Wisdom: From Dr. Martin Luther King To Michael Jordan Show Notes: Commonalities of sustaining excellence: Growth mindset Immense curiosity High level of self awareness -- "It starts within" Great vision Most important = "they execute" Relationship lessons learned over eight decades - "Be a giver, not a taker. Try to genuinely help people." Develop trust, respect, and care for others -- "It's all about love. Don't keep score. Do the right thing, be kind, but don't keep score or trade favors. That's not how it works." Standing next to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr for the "I Have A Dream" speech Asking Dr. King for the speech after he finished (and getting it... still has it!) Why he won't sell of try to profit from the speech despite it being worth millions The power of "showing up early" and "asking for what you want" Why Coach reads so much -- "The slave owners used to hide money in books because they knew slaves would never look in the books because they couldn't read." -- "If someone can control my mind, they can control my body. I will not let that happen. Books are my mistress." Information = knowledge = wisdom = opportunity = growth = success The importance of his upbringing - His dad died when he was 9, his mom was institutionalized when he was 13. He was raised by his grandmother and nuns. "My grandmother taught me to be curious. She taught me to ask. She taught me good manners. She taught me humility. She taught me to help people. She was the #metoo movement before the #metoo movement" How basketball was the "greatest vehicle for transformation in my life." Earned scholarship to Villanova -- When George was first offered a scholarship, he didn't know what that meant. Going from player to coach and why he was suited to be a great coach Becoming the first African American head coach of the Pac 8 (Pac 12) The mindset of thinking of yourself as an educator/teacher George is a voracious reader and marks up each and every page of the books he likes (I saw first hand and it's amazing) The importance for older people to have 4-5 younger mentors in their life. Ryan Holiday plays this role for Coach. The importance of self leadership - "You must take care of yourself before trying to lead others" Working at Nike for Phil Knight -- Helping sign Michael Jordan away from Adidas Focus on being a great decision maker and seeking out growth opportunities Why you don't need a title to be an effective leader In order to be promoted, focus on being incredibly great at what you're doing right now "Be so good they can't ignore you." The 10 realities of life Coach Raveling values most at age 81 Pushing Coach to write a book about living a great life -- Tweet him to do this!

Former Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro joined the show. He talks NBA Finals, Jordan, LeBron, Nike, LaVar Ball, George Raveling, and more.
LaVar Ball is trying to get a billion dollar deal for his Big Baller Brand and right now it’s not going so hot. Nike, Under Armour, and Adidas all said they are not interested in Lonzo Ball. Nike consultant George Raveling called LaVar “the worst thing to happen to basketball in the last hundred years.” Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy try and give some advice to LaVar Ball. If he brought us on board how would we try and help him right this ship? The biggest problem he’s running into is that he’s putting the Big Baller Brand before the success of Lonzo Ball. The model he is trying to fix isn’t broken. There is no incentive for the top brands to create a partnership deal where they promote Big Baller Brand. If he wanted to create a billion dollar disruptive brand, how would he need to do it? In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.

“The best feedback is what we don't want to hear.”George RavelingOne of the most respected and revered figures in sport, George Raveling is basketball — and so much more than basketball.The current Director of International Basketball for Nike, he was the first African American basketball coach at Villanova, University of Maryland, Washington State and University of Iowa before closing out a storied career at USC.He is an inductee into several halls of fame, including the College Basketball Hall of Fame and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.He is a civil rights activist, outspoken on a wide array of social issues at the intersection of race, education and athletics.A world-class educator, he is a moulder of boys into men, and men into better men.Bottom line? George Raveling is the mentor you wish you had.But you can just call him Coach.This week I sit down with a truly remarkable man. A 79-year old with the vibrancy and energy of a college student, I was immediately struck by George's insatiable thirst for learning. His passion for ideas. And his devotion to people, human potential & personal development.Coach has lived life. And he's got stories to prove it. Inspirational stories about breaking racial barriers during the era of segregation. Instructive accounts of owning your destiny. And of course there's the legendary saga of how a young George came to stand alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington as Dr. King delivered his historic I Have A Dream speech.There's so much more to this incredible story — and to George — but I'm not going to spoil it here. I'll let Coach tell it in his own words.This is a phenomenal conversation about breaking barriers. It's about self-governance, self-belief and self-responsibility. It’s about literacy, civil rights and humanity.And it's about the importance of being a positive difference maker in the world.An absolute gem of a human being, George is a national treasure. I loved every second of my time with him and something tells me you will too.So take a knee and huddle up, because Coach has a message for you.Peace + Plants,P.S. – As I only had 75 minutes with George, we barely scratched the surface on his life and wisdom. So please consider this episode a mere first installment in what I can foresee as a series of powerful exchanges. If you enjoyed this conversation, let me know what else you would like to hear from Coach by leaving your thoughts on reddit and perhaps I can cajole him to return for some pinpointed discussions on specific topics related to human potential, performance and personal development.Listen & Subscribe on iTunes | Soundcloud | Stitcher | GooglePlaySpots are still available for our next retreat — for info visit plantpowerworld.comCheck out Julie’s new podcast divine throughlineThanks to this week’s sponsors:Harrys.com: A superior shave at an affordable price.
