This is how coach Odom says, it’s intelligent, hard and hard. And it’s about being disciplined and doing things well on a daily basis. … What is done is who empowers your very good players and your very good children to lead the team and buy it and to be part of something they will look at for the rest of their lives And be proud that they were part of it.
