This is my 4th blog and I am reallllll tired.

1. A quote that I had a reaction to that Coach K said was, "I believe God gave us crises for some reason-and it certainly wasn't for us to say that everything about them is bad. A crisis can be a momentous time for a team to grow-if a leader handles it properly." I really like this quote, because I honestly feel that way about everything thing. When something happens, even if it doesn't turn it good, you have to smile because it happened in the first place. You enjoyed it while it lasted and you have those memories to look back on and learn from the mistakes you made that are making it not work out now.
2. I think a lot of basketball coaches go by these traits. I don't know anyone personally who goes by any of these traits, but I would think that the tips and leadership things Coach K describes in here would be the same for them. For example when a player gets hurt, your parent mode sort of comes on, then when the player is taken care of you're back to being a leader and after that incident you have more of a drive to get your players back out there and get that win.
3. I personally don't think leadership itself is very important, because it isn't mandatory to be a leader to be live, but if you want to make good money and do something bigger with your life you need to have good teamwork skills and a team always needs a leader. It is important for us to look at what others do as leaders for inspiration because we don't know what to do already on our own.
