Latest / A Quick Timeout / Win. One. Won.
Transcript
- 0:05SPEAKER_01: This is a quick timeout for basketball coaches.
- 0:07SPEAKER_01: I'm Coach Tony Miller,
- 0:08SPEAKER_01: and on today's episode,
- 0:09SPEAKER_01: it's great to have back a familiar face head coach for the new college,
- 0:13SPEAKER_01: Mighty Banyans,
- 0:14SPEAKER_01: Coach Andrew Wingreen.
- 0:16SPEAKER_01: Coach, great to see you again.
- 0:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I appreciate you having me on.
- 0:19SPEAKER_01: It's always a pleasure to be on a quick timeout with you.
- 0:22Excited to have him on today to talk about his new book,
- 0:26Win 1-1,
- 0:28as you'll soon hear.
- 0:28A resource that I think a lot of you will not only enjoy
- 0:32reading,
- 0:32but will benefit from.
- 0:33And I'll start with the question that probably most already
- 0:37have the title,
- 0:38Win 1-1.
- 0:39SPEAKER_01: The meaning behind that is what?
- 0:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
- 0:42SPEAKER_00: so it's win like win a game,
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: won like the number one,
- 0:46SPEAKER_00: O-N-E,
- 0:47SPEAKER_00: and then won like I won the game,
- 0:49SPEAKER_00: W-O-N.
- 0:50SPEAKER_00: So I know when you hear it, it's a little confusing.
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: When you see it, it makes a little bit more sense.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: But it kind of came from this idea.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: We were actually on a road game up at Coastal Georgia this last season.
- 1:01And pregame talk,
- 1:02we were talking to our team about what we needed to do to have
- 1:06some success.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: And I wrote up on the board, win.
- 1:09And we talked about how we need to win every play,
- 1:12just win the next one,
- 1:14win the moment.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: And then I wrote the number one, O-N-E.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: And I said,
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: we have to do it one possession at a time,
- 1:19SPEAKER_00: one play at a time,
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: one possession,
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: one timeout,
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: one half.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: We just wanted to break the game down into small pieces.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: So I said, if we win every play, one possession at a time,
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: I said, at the end of the day, we'll have won the game.
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: And I wrote the word one up there.
- 1:33And obviously none of these,
- 1:35none of these things are new to coaches or players.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: It's things we talk about all the time.
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: That idea of,
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: having the right habits,
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: showing up with energy and effort,
- 1:44SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:44SPEAKER_00: having,
- 1:45sustained success through the next play mentality and this is
- 1:49stuff we all know but
- 1:50just kind of it clicked in my mind that hey this this is a an
- 1:53easy framework for
- 1:55coaches for players for our team just to remember and it was
- 1:58something that we we
- 1:59rallied around and we talked about and it just gave us a
- 2:02different focus and so
- 2:03that's kind of where the the title came from and then you know
- 2:06throughout the the
- 2:07writing process just really broke down what it means for each
- 2:10one of those those
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: frameworks
- 2:12SPEAKER_01: The book structured around these principles that you call the wins.
- 2:17Can you give a brief overview of what those are and then how
- 2:22they connect to the
- 2:23SPEAKER_01: journey of building a successful basketball team?
- 2:26SPEAKER_00: So the first one is win.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: And like I said, we win every moment one day at a time.
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: So win every moment.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: What does that look like?
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: And the first thing we talk about is having that winner's approach,
- 2:35SPEAKER_00: how we show up every single day.
- 2:37with the energy,
- 2:38the attitude,
- 2:39the effort,
- 2:40and the focus that's required to win.
- 2:42A lot of people,
- 2:43when you walk into a room,
- 2:45I think you instantly say something about yourself.
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: Your body language speaks,
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: the way your energy speaks,
- 2:50like you're either going to be a drain or you're going to
- 2:53elevate the energy in the
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: room.
- 2:55And so we really break down what that winner's approach looks
- 2:58like and how both as
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: coaches,
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: as athletes,
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: as entrepreneurs,
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: whatever it might be,
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: You know, how do we show up with the right approach?
- 3:06SPEAKER_00: So that's in that first segment.
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: Also, we talk about championship habits.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: Obviously we hear habits all the time.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: We have to develop good habits.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: we have to have the right work ethic,
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: this and that,
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: but we really try and break down what those,
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: what those habits look like,
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: what kind of processes and systems we need to put in place to make sure.
- 3:25We're able to attain those habits and really build them and
- 3:28then also distinguish
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: the difference between,
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: a normal habit and a championship habit.
- 3:32Because I think when we're striving for greatness and we want
- 3:35to see success and
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: ultimately significance,
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: there needs to be a different level of discipline.
- 3:40SPEAKER_00: There needs to be a different level of intentionality.
- 3:44That first framework,
- 3:45win,
- 3:46it's about the winner's approach and championship habits.
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: And then the second piece of it,
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: one,
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: O-N-E,
- 3:52SPEAKER_00: we talk about one day at a time,
- 3:54SPEAKER_00: one play at a time.
- 3:55And we start out talking about the next play mentality because
- 3:59I think it's so easy.
- 4:00SPEAKER_00: When things go good, things go bad, we stay in there, right?
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: We get hung up in those moments, good and bad.
- 4:07But we have to be able to move on and move on quickly from
- 4:12mistakes,
- 4:12from success.
- 4:13SPEAKER_00: And so we really break down the difference between reacting to something.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: I think
- 4:18SPEAKER_00: As people,
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: as humans,
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: it's our natural,
- 4:21SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 4:21SPEAKER_00: we're wired naturally to react,
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: but how quickly we stay there and how long we stay there is really what's
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: important.
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: So we have to reset and then we have to respond.
- 4:30know champions and winners they respond because that's
- 4:33intentional it's something
- 4:34we have full control over we don't always have control over our
- 4:37reactions but we
- 4:38have full control over our responses and so we kind of dive
- 4:42into some adversity
- 4:43overcoming adversity and how we can you know build on that in
- 4:46that framework and
- 4:47then we finish the book off with one w-o-n and that's just
- 4:51talking about how we can
- 4:52SPEAKER_00: stack days stack wins
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: We can compound our success.
- 4:56SPEAKER_00: And ultimately,
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: we want to find significance because I think success,
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: it's really good for us to win games and feel good about ourselves.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: But success is very selfish.
- 5:07I think when we reach significance,
- 5:09that means we're making an impact on others.
- 5:11And so in this book,
- 5:12we want to take what we've learned and we want to take these
- 5:15steps.
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: But ultimately,
- 5:16it's about other people and how we can leave a legacy that's
- 5:20bigger than ourselves
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: and bigger than the scoreboard of just wins and losses.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: So
- 5:24SPEAKER_00: That's kind of it in a nutshell.
- 5:25SPEAKER_00: But yeah,
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: those three mindsets,
- 5:27SPEAKER_00: three frameworks,
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: I think are things that players,
- 5:30SPEAKER_00: coaches,
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: business people,
- 5:32SPEAKER_00: they can all take and really have as a solid foundation to build on.

- 6:26SPEAKER_01: There is the concept of winning the day that's mentioned quite a bit.
- 6:31SPEAKER_01: And it's a phrase that we hear a lot in coaching circles,
- 6:34SPEAKER_01: but you give it some very specific,
- 6:36SPEAKER_01: actionable framework.
- 6:38SPEAKER_01: What does winning the day truly look like?
- 6:41And then maybe more importantly,
- 6:43how do you instill that mindset into your players?
- 6:47yeah i mean i think that we hear that all the time right like
- 6:49coach i want to win
- 6:50or yeah i want to i want to have 20 win season like we all want
- 6:53to win but it's
- 6:55really hard to to know how to do that and the attributes that
- 6:59actually lead to
- 6:59winning and so i think in order for us to win the day it comes
- 7:03down to consistency
- 7:04and it comes down to intentionality and so again in the book we
- 7:08really try and
- 7:08break down like not just talking about it but actually being
- 7:12about it and then if
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: we're going to be about it what does that look like and so
- 7:15with our players you know in our program and i i would hope
- 7:19other coaches are kind
- 7:20of taking this to heart is the biggest thing is you have to be
- 7:23intentional you
- 7:24can't just you know throw this stuff out there talk about it
- 7:27and hope it works like
- 7:28SPEAKER_00: there is systems systems and processes that we have to put together to be
- 7:32intentional with and then we have to do those every single day
- 7:36it is it's about
- 7:37winning that moment the small thing the next thing in front of
- 7:39you but doing it
- 7:40every day like you got to show up with that winner's approach
- 7:43every day it can't
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: just be
- 7:45one day one week one month it's got to become who we are and i
- 7:49think that's another
- 7:50aspect in this book that we get into is is our identity and
- 7:53it's a two-fold right
- 7:54because i think our identity is how we show up and like who we
- 7:57are from that aspect
- 7:58but it's also where we get that power from and you know for me
- 8:02that's that's jesus
- 8:03christ and so our identity is really important because it
- 8:07dictates what we do next
- 8:09And if we don't know why we do something or who we do it for or
- 8:13what we're all
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: about,
- 8:14SPEAKER_00: oftentimes our feelings get in the way.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: And, you know, we act on those as opposed to acting with our identity.
- 8:20So,
- 8:20you know,
- 8:20got to be intentional,
- 8:21got to be consistent in all these things.
- 8:23SPEAKER_01: A lot of anecdotes and stories in the book, any particular one.
- 8:28SPEAKER_01: I mean, a moment.
- 8:30that you feel best illustrates the power of the principles in
- 8:34this book it all kind
- 8:35of stems like i said from that identity and and so i think the
- 8:38thing that's really
- 8:39neat about writing this book is it's a fable when i initially
- 8:42started writing it i
- 8:43just wanted to do a leadership type book and i was having a
- 8:47hard time making it
- 8:48flow i felt like personal stories like i i didn't always want
- 8:52to get into them or i
- 8:53SPEAKER_00: didn't know how to share them and it just it felt more about me
- 8:56and so writing it as a story was really cool because i could
- 8:59take different
- 9:00characters whether it's the coaches or the players or the
- 9:03people in their lives and
- 9:05i could use personal experiences but kind of disperse them in
- 9:09different people but
- 9:09i could also take things i've learned from you know people like
- 9:12you or people like
- 9:14donnie jones brendan sir coaches who have mentored me in my
- 9:17college time or my high
- 9:18SPEAKER_00: school time and i could take those principles and
- 9:21ingrain them into the characters in different ways and so i
- 9:25think for me you know
- 9:25we talk about that identity piece and in the book i talk about
- 9:28how you know one of
- 9:29the players is really struggling with his why with his identity
- 9:32and what his
- 9:33purpose is and i you know i went through that in college like i
- 9:36went through i had
- 9:37a heart disease i couldn't play basketball and so i was mad i
- 9:41was discouraged and i
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: blamed a lot of people for why i couldn't do something that i loved
- 9:47And it was these two coaches I had in college who really came
- 9:50alongside of me and
- 9:51SPEAKER_00: they showed me how I can use coaching to impact people,
- 9:54SPEAKER_00: how I can still use the game of basketball for good.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: And it really changed my mindset.
- 9:59SPEAKER_00: It changed my perspective.
- 10:00But the only reason it was able to do that was because they
- 10:03helped me see that I
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: had a bigger purpose in life because of my identity and God.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: And so I talk about that story in the book and it's,
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: one of those things that really sticks out to me.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: And that's, that's kind of the foundation for,
- 10:15You know,
- 10:16success in general is really just knowing why you do something,
- 10:18who you do it for.
- 10:19SPEAKER_01: You describe the concept of one as a state of being a mentality.
- 10:24How do you as a coach help your athletes move from a focus of
- 10:29the singular win to a
- 10:31SPEAKER_01: more sustainable,
- 10:33SPEAKER_01: holistic mindset of one?
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: I don't want to say winning is easy because winning is not easy.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of steps that go into it,
- 10:40but we can get really excited when we can do things for a
- 10:44little bit of time.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: We can strike gold.
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: We can have a good week, a good day.
- 10:48We can catch somebody on an off day and we can win games or we
- 10:51can feel really good
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: about ourselves.
- 10:53SPEAKER_00: And there's nothing wrong with that.
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: There's power to that.
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: And I think we have to take those moments and we have to build on them.
- 10:59We have to compound them because when we get to that one,
- 11:02go from winning to have won,
- 11:05SPEAKER_00: You know, one just implies that we were able to do it every day.
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: We were able to, you know, to sustain the success.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: We were able to sustain our excellence.
- 11:14SPEAKER_00: It wasn't just a one day or a one season type thing.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: Like it became a lifestyle.
- 11:19And so I really want our guys and what I hope other coaches and
- 11:23other players,
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 11:24can can recognize is that if I can do this stuff consistently
- 11:28with intentionality
- 11:29SPEAKER_00: every single day,
- 11:31SPEAKER_00: I'm going to look back five, 10, 20 years from now.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: And that's where I think that idea of one,
- 11:36SPEAKER_00: like I'll have won the day because now I've seen that success.
- 11:40SPEAKER_00: I've seen how the hard work pays off.
- 11:42I've seen how showing up every day paid off,
- 11:44even though it wasn't easy in the moment.
- 11:47it paid off and so um the ultimate goal is is to kind of get to
- 11:51that place again
- 11:52where you find significance and that's it's hard for people to
- 11:56understand who
- 11:56haven't been there but i think for myself as i'm i feel like
- 11:59i'm starting to get to
- 12:00SPEAKER_00: that point where like my life and my career has been a lot about success
- 12:04SPEAKER_00: But now that I've had more impact on players and other coaches,
- 12:08SPEAKER_00: I see that there's a significance.
- 12:10SPEAKER_00: I think our significance when we can rub off,
- 12:12SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 12:13SPEAKER_00: hey,
- 12:14helping our players see who they are in Jesus or helping our
- 12:17coaches see that they
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: have a lot more to give.
- 12:20SPEAKER_00: Like there's a significance in helping others.
- 12:22And so I think that's the transition and the mindset shift
- 12:25where we go from winning
- 12:26and being able to do it every once in a while or for a short
- 12:29period of time.
- 12:30SPEAKER_00: to just making this, this is who we are and this is what I do.
- 12:33SPEAKER_00: And I think that's a powerful shift in mindset.
- 12:37You've alluded to the fact that this is not just for basketball
- 12:40coaches or players.
- 12:42SPEAKER_01: If someone,
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: anyone picks up the book and can only remember one thing,
- 12:47SPEAKER_01: maybe one core message,
- 12:49SPEAKER_01: what do you hope that that is?
- 12:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think it is.
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: It's kind of the title of the book.
- 12:54SPEAKER_00: I want you to win what's right in front of you, whatever task it is.
- 12:58SPEAKER_00: And it can be any sport,
- 12:59whether you're a baseball player going to an at-bat or a tennis
- 13:02player going into a
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: match,
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: or you have a business that you're running,
- 13:06SPEAKER_00: or maybe you're in sales and you have a big sales phone call.
- 13:10How can I show up for this opportunity right now with that
- 13:14winner's approach?
- 13:15SPEAKER_00: I want to win this moment that's in front of me.
- 13:18And again,
- 13:19now we be consistent and I want them to understand,
- 13:21okay,
- 13:21I did it.
- 13:22SPEAKER_00: I did a great job with it.
- 13:23SPEAKER_00: I saw some success.
- 13:24I gained some confidence,
- 13:26but now how do I do this over and over and over again?
- 13:30SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 13:31SPEAKER_00: And it's,
- 13:31SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 13:31SPEAKER_00: there's going to be some bumps in the road,
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: but you got to do it one day at a time.
- 13:35SPEAKER_00: So you might have a bad day.
- 13:36SPEAKER_00: You might have a bad phone call.
- 13:38SPEAKER_00: You might have a bad,
- 13:39meeting in the boardroom,
- 13:41but how are you going to overcome that and move on to that next
- 13:44play?
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: So when that moment one day at a time,
- 13:47SPEAKER_00: like that's really the,
- 13:48SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 13:48SPEAKER_00: it's the subtitle of the book when every moment one day at a time.
- 13:52SPEAKER_00: And I truly believe that if we can do those things over,
- 13:55SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 13:56SPEAKER_00: over our lives,
- 13:57SPEAKER_00: we're going to look back and see that we've won at the end of the day.
- 14:00SPEAKER_00: So I just kind of want that,
- 14:02SPEAKER_00: those phrases and that mentality to,
- 14:04SPEAKER_00: to resonate with people,
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: whether it's basketball sports or
- 14:08SPEAKER_00: or just life in general.
- 14:09SPEAKER_01: Before I let you go,
- 14:10SPEAKER_01: tell us where we can get this,
- 14:12when we can get this and anything else that you think that they
- 14:15need to know.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: So the book releases on August 12th.
- 14:20SPEAKER_00: It's going to be available on Amazon is kind of the main place,
