Geno Auriemma, a Hall of Fame coach at UConn, shared his philosophy on what makes a great player. In a recent clip, he described the qualities he looks for in his team:
TalentedΒ β Auriemmaβs program consistently attracts top players. People expect UConn to recruit All-Americans, and they do. But talent alone isnβt enough.
UnselfishΒ β While he knows his players are talented, he looks for those who subordinate individual talent for the sake of others. Selflessness is a core trait in Auriemmaβs players.
Great TeammateΒ β A great teammate shows encouragement, support, and grace, even when facing challenges. Teams beat talent alone, but talented teams win championships.
Finally, βThey have to be able to pass.β With a team full of All-Americans, someone will always be open. If a player canβt or wonβt get the ball to the open teammate, itβs a problem.
Talent. Selflessness. Team spirit. Knowing every situation requires the βbestβ person for the job makes Auriemmaβs UConn program stand out.
