Coach Tony Bennett on the Power of Humility

In this video, Bennett-a former NBA player, and recognized in the basketball world as one of the greatest coaches of our time-speaks with Sonia Jones about the value of humility for basketball players both on and off the court. Losing a game, he says, generally relates to a loss of identity: when we’re humble, we know what we are and we know what we’re not. “The aim is not false humility,” he says, but rather a balanced understanding of who we really are. This is the first of Bennet’s five pillars, which are central to his coaching methods.
