putting a human face on players

Post by KITNooga » February 10th, 2020, 11:01 am

easy, I know, to talk tough, harsh about our kids and how they play. focus on outcomes.

tougher at times to remember that these are great young people working hard. giving max effort.



reminds me of why I love these kids. respect their effort. wish for more as a fan, but 'do better at staying positive' for all the right reasons.

kit, good coaching on your part. thanks for posting the video. carti's right. they've been so close so many times. and somehow, they need to start the games better.

I definitely agree with what you said, but what was the video about? It does not show up on my computer.

carti said he was focused on winning not the nba. he said to get to the nba, k-state needs to win. the focus now was on beating oSu.

I chose that video because I have been critical of Carti at times this season. But watching it, seeing Carti, hearing his words... it made me feel a little small. helped ME to gain a different perspective.

I was able to earn one of these. thankful every day for the opportunity to compete, to travel. to work with my 'band of brothers'. brothers to this very day now some 30+ years later.

I should have a better appreciation of what it is, what it takes, from these kids.
family is more than just a word. to me.
