Episode 116: Today’s guest needs no introduction. Anyone listening to the Hoop commitment podcast knows who Jay Bilas is. And I feel so lucky that I was able to pick his brain on what it means to be tough. If you’re like me, you read his legendary ESPN article and immediately shared it with your players and coaches. It was the first time that someone defined toughness in a way that inspired me.
Toughness isn't about pounding your chest after a routine play or getting in an opponent’s face. It isn't about being physically intimidating. Jay defined toughness as setting good screens, running to a teammate when they need help up and talking on defense. I loved the article so much that I bought his book, and in preparation for this interview, I just read it again.
It is full of amazing stories from when he played at Duke, when got drafted in the NBA, when coached alongside Coach K, and when got his law degree. There’s very few people that are more qualified to write a book on toughness than Jay Bilas. He lives it every day with the amount of preparation he does as an ESPN announcer and the humility he shows as he lifts up those around him. If you want to learn what it means to be tough on & off the court, you’ll love this interview.
