Coach Calipari: Become The Best Version Of Ourselves

At the Final Four press conference, Coach Cal talked about the importance of being the best version of ourselves in performance.  his conversations with his team leading up to their game against Wisconsin.  He said that their sole concern was themselves and that he preached to them that they have one job individually, and that is to get themselves prepared physically and mentally to be the best versions of themselves.

He also said that if he could count on them for effort, they could count on him for adjustments.  We can argue back and forth whether or not the Kentucky players just didn't make plays down the stretch,  we can argue whether or not the coaching staff put them in the best position to be successful, and we can argue about the significance of them not having watched film on Wisconsin.  But, we can't argue with the fact that one of our main purposes as coaches is to get our guys to grow into become the best versions of themselves and to play at that level.
