The Carolina Way, By HOF Coach - Dean Smith. Legend. When he passed, Coach Smith left $200 for each of his former players for dinner. Here are 10 LIFE and COACHING Lessons from Coach Dean Smith. 1. Stay Humble - Stay Hungry "A lion never roars after a kill." 2. What's Done is Done "What to do with a mistake. Recognize it, Admit it, Learn from it, Forget it." 3. Give Credit Where Credit is Due "I do believe in praising that which deserves to be praised." 4. You Have Got to Care to Lead "The most important thing in good leadership is truly caring. The best leaders in any profession care about the people they lead, and the people who are being led know when the caring is genuine or when it is fake or not there at all." 5. Act With Honor and Integrity "Good people are happy when something good happens to someone else." 6. At the End of the Day, it's Just a Game. "If you make every game a life and death proposition, you are going to have problems. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot." 7. Surround Yourself With Winners "I would never recruit a kid who yells at his teammates, disrespects his high school coach, or scores 33 points per game, and his team goes 10-10." 8. Value What's Most Important "As soon as you try to describe a close friendship, it loses something." 9. Lead By Example "A leader's job is to develop committed followers. Bad leaders destroy their follower's sense of commitment." 10. Never Underestimate Teamwork "Play Hard. Play Smart. Play Together."
