A short coaching monologue (YouTube clip) in which the speaker stresses that technical skills (ball screens, passing, cutting, defense) can be coached, but energy level and effort cannot—they must be innate or consistently trained. The speaker contrasts "good" and "great" players, claiming great players "don't get tired" and that sustaining effort daily is what separates great from good.

We can coach ball screens and passing into the post and cutting and playing defense. We. We're not here to coach your energy level and your effort. That's. That's a given. Difference between a really good player and a great player is great players don't get tired. They just don't. And what makes them great is when the good players get tired, the great player kicks their ass. That's the difference. So every day you're working on that every day.
