Coach Auriemma explains what separates elite players: they find another gear when everyone else is exhausted. His program doesn't have to teach effort or energy, just how to sustain it when it matters most.

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 you're working on that. We're not here to coach your energy level and your effort. That's. That's a given. You wouldn't be here if I had to coach that. That's what other coaches have to do. They have to coach energy. We don't.
