Now this right here is how your promote your upcoming program, Vice Sports.
Hats off to whoever decided to clip this out.
Rick Pitino is one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time. He’s been stupid successful everywhere he’s been so it goes without saying that he’s a great motivator.
This old Italian son of a bitch has got me ready to run through a brick wall.
The clip is apparently from halftime of the St. John’s vs. Providence game in which Pitino’s team came back and won after being down.
How could you not be fired up to go win after watching this?
This thing is chock full of legendary quotes. This is exactly what you want to hear from a coach.
“We don’t care about your missed shots. Play fucking defense.”
“You’re like children. Instead of digging in and being tougher, you wilt. Where is your fucking toughness?”
“Where have you guys been raised that you’re so weak mentally?”
“Your whole life’s gonna be adversity. Learn how to fucking deal with it.”
Pitino: Red Storm Rising airs Tuesdays at 10 on VICE, according to the clip.
Seems like it’s worth a watch.
