🗣️Respect the GRIND‼️ 🛑 Before we qualify someone as an “NBA trainer” or “NBA coach,” we’ve got to #respectfulbow the ones in the trenches—coaching 82 games, sacrificing 24/7, living that life. Getting paid by the league counts, sure—but the mission stays the same: give the player in front of you your absolute best. Résumés matter, but presence matters more. Too many young trainers chase the tagline and miss the ride—the growth, the connection, the evolution that happens when you truly serve. Respect the craft. Respect the journey. 🥋✨✨✨ #dojo #mikeatkinson #PlayerFirst #NSTNCT
