Season 1, Ep. 3: Boston Celtics Coach Brad Stevens
You may know him as the brilliant head coach of the Boston Celtics, but did you know after his standout career as a Division III basketball player, Brad Stevens became the director of basketball operations at Butler in his early 20\u2019s, a position that paid a mere $18,000 a year. Unfazed, he spent 14 hours a day logging, categorizing and editing game tape and quickly earned a reputation as a relentless worker that valued the process.\n\nHere are several isolated responses from a brief in-person conversation I had with Coach Brad Stevens, in Las Vegas at the USA Basketball Fantasy Camp \u2013 back when I was the host of the Pure Sweat Basketball Show. We discussed why winning as a part of a team is the ultimate fulfillment, how he structures his practices with priority and urgency and how surrounding yourself with great people is the key to success.
