I admit it. I like Geno Auriemma.
On Sunday, Geno will lead his UConn team as they play in the NCAA Women's Final Four located in Indianapolis this year. The Huskies are going for their 4th straight National Championship.
Many people do not like Geno. Many people do not like UConn. Many people say that their dominance is bad for the game. I say excellence and the quest for perfection is not bad.
Shouldn't we all be trying to do what Geno has done with UConn? Shouldn't we all be seeking to be the best we can be regardless of circumstance or opponent. All of the motivational quotes that we like to spout about making ourselves better, persevering, and being self-disciplined are apparently fine and good except when we are talking about UCONN and Geno Auriemma. When they put all of those quotes into practice then they are not praised but rather vilified or dismissed.
