In this episode, I interview Coach Eric Reveno. Coach Reveno currently coaches Georgia Tech basketball. He’s also coached at University of Portland and Stanford. At University of Portland, Reveno served 10 years as head coach. It was an honor to interview Coach Reveno, he has outstanding qualities, and an important perspective.

We discussed the three most important qualities that college coaches look for in high school recruits:

• Academic
• Psychological
• Physical

From there, Coach Reveno shared his wonderful experiences while coaching at University of Portland. We also spent some time discussing the pros and cons of AAU Basketball. Coach Reveno concluded the interview by reflecting on the recruitment of Jazz Johnson.

Here are some quotes from Coach Reveno’s Twitter( @CoachReveno )

1. Basketball is a game of balance. Most often when you want to get your best scorer more opportunities, you need to work to make others more a threat.
2. If you want to be a coach, practice solving problems before they occur.
3. To paraphrase Aristotle, “you are what you do on a daily basis.” Your habits make you. You can’t have people judge you just by your good days.
