It'd be a different story if he was getting after people for stuff he wasn't willing to do, but since he also sets the bar himself, I love it.
Generally the coach was the one pushing that narrative.

But nowadays they’re too busy telling all the players that they’re the same. So that role has probably transitioned more to the players.

When I played back in the day all of the coaches pushed the players. On the better trams the players also held each other accountable.

It’s a bit of an artform to motivate people and not have them hate you. But if you find people that are good at it the organizations they are a part of generally excel.
