"Now you guys understand the standard. You see the standard. This ain't not mistake. And we want to seee who would pass out. Who would shatter it down, who would quit, Who would lean it to the back. Push yourself."(17:25)

Coach Prime then talked about how he wanted his players to embrace their individuality, including their strengths and weaknesses.

"What separated you today? Something gotta separate you. What's gonna separate you tomorrow? You got all night to ponder about that thought and think about it.

"What's gonna separate us versus you then it's us. First is you then is us. Lot of coaches don't subscribe to that. So you got to do your job. You got to do your thing. Something got to separate you"
