"I've been around young, talented, non-coachable players. I've been around veteran, talented, non-coachable players. No matter what you do, sooner or later - even if a coach comes in that's able to connect with them - if that's who they are, they're going to go back to it"

This quote by Scott Brooks is describing the trouble of training gamers who are not willing to be coached. He is stating that no matter what a coach does, if a gamer is closed to being coached, they will eventually revert back to their old methods. This holds true for both young and seasoned gamers, despite their talent level. Brooks is highlighting the value of having gamers who are willing to be coached and available to finding out new things. He is likewise suggesting that even if a coach is able to connect with a player, it might not suffice to change their mindset towards coaching. Ultimately, it is up to the gamer to choose if they want to be coached and gain from their coach.
