Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse revealed that he thought of quitting coaching at the start of his career.
The coach, who brought Toronto the first ever championship, wasn’t sure that he was this good at the start of his career.
On a Q&A with the Raptors’ fans, Nurse admitted that he was on the verge of quitting the profession at the the time he was coaching in England.
“Sure. Coaching professionally in England – 15 or 16 games in & we were 8-8 & I was like I don’t know if I’m that good at this. I went home & wrote down 4 other things that I thought I could do & they all looked like sh!t to me, so I thought I’d better figure out how to coach.”
Admittedly, Nurse did something more than “figuring out how to coach”, leading the Toronto Raptors to their first NBA championship.
