As a young professional I remember feeling very driven, something that mirrored my philosophy as it related to high school and college athletics, and later coaching, but now, as the knees get a little creakier and proofing sports stories requires reading glasses, I spend more time thinking about working smarter, not harder. I find it much more important to find work-life balance now than I did 10 years ago.

Kansas Pregame polled 8-Man coaches earlier this month who voted for the top four seniors they coached against this season.
