Get the winners into the game.

Expect the unexpected.

If there is one thing that has helped me as a coach, it's my ability to recognize winners, or good people who can become winners by paying the price.

Set goals - high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.

There is no substitute for guts.

Everybody's got pretty good players now, more players than there've ever been. If you play poorly, you're going to get beat.
