It's not the will to win that matters-everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.

Here's a twenty, bury two.

Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.

The biggest mistake coaches make is taking borderline cases and trying to save them. I'm not talking about grades now, I'm talking about character. I want to know before a boy enrolls about his home life, and what his parents want him to be.

Don't talk too much or too soon.

Most coaches study the films when they lose. I study them when we win -to see if I can figure out what I did right

If you don't learn anything but self discipline, then athletics is worthwhile.
