A champion pays an extra price to be better than anyone else.

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

Three rules for coaching: 1.) Surround yourself with people who can't live without football. 2.) Recognize winners. They come in all forms. 3.) Have a plan for everything.

I told them my system was based on the "ant plan," that I'd gotten the idea watching a colony of ants in Africa during the war. A whole bunch of ants working toward a common goal.

You take those little rascals, talk to them good, pat them on the back, let them think they are good, and they will go out and beat the biguns.

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it's what his players know that counts.

First there are those who are winners, and know they are winners. Then there are the losers who know they are losers. Then there are those who are not winners, but don't know it. They're the ones for me. They never quit trying. They're the soul of our game.
