Every time a player goes out there, at least 20 people have some amount of influence on him. His mother has more influence than anyone. I know because I played, and I loved my mama.

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.

There is no sin in not liking to play; it's a mistake for a boy to be there if he doesn't want to.

I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude. The coaches must have it. The players must have it. The student body must have it. If you have dedicated players who believe in themselves, you don't need a lot of talent.

Don't give up. Reach down inside of you and you'll find something left.

Don't tolerate lazy people. They are losers.

When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: 1. Admit it. 2. Learn from it, and 3. Don't repeat it.
