If you see players who hate practice, their coach isn't doing a very good job.

I caution against beginning or ending a quotation with ellipses

To a winner, complacency and overconfidence can be destructive. To losers, desperation and despondency are just as harmful.

A burro is an ass. A burrow is a hole in the ground. As a journalist you are expected to know the difference.

Everybody isn't everybody.

The [best] coaches... know that the job is to win... know that they must be decisive, that they must phase people through their organizations, and at the same time they are sensitive to the feelings, loyalties, and emotions that people have toward one another. If you don't have these feelings, I do not know how you can lead anyone. I have spent many sleepless nights trying to figure out how I was going to phase out certain players for whom I had strong feelings, but that was my job. I wasn't hired to do anything but win.

Consistent effort is a consistent challenge.
