I think that we as a people are always prone to think about, well, tomorrow will be a better day. Well, why will it be a better day? And I think the more that we believe in doing things better, doing the right thing rather than hoping that that's going to happen, let's make it happen.

The biggest difficulty in getting to the top of the ladder is getting through the crowd at the bottom.

Everybody wants to be on a championship team, but nobody wants to come to practice.

I think the ability to motivate might be interpreted as the ability to lead, or to show people their goals or, perhaps more important, what their potential is - as a person as well as a player. You've got to show players that being part of a team will carry over to the experience of becoming part of society.

I don't believe in luck, I believe in preparation.

I've never predicted anything. All I have ever said is, that we will do the very best we can.
