When you're young, you don't realize the sacrifices that people are making for you.

We're professional athletes. People know who we are, and if there's some way we can help with a friend or someone in need, that's a responsibility we have. I really strongly believe that.

You don't win by being good. You win with hard work and sacrifice. Without that, skill is just potential.

Developing better people should be the number one goal for any coach when dealing with kids. In trying to develop better people, we are going to develop more and better pros.

Once you turn pro and you're making the big money and kids are buying your sneakers and your skates and your gloves and so on, you are a member of that role model club.

So many of today's programs are about trophies and jackets, and we think that's a big mistake.

I'm really no different than anybody else; except that sometimes I get my name in the paper.
