You can motivate players better with kind words than you can with a whip.
We compete, not so much against an opponent, but against ourselves. The real test is this: Did I make my best effort on every play?
If you are going to be a champion, you must be willing to pay a greater price.
The quality of your play never counts as much as the quality of your effort.
If a team is to reach its potential, each player must be willing to subordinate his personal goals to the good of the team.
Every game is an opportunity to measure yourself against your own potential.
