On every team, there is a core group that sets the tone for everyone else. If the tone is positive, you have half the battle won. If it is negative, you are beaten before you ever walk on the field.

Watch the film, not the stopwatch.

As you gain experience, you mature as an individual, and along with that comes the confidence that you have the ability to solve problems.

If you want to win, do the ordinary things better than anyone else does them day in and day out.

The most interesting thing about this sport, at least to me, it the activity of preparation-any aspect of preparation for the games. The thrill isn't in the winning, it's in the doing.

Never make a major decision based solely on money.

A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
