What is courage? Let me tell you what I think it is. An indefinable quality that makes a man put out that extra something, when it seems there is nothing else to give. I dare you to be better than you are. I dare you to be a thoroughbred.

Win, lose, or tie, you're gonna play like champions!

We should be dreaming. We grew up as kids having dreams, but now we're too sophisticated as adults, as a nation. We stopped dreaming. We should always have dreams.

You're playing worse and worse every day and right now you're playing like it's next month.

My recruiting key - I looked for PEOPLE first, athletes second. I wanted people with a sound value system as you cannot buy values. You're only as good as your values. I learned early on that you do not put greatness into people...but somehow try to pull it out.

Maybe I'm sort of like the players - there's still a lot of little boy in me.

You can't be common, the common man goes nowhere; you have to be uncommon
