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

Let me start with issuing you a challenge: Be better than you are. Set a goal that seems unattainable, and when you reach that goal, set another one even higher.

You're looking for players whose name on the front of the sweater is more important than the one on the back. I look for these players to play hard, to play smart and to represent their country.

You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here. This moment is yours.

If you give 99 percent, you will make my job very easy.

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.

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