Shared victory is a double victory, shared defeat is half-defeat.

You can be harsh on your players and still coach, but it is easier when you are kind to them.

If there is something a coach might wish to see changed in a player or team, the first place to check and see if it could not be done better is in yourself.

False teammates are like our shadows. They keep close to us when we are all walking in the sunshine, but they are gone the instant we just go into the shade, let alone the darkness.

Never underestimate your players; they can do it with enough game-like practice. Coaches must put more emphasis in practice and in life on making student-athletes aware of what they could or can do, rather than what they couldn't or presently can't do. The focus must be on solutions, not problems; what is wanted, not what is feared.

Coaching is something that takes place only when learning does. No matter what you are doing in your practices, if your players are not learning something significant, you're really not coaching. If a player fails in a game, the coach may have failed in practice.

There is nothing less important in life than the score after one game of a two out of three game match.
