Cooperation - To get cooperation, you must give cooperation. Always seek to find the best way rather than insisting on your own way.

No matter how you total success in the coaching profession it all comes down to a single factor - talent. There may be a hundred great coaches of whom you have never heard in basketball, football, or any sport who will probably never receive the acclaim they deserve simply because they have not been blessed with the talent. Although not every coach can win consistently with talent, no coach can win without it.

Make no mistake, I always want to win, but I never fight with an opponent. My fight is within me it is the struggle to be the best I can be at whatever I do.

I've never stopped trying to do what's right. I'm not doing it to earn favor with God. I'm doing it because it's the right thing to do.

Most people think of poise as calm, self-assured dignity; but I call it “just being you”.

It is amazing how much can be accomplished if no one cares who gets the credit.
