Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.

If pursuing material things becomes your only goal, you will fail in so many ways. Besides, in time all material things go away.

All of life is peaks and valleys. Don't let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low.

I don't believe in praying to win.

Good coaching is about leadership and instilling respect in your players. Dictators lead through fear - good coaches do not.

It's not how big you are, it's how big you play.

I'd be satisfied just coaching in high school. I turned down a number of colleges when I was teaching in South Bend, Indiana, before I went into the service. I honestly believe that if I hadn't enlisted in the service, I would never have left high school teaching. I'm sure I would have never left.
