Make your "yes" mean yes, and your "no" mean no.

Work without joy is drudgery. Drudgery does not produce champions, nor does it produce great organizations.

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.

Leaders must have patience for those under your supervision. Don't expect too much too soon. Maybe it was easy for you, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy for somebody else. Be sure you have patience.

A Coach must never forget that he is a leader and not merely a person with authority.

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

As long as you try your best, you are never a failure. That is, unless you blame others.
