Listen if you want to be heard

Success is a personal matter - only you as an individual can tell if you did everything within your power to give your best effort

An effective leader allows exceptions to the rule for exceptional results or when circumstance demands.

Loyalty is very important when things get a little tough, as they often do when the challenge is great. Loyalty is a powerful force in producing one's individual best and more so in producing a team's best.

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.

There is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience.

Make a decision! Failure to act is often the biggest failure of all.
