Loyalty is a cohesive force that forges individuals into a team.

Good players can take coaching; great players can take coaching and learn.

A Dominican monk, Father Henri Didon, used it as a watchword for his pupils in sports at Arcueil College in Paris. Baron Pierre De Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympics, made it the Olympic Games ideal adopted at the Antwerp Games in 1920. I never mentioned winning to my players. I mentioned constantly that all I wanted them to do was the best they could. If they're good enough, the score will be to their liking; if they're not, it won't be but that's nothing to hang their head about. Sometimes the other fellow is just better than you are.

It's always about focusing not on the mistakes but on the lessons learned from them.

Push yourself to keep improving or you'll stay as close to the bottom as you are to the top

It's important to keep trying to do what you think is right no matter how hard it is or how often you fail. Never stop trying

Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.
