Rest when you need to, but never quit.

Don't whine, complain, or make excuses.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.

If you spend too much time learning the 'tricks' of the trade, you may not learn the trade. There are no shortcuts. If you're working on finding a short cut, the easy way, you're not working hard enough on the fundamentals. You may get away with it for a spell, but there is no substitute for the basics. And the first basic is good, old fashioned hard work.

It's not what you teach, it's what you emphasize.

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.
