It is important for us to see that our mentors are human and therefore fallible; it makes our own shortcomings more tenable.

A coach's primary function should be not to make better players, but to make better people

Never try to be better than somebody else. But most importantly, never cease trying to be the best you can be.

I think anyone's success depends on working hard, Industriousness and Enthusiasm, enjoying what you are doing. You can't work your best if you're not enjoying what you are doing. No way you can force yourself to.

Being true to ourselves doesn't make us people of integrity. Charles Manson was true to himself, and as a result, he rightly is spending the rest of his life in prison. Ultimately, being true to our Creator gives us the purest form of integrity.

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

We can have no progress without change, whether it be basketball or anything else.
