First be the best and then be first

In my opinion, being an effective leader requires being an effective listener. The most productive leaders are usually those who are consistently willing to listen and learn.

I think you have to be what you are. Don't try to be somebody else. You have to be yourself at all times.

Make friendship a fine art.

We can become great in the eyes of others, but we'll never become successful when we compromise our character and show disloyalty toward friends or teammates. The reverse is also true: No individual or team will become great without loyalty.

We may not be the best conditioned team in the country, but our players think they are.

Details create success.
