Surround yourself with people strong enough to change your mind.

Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability. Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are. Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.

You get ideas across better through listening and the pat-on-the-back method than you do with a kick on the pants.

The better conditioned team will probably win in the long run.

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

When you see a successful individual, a champion, you can be very sure that you are looking at an individual who pays great attention to the perfection of minor details.

A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group - that's teamwork.
