Respect every opponent, but fear none.

If a player's not doing the things he should, put him on the bench. He'll come around.

You never fail if you know in your heart that you did the best of which you are capable. I did my best. That is all I could do. Are you going to make mistakes? Of course. But it is not failure if you make the full effort.

Let’s face it, we’re all imperfect and we’re going to fall short on occasion. But we must learn from failure and that will enable us to avoid repeating our mistakes. Through adversity, we learn, grow stronger, and become better people.

Being your best when your best is needed. The ability to enjoy challenges when things become difficult and to derive exhilaration from them.

Too many people look on outscoring someone as winning, I never tried to get that across to my players.

Great leaders are always out front with a banner, instead of behind with a whip.
