Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you. Focus all your effort on what is in your power to control.

A player who makes a team great is better than a great player.

I am not as good as I ought to be. I am not as good as I want to be. I am not as good as I'm going to be. But I am thankful that I am better than I used to be.

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

The leader has to command the respect of all those under his supervision - and he must be open to those under his supervision. Effective leadership means having a lot of people working toward a common goal. And when you have that with no one caring who gets the credit, you're going to accomplish a lot. If you have those just wanting the credit for themselves, you're not going to get as much accomplished.

Make your "yes" mean yes, and your "no" mean no.

People want to believe you are sincerely interested in them as a person, not just what they can do for you.
