What it comes down to, I believe, is that mentoring often involves telling people what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear. When you are able to be humbly honest with someone about a situation with which you have personal experience-even if you risk angering or hurting that person-you are offering the most valuable gift of all.

A life not lived for others is not a life, a game not played for others is not a game.

Good coaching is about leadership and instilling respect in your players. Dictators lead through fear - good coaches do not.

A good banker isn't careless with pennies; a good leader isn't sloppy about details.

An effective leader allows exceptions to the rule for exceptional results or when circumstance demands.

The Good Lord in his infinite wisdom, did not create us all equal when it comes to size, strength, appearance, or various aptitudes. But success is not being better than someone else, success is the peace of mind that is a direct result of self-satisfacti on in knowing that you gave your best effort to become the best of which you are capable.

Hustle makes up for many a mistake.
