You can respect a person without necessarily liking that individual.

No matter how you total success in the coaching profession it all comes down to a single factor - talent. There may be a hundred great coaches of whom you have never heard in basketball, football, or any sport who will probably never receive the acclaim they deserve simply because they have not been blessed with the talent. Although not every coach can win consistently with talent, no coach can win without it.

I'd be satisfied just coaching in high school. I turned down a number of colleges when I was teaching in South Bend, Indiana, before I went into the service. I honestly believe that if I hadn't enlisted in the service, I would never have left high school teaching. I'm sure I would have never left.

You have not taught until they have learned.

Success is a personal matter - only you as an individual can tell if you did everything within your power to give your best effort

Be prepared and be honest.

Acquire peace of mind by making the effort to become the best of which you are capable.
