I want to be the best. That's just the human way.

I'm not afraid to fail. I'm afraid to be mediocre.

The past isn't going to get you to your goal.

Football is a chess game to me. If you move your pawn against my bishop, I'll counter that move to beat you. Football is the same way. I study so much film that I know exactly what teams are going to do. I love knowing what a offense is going to run and stuffing that play.

In order to gain the respect of your players in the locker room, you can't just perform on Saturday. You have to do it consistently during practices, meetings, and in the weight room.

You see a hockey player, you'd never know he's a professional athlete. But you put the skates on him, and he becomes a beast.

No excuses and no sob stories. Life is full of excuses if you're looking. I have no time to gripe over misfortune. I don't waste time looking back.
