What you are capable of achieving is determined by your talent and ability. What you attempt to do is determined by your motivation. How well you do something is determined by your attitude.

We are not going to win because you have a new head coach, any more than you are going to fix a flat tire by changing the driver. We will win the minute all of us get rid of excuses as to why we can't win and stop wallowing in self-pity.

You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

Give your players something they can physically do - don't ask them to do something they can't do.

Don't ever ask a player to do something he doesn't have the ability to do. He'll just question your ability as a coach, not his as an athlete.

So what if someone wrote your obituary... that doesn't mean you are obligated to die.

When people need love and understanding and support the most is when they deserve it the least.
