My athletes always follow my advice... unless it conflicts with what that they want to do.

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn't much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn't even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.

Remember. Every day, some ordinary person does something extraordinary. Today, it's your turn.

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

All my life, I've been trying to make a hole-in-one. The closest I've come is a bogey.

You build a successful life a day at a time.

In adversity, there is opportunity. Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity. I've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity. Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.
