Only the unprepared are overcome by pressure

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It's good for them.

The freedom to do your own thing ends when you have obligations and responsibilities. If you want to fail yourself - you can - but you cannot do your own thing if you have responsibilities to team members.

Underconfidence breeds underachievement.

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.

I've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity.

The problem with having a sense of humor is often that people you use it on aren't in a very good mood.
