My philosophy in life is, Decide what you want to do. You have to have something to hope for.

It's not my job to motivate players. They bring extraordinary motivation to our program. It's my job not to de-motivate them.

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 many times people are afraid of competition, when it should bring out the best in us. We all have talents and abilities, so why be intimidated by other people's skills?

I won't accept anything less than the best a player's capable of doing... and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!

No matter how bad someone has it, there are others who have it worse. Remembering that makes life a lot easier and allows you to take pleasure in the blessings you have been given.
