I follow three rules: Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care.

Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God's word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin - and it's gonna happen - confession puts us back on the field.

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

After landing his invasion forces on the shores of some country, the sixteenth-century Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes would immediately burn his own boats. He was sending his army a message: "We can't turn back. Either we succeed here or we die here." Excuses were not an option.

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