My ambition in high school was to be a high school coach and teacher, and that's still what I do: teach.

You have to work hard at staying in contact with your friends so that the relationships will continue and live on... Friendships, along with love, make life worth living.

The worst thing we can do is put the (other) team in a one-and-one.

I think leadership is never singular. In a good organization, it's plural.

When you are speaking to your team after a game, never talk about the kid who was the star of the game. Talk about what your other players did to help the team win. Be sure to spread the wealth... Then have individual meetings with one to three players to praise and reinforce. Make sure you touch them.

Leaders have to search for the heart on a team, because the person who has it can bring out the best in everybody else.

I had a really bad temper, when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.
