Throughout the season, I look into my players eyes to gauge feelings, confidence levels, and to establish instant trust.

Champions play as they practice. Create a consistency of excellence in all your habits.

When I was growing up, there weren't any Little Leagues in the city. Parents worked all the time. They didn't have time to take their kids out to play baseball and football.

If you have talent with teamwork, you've got a chance to be a championship team.

When I was in sixth grade, I wanted to become a priest.

There are kids don't want to do something because they're afraid of looking stupid to their peers. There comes a time when they start protecting themselves, instead of extending. I want to make sure that they're always trying to extend themselves.

There are always those times when you're going to be down. It's how you step through it that makes you the person you are.
