If a team cannot perform with excellence at a moment's notice, they probably will fail in the long run.

Playing sport was somewhat frivolous, but I liked it. I rebelled a little bit, and wouldn't go to music lessons and things like that, but I would go and play ball. My parents learned to love it because they saw how much I got out of it.

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

Leaders should be reliable without being predictable. They should be consistent without being anticipated

Pete Newell told me 'get as much information and learn as much about the game as you can, but use your own personality to teach it.'
