Throughout my life, my mom has been the person that I've always looked up to.

I think coaching is confused at times as being an arrow that only goes to a player. Those players send arrows back to you, and that’s where a relationship is developed. I don’t make a player, and a player doesn’t make me a coach. We make each other.

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

You start developing a championship attitude by, first of all, telling kids that they are really good and that they have the potential to become better.

I'm looking for players who make their teammates better. You do that with enthusiasm and passion.
