I have a plan of action, but the game is a game of adjustments.

During the season, your team should be led with exuberance and excitement. You should live the journey. You should live it right. You should live it together. You should live it shared. You should try to make one another better. You should get on one another if somebody's not doing their part. You should hug one another when they are. You should be disappointed in a loss and exhilarated in a win. It's all about the journey.

You can't defer if you're the person who's in the leadership position.

Even though we want huge individual egos, our collective ego is unbelievable.

In our program, the truth is the basis of all we do. There is nothing more important than the truth because there's nothing more powerful than the truth. Consequently, on our team, we always tell each other the truth. We must be honest with one another. There is no other way.

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

Each group and each youngster is different. As a leader or coach, you get to know what they need.
