In leadership, there are no words more important than trust. In any organization, trust must be developed among every member of the team if success is going to be achieved

People want to be on a team. They want to be part of something bigger than themselves. They want to be in a situation where they feel that they are doing something for the greater good.

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

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.

Embrace the hell out of personal responsibility.

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

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.
