It is the ultimate honor for a coach to be his country's coach.

Why do you play a game? I play a game to see how good we can be.

It's always an honor to be ranked high, but whatever is said about you, you take it and then take a realistic look at yourself and who you are.

When you are speaking to your team after a game, never talk about the kid who was the star of the game. Talk about what your other players did to help the team win. Be sure to spread the wealth... Then have individual meetings with one to three players to praise and reinforce. Make sure you touch them.

Leadership is an ever-evolving position.

Defense is one man guarding the ball and four others helping him

The other thing I knew I had was a high level of competitiveness.
