A leader has to show the face his team needs to see.

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

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

Whatever a leader does now sets up what he does later. And there's always a later.

When I was growing up, there weren't any Little Leagues in the city. Parents worked all the time. They didn't have time to take their kids out to play baseball and football.

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.

In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.
