A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand. If you can get them all together, you have a fist. That's how I want you to play.

Don't let a single game break your heart.

There are kids don't want to do something because they're afraid of looking stupid to their peers. There comes a time when they start protecting themselves, instead of extending. I want to make sure that they're always trying to extend themselves.

I believe a big part of leadership is about winning the moment.

When you are passionate, you always have your destination in sight and you are not distracted by obstacles. Because you love what you are pursuing, things like rejection and setbacks will not hinder you in your pursuit. You believe that nothing can stop you!

Don't do anything as an individual that will make you stand out from your teammates.

Throughout the season, I look into my players eyes to gauge feelings, confidence levels, and to establish instant trust.
