You can't have any quit in you if you want to be successful.

I have a love-hate relationship with losing. I hate how it makes me feel, which is basically sick. But I love what it brings out.

It's my experience that people rise to the level of their own expectations and of the competition they seek out.

Teamwork is really a form of trust. It's what happens when you surrender the mistaken idea that you can go it alone and realize that you won't achieve your individual goals without the support of your colleagues.

It is what it is. But, it will be what you make it.

Losing strengthens you. It reveals your weaknesses so you can fix them

I never ask Candace Parker if she was thinking about leaving because I never had any reason to believe she would. I just kept the focus on the team and on Candace and the role she played for us.
