It's harder to stay on top than it is to make the climb, Continue to seek new goals.

You can't always be the most talented person in the room. But you can be the most competitive

I love teaching I think more than anything. It's the opportunity to just teach young people and teach the game. You teach more than basketball. You teach life skills. The teaching part of it is something that I am passionate about. I look forward to every practice. A lot of people say well, I enjoy coaching, but I see myself as more as a teacher.

By doing things when you are too tired, by pushing yourself farther than you thought you could - like running the track after a two-hour practice - you become a competitor. Each time you go beyond your perceived limit, you become mentally stronger.

There is always someone better than you. Whatever it is that you do for a living, chances are, you will run into a situation in which you are not as talented as the person next to you. That's when being a competitor can make a difference in your fortunes.

Discipline helps you finish a job, and finishing is what separates excellent work from average work.

I learned so much from Sue about the Xs and Os of the game of basketball.
