I won 1,098 games, and eight national championships, and coached in four different decades. But what I see are not the numbers. I see their faces.

I want to keep coaching as long as I can. I love teaching and working with student athletes and I love being at the University of Tennessee.

Anyone can quit, but it takes a strong, committed person not to quit when times are tough.

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.

The ultimate goal of discipline is to teach self discipline.

I don't give out compliments easily.

Setting up a system that rewards you for meeting your goals and has penalties for failing to hit your target is just as important as putting your goals down on paper.
