There are some concrete ways to create a winning attitude. But nothing beats practicing it. When you prepare to win, belief comes easily.

Discipline yourself, so no one else has to.

Attitude is a choice. Think positive thoughts daily. Believe in yourself.

Here's how I'm going to beat you. I'm going to outwork you. That's it. That's all there is to it.

I've always put great emphasis on the academics and getting your degree. It's important because basketball is short term. The long term is what are you gonna do after college and after you no longer can bounce the ball.

A lot of kids just want to go play basketball, but they don't know to play and they don't have the skills to play. I think just the skill development right off and then play all you can, but don't sacrifice your skill development by just playing and not working on the specifics of the game.

Teamwork doesn't come naturally. It must be taught.
