The only competition that matters is the one that takes place within yourself.

The thing that always strikes me is how much power one person has. Everybody has so much power to help and to change if they just exercise it and get after it.

I learned a tremendous amount about what was important to me as a head coach in that I was not in charge. I didn't have final say about what was going on, and I was always having to represent other people's views, and it was very difficult to be real, to be authentic, to be true because there were a number of people who had say about what was going on.

Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen.

Every year, something happens, and it turns me in a direction about where I need to go and what I need to do to give these guys direction.

I am an example of a person who got zeroed into a philosophy early.

Stay hungry, remain humble and get better today.
