The bigger your head, the easier to fill your shoes.

The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.

Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever I'm doing.

Always keep an open mind and a compassionate heart.

I know what it takes to be a coach. I've gone through that. I think I came up short my last season. Lots of things were happening physically to me, and emotionally, perhaps mentally, too. I thought it was time to tend to more important things, like health and like family. I still enjoy that, and I don't think I have any need to go back to coach.

There's a term, agape, you hear used a lot with charismatic religious groups, that it's this more pure love of caring, of sharing of concern and understanding. I think players and teams have to come to that at some point in the season to become successful. Maybe not "personal friends," but they become teammates at the highest level of that term.

Remember, Team, surrender the me for the we.
