And yet as a coach, I know that being fixated on winning (or more likely, not losing) is counterproductive, especially when it causes you to lose control of your emotions. What’s more, obsessing about winning is a loser’s game: The most we can hope for is to create the best possible conditions for success, then let go of the outcome. The ride is a lot more fun that way.

I'm not railing, 'This is inadequate' or 'This isn't right.' Just show me what will work.

I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing.

If we can accept whatever hand we've been dealt - no matter how unwelcome - the way to proceed eventually becomes clear.

I'm a sports-watcher. I played football and baseball, coached baseball. So I watch those things.

Basketball is sharing.

Make your work your play and your play your work.
