The best way to forget ones self is to look at the world with attention and love.
When players are used to winning, they put out a little more. Basketball 3rd winningest coach (regular season and playoffs) in NBA history; won 1,037 times in 20 years.
If you're keeping score, win!
You handle animals. You deal with people.
Winners train, losers complain. Give me twelve players that want to win and they will find a way to win.
I don't believe in statistics. There are too many factors that can't be measured. You can't measure a ballplayer's heart.
