The key to coaching is not what you do, but the way you do it. The intangibles, the motivational parts of the game are the most important facets of it.

Working hard is not always fun - that's why it is called work.

Never let anyone out work you or out hustle you. Ever.

The basic premise of my system is to fatigue your opponents with constant pressure defensively and constant movement offensively.

Set higher standards for you own performance than anyone around you, and it won't matter whether you have a tough boss or an easy one. It won't matter whether the competition is pushing you hard, because you'll be competing with yourself.

I'm at the stage of my career when it's not only about winning and developing players, it's about having fun. That's a void in your life right now, but it's something you're going to have here.

The bone's 6 inches out of his leg and all he's yelling is, 'Win the game, win the game.' I've not seen that in my life. Pretty special young man. I don't think we could have gathered ourselves - I know I couldn't have - if Kevin didn't say over and over again, 'Just go win the game,' I don't think we could have gone in the locker room with a loss after seeing that. We had to gather ourselves. We couldn't lose this game for him. We just couldn't.
