Success is determined by your daily choices and habits

When you have a problem, if you tell the truth, the problem becomes part of your past. If you lie, it becomes part of your future.

Failure is good. It's fertilizer. Everything I've learned about coaching I've learned from making mistakes.

True motivation is not getting people to play to their potential. It's getting people to play beyond their potential

When you describe passion at any age, passion is derived from everything, from the people you work with to enjoying the last four years.

At Boston University, I motivated negatively, and I found that although it can work at first, by the end of the year everyone is dying for the year to end and you have lost them. The last two years at BU, I motivated positively and got much better results.

Tackle the difficult things first in the morning; make changes in the way you network. Treat everyone with respect and dignity. This stops you from cynicism and negativity. End your day with that same attitude you started. Renew your contract with a day well completed.
