A champion is simply someone who did not give up when he wanted to.

I'd rather have a second-best decision diligently pursued than a first-best decision lackadaisically pursued.

In my opinion, character is the most important determinant of a person's success, achievement and ability to handle adversity.

Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do but to achieve what they want to achieve.

Perhaps the toughest call for a coach is weighing what is best for an individual against what is best for the team. Keeping a player on the roster just because I liked him personally, or even because of his great contributions to the team in the past, when I felt some one else could do more for the team would be a disservice to the team's goals.

The secret to winning is constant, consistent management.

Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control.
