Have a spiritual basis which guides you in life. Have a philosophy of life to live by.

Know how to win and how to lose and be able to handle adversity.

The odds are always against you no matter what your previous history is. You have to overcome the tendency to relax.

Work hard, stay focused and surround yourself with good people.

As a college coach, I felt you could make a difference in a player's life. There was an educational aspect I thought was important.

Everybody's got to do what they've got to do.

I still miss the players and I miss the game and the strategy. The first couple years were really difficult. Now I realize I'll never coach again. It's still hard to go into the stadium on a game day, because it's hard to just be a fan. But it's easier now than it was the first two or three years.
