In all my years one thing has never changed; You win with serious, tough-minded players. That never changes

You have to have a mentality. This is a business. This ain't hanging out having a good time

The guys who take shortcuts, who aren't ready, they fail when their opportunity comes

There are no short cuts. If you want to do something special, there's a serious price to pay. There's no way around it.

Practice is important. The regular season is important. Your meetings are important. Your walk-through is important. Everything is important. You want to be a championship team, there's a price to pay. And that's what you have to do. There's no shortcuts. You can't shortcut your way to success.

You're a sum of all your experiences.

The challenge is not to get caught up in the hoopla. To understand what goes into winning - stay focused, you've got to be prepared, you need an edge. If you get lost in all the other stuff you're not going to be prepared to play well.
