To some, challenges are exhausting. To others, they are opportunities in waiting.

I put myself around good people, including my assistant coaches. A lot of head coaches are intimidated by their assistant coaches, they'd rather get people that are far less talented than them because it's not threatening.

When you set a goal, write it down and then it's like making a promise to yourself.

Overseas, kids grow up in a soccer culture. The German player sees the game eons above the American player the same age.

Chemistry is a contribution that teammates make to each other, but it's also something a coach can create or facilitate.

If you put good people around you, I guess you're smart. You learn from them and that makes you a better coach.

The smartest thing is knowing that I don't know it all and that there's more to learn.
