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.

Don't whine. Find the positive in difficult situations.

Coaching soccer, like disciplines including journalism, you'll always learn if you're open to it, you'll learn from your players. If that's being smart, fair enough.

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

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

Talent is not enough. It's an important component in a successful performance, but it's really only a starting point.

Have a vision and then create your own reality. Otherwise, someone else may create it for you.
