When I was young, I didn't like to read. I would have much rather been outside doing something than been inside reading about it.

I can't very well preach unity and tell the guys we're all in this together and everyone's important, then cut a guy because we might improve by one percent if we bring in someone else.

Once we had become locked in on a schedule, he (Coach Denny Green) often created a disruption (artificial adversity) to that schedule just to see how guys would respond.

The first step toward creating an improved future is developing the ability to envision it.

There are weaknesses that you have to understand and it takes a lot of discipline for the players to be able to play it effectively and have confidence in what they're doing.

Winning would create greater potential for change than talk alone.

If you're a leader, people's lives should be better because of the influence you've had along the way.
