Once a player joins our team, our priority is to teach him, not worry about the player we didn't select.

Change isn't always bad; we should always be learning and improving. But the change I was seeing involved principles, not procedures.

But there's no substitute for a full-time dad. Dads who are fully engaged with their kids overwhelmingly tend to produce children who believe in themselves and live full lives.

Chuck Noll knew how he could help people. He was a teacher. He was a guy that was very good at selecting people, getting them to fit in. He wasn't the guy that was going to sit there and motivate you, intrinsically. That wasn't what he was best at. So he hired people that were good at that.

I realized that I needed to be more like the shepherd than the hired hand in protecting my team.
