I talk to our players about life and situations and doing the right thing all the time.

We talked about some of our experiences, focusing, hanging together down the stretch, important games. It's not necessarily who has the most talent but what team sticks together and executes their fundamentals the best.

We have a whole generation of men who don't understand how much they mean to their kids.

It's just really making sure I am doing the best job I can do as a dad. I do think that is my No. 1 job.

When I was younger I only read sports books. I loved the biographies that told how athletes developed. When I got into coaching, I did start to read more instructional books, but I was always more interested in the people behind the ideas.

It's the journey that matters. Learning is more important than the test. Practice well, and the games will take care of themselves.

If someone needs help, I can offer advice. I'm not always right and people don't always listen.
