I'm ready to do something different.

Toughest thing for me as a young manager is that a lot of my players saw me play. They know how bad I was.

Being involved in competition is a privilege and an opportunity. Seek to make the most of that opportunity by pushing yourself to the limit of your abilities. When it is over, you will have earned the respect of your opponents, your coaches, and yourself.

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

The best way to win is to play well early or late in the game. The middle part tends to take care of itself.
