Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.

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

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

I'm a great believer in the character of the club. To me, character has a lot to do with how you compete. That creates urgency and toughness. That elevates the talent that you have.

It's a really neat and special coincidence, but it's nothing but a coincidence. This wasn't set up to give Matt that honor. It's just the way it worked out. It's a neat extra.

It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.
