The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group. If he does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the consent he must win and the control he must exert.

The coaches who win are the ones who can motivate their players. Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.

Regardless of what you do put in, every game boils down to doing the things you do best and doing them over and over again.

No one is ever hurt. Hurt is in the mind.

The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.

In order to succeed, this group will need a singleness of purpose, they will need a dedication, and they will have to convince all of their prospects of the willingness to sacrifice.

If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?
