I wanted my players to feel that the worst punishment I could give them was to deny them the privilege of practicing. If they did not want to practice, I did not want them there.

Anthony BurgessThe white-haired wonder leading what had to, by now, be a blocks-long parade must've finally turned on her hearing aid.

And as a leader of people, you have to be a great listener, you have to be a great motivator, you have to be very good at praising and looking for the best in people.
