109 Quotes by Tom Thibodeau

You learn from everybody. You learn from the players. You learn from great coaches. You learn from great teams.

Every player is different. And you want them to play to their strengths, and cover up their weaknesses.

The physical toughness is the obvious - the ability to push through things no matter what's coming at you, to keep going, to not give in. Never surrender. Usually the victory goes to the guy who can play through it the longest. Of course, the mental part is equally important.

I think you learn from every experience, and you have to continue to adapt.

Sometimes you think you know someone as a player, but then you spend six weeks together, and you really get to know them as people.

You can't shortcut your way to success.

You know I'm never happy. I'm not happy, unless I'm miserable.

There's no shortcuts to winning. You have to be willing to pay the price and be willing to sacrifice.

You have to believe - to me, the only way a team can improve is you have to be sharp.
