Why can't we have patience and expect good things to take time?

I constantly caution our teams: 'Play your game, just play your game. Eventually, if you play your game, stick to your style, class will tell in the end.' This does not mean that we will always outscore our opponent, but it does insure that we will not beat ourselves.

One of my constant reminders is, 'End practice on a happy note.' I want the boys to want to come out to practice; and I want them to get a certain amount of pleasure. ..lt's a game. It should be fun. So I always try to counterbalance my criticism in practice with a bit of praise. I want my players to feel that the worst punishment I can give them is to deny them the privilege of practicing. If they do not want to practice, I do not want them there.

Hustle makes up for many a mistake.

It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

An effective leader develops the ability to correctly identify the pertinent detail or details - incidentals in a market, industry or sport that might create an incremental advantage.

When everyone has good players, teaching will be a telling difference.

You've never heard of them- and you never will .

Whether you know it or not, whether you like it or not, the habits you are developing now will be with you for the rest of your life.
