The world needs you. It needs that special thing you've been dreaming about since you were little.
What you specifically teach is what your players will do best.
We cannot accept in victory what we would not accept in defeat.
Practice to beat the best.
I concluded some time ago that a major part of success of a team, or of an individual, has a great deal to do with the intangible qualities possessed. The real key is in how a person see himself (humility), how he feels about what he does (passion), how he works with others (unity), how he makes others better (servanthood), and how he deals with frustration and success, truly learning from each situations (thankfulness). I believe those concepts are the essence of a good player, team, coach, or individual in any capacity in life.
Most of my learning and philosophy regarding coaching basketball was developed after great frustration.
Players who are committed to the team first will find a way to help when things are going bad, they will do whatever it takes. Kids that are more into themselves will not do that. They will take care of themselves and get more individual when things are tough.
When dogs are actually looking at you, they're essentially hugging you with their eyes.
Turn the other cheek too often and you get a razor through it.
Thou makest the man, O Sorrow!--yes, the whole man,--as the crucible gold.
Gratefulness has the courage to trust and so overcomes fear.
