I've worked with acting coaches, I've been going out on auditions and meeting with casting directors. But I'm not known as an actress.
The athlete makes himself, the coach doesn't make the athlete.
I saw greatness in John and he lived up to it. I also saw a tremendous competitor who loved to win. John is a standard bearer, someone that players, coaches, fans and the Raider Nation can all look up to. One of his great virtues, the fire that burned brightest in him, was his love and passion for football, which was seldom ever equaled.
I would like to thank my coach for believing in me
Coaches who have been players in the league, they get so attuned to playing how they were successful, and who their coaches were.
Something has to happen that you can't coach.
I played for the best coach who ever lived, Henry Iba. I wasn't intimidated by Adolph Rupp.
Some coaches pray for wisdom. I pray for 260-pound tackles. They'll give me plenty of wisdom.
There's two kinds of coaches, them that's fired and them that's gonna be fired.
The coaches today should realize that they are, after all, working with children who sometimes have to stand up to physical and moral stresses which not even all grown-ups could bear.
Most coaches study the films when they lose. I study them when we win -to see if I can figure out what I did right
I would think I drive most hitting coaches crazy. During one single at-bat I used six different stances on six pitches. Oh yeah, I also struck out. So what do I know?
He just rubs people up the wrong way in a short space of time and, after he'd gone, one of the South African coaches there said to me in a thick Bok accent 'You see, Richard, what we have to put up with?'
But people don't know if I can teach the game. I know I can. My experience in Oklahoma was positive. It opened my eyes to how the game is played - the interaction among players, fans and media, how all that works. You have to know about the business of the game and how the actions of players and coaches affect the business. I think I have it down now.
I would like to accept this recognition on behalf of all the staff members that that I’ve been associated with; all of the office people behind the scenes who never get credit and make this game so great along with the great coaches and players.
When I looked at the third base coach, he turned his back on me.
They wanted me as coach.
One of the things I noticed more in this draft than in any recent drafts was the importance of the character issue. Players who had baggage, like Justice, fell much farther than his talent dictated. But a lot of coaches didn't want to take the chance.
I had a vocal coach. It's a sad thing, but I had to hire someone so that I could get my Australian accent back.
Coaches want so many things from a back. It's hard to find someone like Edgerrin James or Marshall Faulk, someone you can trust to block, catch and be physical. But I can do all those things.
