I mean for the guys who kind of tuned me out before, now I had everybody listening and we talked about it, which, I think, is my responsibility as a coach. You know these guys are my family, and it would be like talking to your own kids, you don't want bad things to happen to them so let's try to help them a little bit.

E. B. White

Kids have a tendency to rest on what they do well and it's human nature to continue to work on the things that you do well.

He's highly competitive and he knows what he'll have to do to compete.
