Know your strengths, weaknesses, and needs.
With attitude, you can determine your own performance.
The best way to handle responsibility is to break it down into smaller parts. Take care of one small thing at a time.
The person, the student, the athlete, all are considered equal.
There is nothing wrong with having competitive instincts. They are survival instincts.
Discipline is the only sure way I know to convince people to believe in themselves
Our emphasis is on execution, not winning.
I don't give out compliments easily.
You have to make shots. That's the bottom line.
I want to go to practice. I want to be in the huddles. That's me.
Rebounding wins championships, you need to emphasize it and work with kids on it.
I learned so much from Sue about the Xs and Os of the game of basketball.
Combine practice with belief.
I think I can help others just by my example.
