“Loyalty is not unilateral. You have to give it to receive it.”

When you grow up on a dairy farm, cows don’t take a day off. So you work every day and my dad always said, ‘No one can outwork you,’

Responsibility equals accountability equals ownership. And a sense of ownership is the most powerful weapon a team or organization can have.

I won 1,098 games, and eight national championships, and coached in four different decades. But what I see are not the numbers. I see their faces.

Put the Team Before Yourself.

I want to go to practice. I want to be in the huddles. That’s me.

The best way to handle responsibility is to break it down into smaller parts. Take care of one small thing at a time.

Rebounding wins championships, you need to emphasize it and work with kids on it.

If I’m not leading by example, then I’m not doing the right thing. And I want to always do the right thing.

I hate to sound this way but, ‘Why me? Why me with dementia?’

I’ve got a great staff and great support system, and I’m going to stick my neck out and do what I always do.

Combine practice with belief.

My parents taught me a long time ago that you win in life with people, and that’s important, because if you hang with winners, you stand a great chance of being a winner.

Silence is a form of communication, too. Sometimes less is more.

You spend more of the game preparing to win in the final seconds. And that is what separates winners from losers.

The ultimate goal of discipline is to teach self discipline.

Teamwork is really a form of trust. It’s what happens when you surrender the mistaken idea that you can go it alone and realize that you won’t achieve your individual goals without the support of your colleagues.

Not getting what you want either means you don’t want it enough, or you have been dealing too long with the price you have to pay.

Newsflash: karma’s an even bigger bitch than me.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

Let’s settle our karmas with stability & dignity, understanding that even if others do wrong to us, they have a reason.

Parents are one’s companions in life but not partakers of one’s karma.

All action results from thought, so it is thoughts that matter.

Pay now, play later; play now, pay later.

Choosing to unconditionally love, I begin a new karmic account.
