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

It’s harder to stay on top than it is to make the climb, Continue to seek new goals.

There are some concrete ways to create a winning attitude. But nothing beats practicing it. When you prepare to win, belief comes easily.

Belief in yourself is what happens when you know you’ve done the thing things that entitle you to success.

Discipline yourself, so no one else has to.

In the absence of feedback, people will fill in the blanks with a negative. They will assume you don’t care about them or don’t like them.

Group discipline produces a unified effort toward a common goal.

Individual success is a myth. No one succeeds all by herself.

Offense sells tickets, defense wins games, rebounding wins championships.

In order to grow, you must accept new responsibilities, no matter how uncertain you may feel or how unprepared you are to deal with them.

Success lulls you. It makes the most ambitious of us complacent and sloppy. In a way, you have to cultivate a kind of amnesia and forget all of your previous prosperity.

I want to keep coaching as long as I can. I love teaching and working with student athletes and I love being at the University of Tennessee.

Hard work breeds self-respect.

Nine-tenths of discipline is having the patience to do things right.

You have to make shots. That’s the bottom line.

Attitude is a choice. Think positive thoughts daily. Believe in yourself.

If you don’t want responsibility, don’t sit in the big chair. To be successful, you must accept full responsibility

We need extra love on our bad days.

Can you treat yourself with softness when things are hard?

Your worries are valid, let your hope be too.

While all of this bad is happening, Know that a lot of good is quietly heading for you.

The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it.

You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

Pain is only bearable if we know it will end, not if we deny it exists.

There are no events but thoughts and the heart’s hard turning, the heart’s slow learning where to love and whom. The rest is merely gossip, and tales for other times.
