“It’s my experience that people rise to the level of their own expectations and of the competition they seek out.”

I think I can help others just by my example.

I think the most important thing I thought is, I thought about recruiting and what we need in recruiting.

God doesn’t take things away to be cruel. He takes things away to make room for other things. He takes things away to lighten us. He takes things away so we can fly.

I have a love-hate relationship with losing. I hate how it makes me feel, which is basically sick. But I love what it brings out.

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?’

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

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.

Take care how you listen to the voice of the flatterer, who, in return for his little stock, expects to derive from you considerable advantage. If one day you do not comply with his wishes, be imputes to you two hundred defects instead of perfections.

I set very bold goals. It’s how I’ve always been. I’m definitely somebody who swings for the fences, and I expect very high performance.

Expectation is the source of all the worries – Bestow without aiming to receive anything in return.

Today begins a new saga in my life which I expect to strengthen me and allow me time for reflection. I plan to write music while in prison, read and pray regularly and will come out a stronger, more confident woman.

There is a difference between him who claspeth his mistress in his arms, and him whose eyes are fixed on the door expecting her.

I was trying to manage school and training for the Olympics and ended up not doing well at either. That was a big lesson in my life. My mother expected both.

If you expect respect from others, show it first to yourself. You can’t expect from others what you don’t give to yourself.

The expectation of happiness can induce quite the opposite.
