“I think the only thing that I really thought about, I am always every year thinking about how I can get better, how my stuff can get better, how our team can improve.”

Winners are not born, they are self-made.

No one feels strong when she examines her own weakness. But in facing weakness, you learn how much there is in you, and you find real strength.

She taught me that it’s ok to let down your guard and allow your players to get to know you. They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

You can’t have any quit in you if you want to be successful.

Know your strengths, weaknesses, and needs.

See yourself as self employed.

If you want to be in the game you better shoot 75% from the line.

Teamwork does not come naturally. Let’s face it. We are born with certain inclinations, but sharing isn’t one of them.

There is an old saying: a champion is someone who is willing to be uncomfortable.

I didn’t say a lot. I didn’t throw anything. That’s not my style. I did think about it though.

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.

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,’

Every time you make a mistake, don’t bring up everything that’s wrong with yourself; tell yourself that you’re paying the price for growth and that you will learn to do better next time. Every positive thing you can say to yourself will help.

The more you do, the more you fail. The more you fail, the more you learn. The more you learn, the better you get.

Gratitude to all the coaches, teachers and mentors of the game who helped me understand this game better.

If I can create something that allows a woman to feel better – that is the true reward.

Failing forward is the ability to get back up after you’ve been knocked down, learn from your mistake, and move forward in a better direction.

But I guess it’s better for people to shut up rather than rather than say something nasty.

Sometimes it’s better to put love into hugs than to put it into words. Soul meets soul on lovers’ lips.
