When I was younger my coach Liang Chow made all the decisions. I would go to the gym for practice do exactly what Chow told me to do go home come back and start all over again. If Chow told me to do 50 squat jumps I did 50 squat jumps.

I will always listen to my coaches. But first I listen to my body. If what they tell me suits my body great. If my body doesn't feel good with what they say then always my body comes first.

We worship an awesome God in the Blue States and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.

A life coach does for the rest of your life what a personal trainer does for your health and fitness.

But with the right kind of coaching and determination you can accomplish anything and the biggest accomplishment that I feel I got from the film was overcoming that fear.

Failure is good. It's fertilizer. Everything I've learned about coaching I've learned from making mistakes.

In high school in sport I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.

For me it is just the total experience - from the time I first started as an assistant coach until I wound up at the University of Texas for 20 years.

The things I was allowed to experience the people I was able to call friends teammates mentors coaches and opponents the travel all of it are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime.

I don't feel I'm qualified to be a coach outside the high school level. I think I would need to do more education to really be a good coach.

As a coach you can influence the diet of your players. You can point out what is wrong.

Everyone gets surprised because neither one of my parents play golf. Like I said in my speech my aunt and uncle really love golf and we visited them and she gave me two clubs. Like people think when they don't know who my dad is they think he's my coach.

My dad was my first coach and drove me extremely hard from a very young age.

I remember my dad who coached football would buy some of his players football shoes when they couldn't afford it.

The only other time I can recall my dad getting upset at me was when I missed a hockey practice. My parents were away so my buddy and I decided to skip it. I never told my dad about it but he found out from the coach.

My dad was a sports writer when I was younger and then he became just a general columnist. But I grew up with him literally getting into brawls with football coaches.

My dad has always been my coach. And I've spent so much time with him. So he's one of my best friends. And I can talk to him about everything.

I grew up in a small town in Illinois and my dad was a basketball coach. Thanks to him I have excellent fundamentals in both basketball and baseball.

My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and you know your travels.

You always give credit where credit is due - to high school coaches college coaches - but my dad the foundation that he built with me is where all of this came from. The speed the determination the mindset just the natural belief that you can do anything you put your mind to it all comes from my dad.

Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.

In my school people liked the gym teachers because they were the football or soccer coaches. But look if they're cool they get respect.

Oh man if in real life I was as cool and suave as Coach Taylor and had all the answers things would be easier.

People look at me and see a calm cool guy on the sidelines and I want them to know that my Christian faith affects my coaching and everything I do.
