I can't be a hypocrite as a coach because as a player that's what I wanted. I wanted feedback I wanted communication from the boss. I showed up for work you can yell at me if you want but I want input. So that's the kind of coach I want to be.

There is certain relief in change even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach that it is often a comfort to shift one's position and be bruised in a new place.

Man coaching is a hard job and it requires a lot of time... I hear stories from coaches who tell me that players call them in the middle of the night not knowing where they parked their car.

We should tell our kids to just have fun participate and not get bent on winning or losing. But every coach when they say that they say it tongue in cheek 'Don't worry about winning': If you win I'll get you ice cream but if you lose I'm going to pout in the car.

You must do as your people do. If my people are poor I must be poor. People ask me 'Why don't you find a personal coach or a private car?' I can't. Then I won't be part of my people.

Removing the faults in a stage-coach may produce a perfect stage-coach but it is unlikely to produce the first motor car.

Coaches will eventually notice a great attitude and they respect that.

I studied voice for about two years with an amazing coach and I never rose above the level of mediocre.

I tell you it was kind of two-fold. I fortunately had a lot of support. My coach was amazing - he told me to focus on being prepared and that is what I did. Every athlete is nervous - any athlete who tells you they're not nervous isn't telling you the truth. I was as prepared as I could be.

My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad coach mentor soldier husband and friend.

The athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors scientists coaches agents and so on.

I think the sport of wrestling which I became involved with at the age of 14... I competed until I was 34 kind of old for a contact sport. I coached the sport until I was 47. I think the discipline of wrestling has given me the discipline I have to write.
