The man of genius is he and he alone who finds such joy in his art that he will work at it come hell or high water.
One thing I never want to be accused of is not working.
The mind is absolutely instrumental in achieving results, even for athletes. Sports psychology is a very small part, but it's extremely important when you're winning and losing races by hundredths and even thousandths of a second.
If you can achieve winning a league championship, that, to me, is the full test of the team and management because it is over the full season and you have a lot of problems you have to overcome.
Even when there are adverse circumstances, I try to do my job. And I usually do.
I went through so many things personally, emotionally and mentally during that time off that I know that I'm better for it now and I think I'm a better athlete because of that.
The coaching profession doesn't hand you any gifts.
Just because you've had one or two of those games, you can't really go back to the next practice and change everything. That's the most important thing in those situations that you don't think too much, you don't try to change too much because then you're going to be in deep trouble, that's what I think. It's all about keep working on what's been successful for you and keep believing what you're doing is the right thing.
Every season has its peaks and valleys. What you have to try to do is eliminate the Grand Canyon.
Refined indifference is a sports psychology precept: train like there's no tomorrow and then accept whatever happens. Once you step on the field realize that whatever is meant to be is meant to be.
Winning is a great deodorant.
Always have a plan and believe in it. I tell my coaches not to compromise. Nothing good happens by accident.
I've kind of got an out in cancer. It keeps things in perspective for me.
It's always something that's going to be a part of me. It's the reason why I work so hard each and every day. It's the reason I come to work dedicated to become the best that I can be. Nothing's going to come easy in life, and I've learned a lot of lessons, some the hard way, and I think just the things that I've been through have helped mold me into the person I am and what (is in) my future and that's continuing to do things the right way.
Sometimes to go forward you've got to go to the depths of your own personal despair and claw yourself back. From that point, no matter what happens, you know you can do it.
There were mornings when I just didn't want to get out of bed. But once again, I'm in an adverse situation and having to deal with something new and learn how to do it.
Even championship-winning teams don't play well all the time.
How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.
No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back.
I've had moments where I didn't hit the ball very good coming in, and you've got to turn it around. That's the whole idea of practicing and really working on being focused on what I'm doing and being committed to what I'm doing. I know what the fix is and I've proven it to myself, and it's just a matter of going out there and executing it consistently over 72 holes.
If you dedicate yourself to something, you can achieve it. It's simple, but it's true, and your age is just an excuse.
The mark of a great player is in his ability to come back. The great champions have all come back from defeat.
Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.
