Administrators are like pigs; don't wrestle with a pig because you both get dirty and the pig likes it.
It's important, according to me, to train in small doses so as to not lose the joy of playing chess. I personally think too many coaching and training classes may take away a child's interest in the game itself. The essential thing to do is practise often and, in case of a doubt, to consult a trainer.
Make sure that team members know they are working with you, not for you.
You might reduce Lombardi's coaching philosophy to a single sentence: In any game, you do the things you do best and you do them over and over and over.
If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win.
The one man team is a complete and total myth.

If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.
If a man is a quitter, I'd rather find out in practice than in a game. I ask for all a player has so I'll know later what I can expect.
The idea of molding men means a lot to me.
You must learn how to hold a team together. You must lift some men up, calm others down, until finally they've got one heartbeat. Then you've got yourself a team.
Get the winners into the game.
Set goals - high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.
The old lessons (work, self-discipline, sacrifice, teamwork, fighting to achieve) aren't being taught by many people other than football coaches these days. The football coach has a captive audience and can teach these lessons because the communication lines between himself and his players are more wide open than between kids and parents. We better teach these lessons or else the country's future population will be made up of a majority of crooks, drug addicts, or people on relief.
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
I'll never give up on a player regardless of his ability as long as he never gives up on himself. In time he will develop.

It is those who are successful, in other words, who are most likely to be given the kinds of special opportunities that lead to further success. It’s the rich who get the biggest tax breaks. It’s the best students who get the best teaching and most attention. And it’s the biggest nine- and ten-year-olds who get the most coaching and practice. Success is the result of what sociologists like to call “accumulative advantage.
A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want.
