To be successful in coaching you have to treat your team like a family. The leader needs backing from everyone.

To have long term success as a coach or in any position of leadership, you have to be obsessed in some way.

My coach is pushing me harder than ever to make sure I stay at a good level.

I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing.

I think every time you coach a certain team, when you leave that franchise, I think you continue to grow. You take a look at the things that you did, the things you wish you had done better. You analyze your strengths and your weaknesses, and then when you move to your next job, you continue to do the same thing.

One of the most important things about leadership is that you have to have the kind of humility that will allow you to be coached.

You notice it with any organization that's had a lot of success: you will start to reach thinking, 'That's the player, that's the method, that's the mechanism, that's the coach, that's the thing that's going to put us over the top.'

Really, coaching is simplicity. It's getting players to play better than they think that they can.

I think what coaching is all about, is taking players and analyzing there ability, put them in a position where they can excel within the framework of the team winning. And I hope that I've done that in my 33 years as a head coach.
