Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players... they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure.

You hear all the time about European players playing the game. These players that come over at 17, 18 and 19, they just don't all of a sudden become skilled. From the time they were little fellas, they learned the fundamentals of the game. Let them create.

We were going to have to experiment, and we needed to develop our younger players. And a lot of the changes were because of injuries. But that's where I give a lot of credit to the group in terms of being able to maintain things.

One is my club, I want to develop those players, and I want to be in the beginning at least, until I have everything ready, I want to spend as much time to develop those kids as possible.

Most of the people we sign on as development agents commit to goals they don't believe are possible.

I'm at the stage of my career when it's not only about winning and developing players, it's about having fun. That's a void in your life right now, but it's something you're going to have here.

The best thing we can do is develop our own.

Developing better people should be the number one goal for any coach when dealing with kids. In trying to develop better people, we are going to develop more and better pros.

I've been around enough to know what it takes to get a team to reach its potential, and I want players who want to reach their potential.

A battle is developing between them' I say developing, because it's not yet on.
