sports player venture
Too many players are so afraid to do anything that they seldom venture to do anything.
sports athlete player
Never underestimate your players; they can do it with enough game-like practice. Coaches must put more emphasis in practice and in life on making student-athletes aware of what they could or can do, rather than what they couldn't or presently can't do. The focus must be on solutions, not problems; what is wanted, not what is feared.
sports player kind
You can be harsh on your players and still coach, but it is easier when you are kind to them.
sports player games
The kind of player who has turned his game around, he used to be lousy and lazy and now he is lazy and lousy.
sports art player
I am here to give my players the little push they need, just like they needed long ago, when first learning the art of the swing. All you needed then was a little push, and quickly you were pumping away, flying higher and higher, without any more help from the 'coach.'
wise sports player
The wise coach takes all the heat when his players lose, and gives them all the credit when they win.
leadership sports player
Players need you to care, especially when they do not deserve it.
sports player lasts
Nothing makes a player more productive than the last minute.
sports athlete player
You must allow your players to become the athletes they can be. Don't make them into anything just to become the kind of winners fans, friends and others think they must be.
sports volleyball player
Good players win volleyball games for you, not tall players.
sports player practice
Coaching is something that takes place only when learning does. No matter what you are doing in your practices, if your players are not learning something significant, you're really not coaching. If a player fails in a game, the coach may have failed in practice.

One of the influences of Kafka over later writers is not so much in the content of his work as in its form.
encounter interested large since stood
Since my first encounter with Kafka's writing, I've been interested in a quality that, while he was alive, stood in the way of his achieving a large reputation: his allegory.
climax means plot proceeds series
The conventional Aristotelian plot proceeds by means of a protagonist, an antagonist, and a series of events comprising a rising action, climax and denouement.
