It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
Confidence comes from being prepared.
Listen if you want to be heard
Make sure that team members know they are working with you, not for you.
Remember, results aren't the criteria for success — it's the effort made for achievement that is most important.
How hard you work at correcting your faults reveals your character.
There is nothing stronger than gentleness.
Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating...too often fathers neglect it because they get so caught up in making a living they forget to make a life.
Loyalty is very important when things get a little tough, as they often do when the challenge is great. Loyalty is a powerful force in producing one's individual best and more so in producing a team's best.
Thou didst thy best, that is success.
Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.
What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.
I think you have to be what you are. Don't try to be somebody else. You have to be yourself at all times.
You may be better than the rest, but you are not a success until you have made the effort to become the best you can be.
