Rebounding wins championships, you need to emphasize it and work with kids on it.
Our emphasis is on execution, not winning.
We do not win championships with girls. We win with competitors
You spend more of the game preparing to win in the final seconds. And that is what separates winners from losers.
Make Winning an Attitude.
There are some concrete ways to create a winning attitude. But nothing beats practicing it. When you prepare to win, belief comes easily.
Sometimes you learn more from losing than winning. Losing forces you to reexamine.
My parents taught me a long time ago that you win in life with people, and that's important, because if you hang with winners, you stand a great chance of being a winner.

I've talked to her about our team. (I talked to her) when I wasn't really happy with them and she's talked to me about her team and we probably figured we'd see each other in the end.
I've watched her build this team and this program over the last three years and I think she's done a remarkable job. She had her team ready.
