Whatever A Leader Does Now

I Believe Work Is Good. There Is Dignity In Work. I Also Believe That A Hard-work Ethic Forges Strong Leaders.

For A College Basketball Player Or Coach, To Reach The Final Four Is La-la Land. You’ve Achieved, You’ve Got Your Stamp Of Approval. My First Team To Do That Was In 1986. Then We Did It In ’88, ’89 And ’90.

I Think Some Parents Now Look At A Youngster Failing As The Final Thing. It's A Process, And Failure Is Part Of The Process. I Would Like It If The Teacher And The Parents Would Connect More. I Think That Used To Be, But We're Losing A Little Bit Of That Right Now.

I've Tried To Handle Winning Well, So That Maybe We'll Win Again, But I've Also Tried To Handle Failure Well. If Those Serve As Good Examples For Teachers And Kids, Then I Hope That Would Be A Contribution I Have Made To Sport. Not Just Basketball, But To Sport.

Only The Mediocre Are Always At Their Best. If Your Standards Are Low, It Is Easy To Meet Those Standards Every Single Day, Every Single Year. But If Your Standard Is To Be The Best, There Will Be Days When You Fall Short Of That Goal. It Is Okay To Not Win Every Game. The Only Problem Would Be If You Allow A Loss Or A Failure To Change Your Standards. Keep Your Standards Intact, Keep The Bar Set High, And Continue To Try Your Very Best Every Day To Meet Those Standards. If You Do That, You Can Always Be Proud Of The Work That You Do.
