 "Good coaching is about leadership and instilling respect in your players.
Dictators lead through fear--good coaches do not."
---John Wooden

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career, I've lost more than 300 games, and 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. Throughout my life and career I've failed, and failed, and failed again.
And, that's why I succeed." 
---- Michael Jordan
