A Team That Has Character Doesn't Need

I'd Rather Have A Second-best Decision Diligently Pursued Than A First-best Decision Lackadaisically Pursued.

A Vital Team Characteristic Is The Ability To Overcome Adversity. Any Team Acquires Experience And Endurance As It Learns To Fight Back. This In Turn Builds The Kind Of Character Which Seldom Crumbles At A Time Of Crisis Or Testing.

Perhaps The Toughest Call For A Coach Is Weighing What Is Best For An Individual Against What Is Best For The Team. Keeping A Player On The Roster Just Because I Liked Him Personally, Or Even Because Of His Great Contributions To The Team In The Past, When I Felt Some One Else Could Do More For The Team Would Be A Disservice To The Team's Goals.

The Secret To Winning Is Constant, Consistent Management.

First Become A Winner In Life. Then It's Easier To Become A Winner On The Field.
