Communication does not always occur naturally, even among a tight-knit group of individuals. Communication must be taught and practiced in order to bring everyone together as one

A leader is someone who puts their people in position to be successful all the time

Champions play as they practice. Create a consistency of excellence in all your habits.

A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand. If you can get them all together, you have a fist. That's how I want you to play.

You don't just be a team. You become a team. Through tough games you find that you need each other

Imagination has a great deal to do with winning.

If you win a National Championship, or you win two, people think you have not only seen the Holy Grail, but you've embraced it. Basically, I do what a lot of people do, but I've been able to win.

Some people do want to stand on the rooftop and scream out their story. Others are cowering in the corner, or sitting with a blank face in class, and not knowing how to tell their story.

People do want to know the personal things. How far is too far to go with personal lives?

I think it's not just Republicans who would like to see the Senate run differently. I think there are a reasonable number of Democrats as well.

Even the wildest dreams have to start somewhere. Allow yourself the time and space to let your mind wander and your imagination fly.
