Gordie Gillespie Quotes

Love the player for who they are, not for what they can do for you. Kids see through the coach whose only concern is for himself.

Great coaches are great humanitarians. They really care for the athlete as people first and athletes second. This is paramount in gaining respect.

Teach positively, never abuse kids in the teaching process. I believe it is cowardly to teach in a negative way, to insult players, or challenge their manhood.
