My ambition in high school was to be a high school coach and teacher, and that's still what I do: teach.

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.

My hunger is not for success, it is for excellence. Because when you attain excellence, success just naturally follows.

The thing I loved the most - and still love the most about teaching - is that you can connect with an individual or a group, and see that individual or group exceed their limits.

I'm looking for players who make their teammates better. You do that with enthusiasm and passion.

Effective teamwork begins and ends with communication

Success is not for the weak and uncommitted... Sometimes it's gonna hurt!

Of one thing there is no doubt: if Paris makes demands of the heart, then Munich makes demands of the stomach.

All da ladies love Leo!!

Leadership is about pointing in the direction, articulating a vision of the world that does not yet exist. Then asking help from others to insure that vision happens.

The reason fat men are good natured is they can neither fight nor run.
