All the basketball players in the city, the NBA guys, the coaches, everybody told me to go see Herb. He's shaped the games of so many players.

The shootout is a very horrible way to decide the game - immense pressure and stress measures the mettle of the players and coaches and fans. We, however, have tested very solid in just about any category you wish to use. Derek made a tremendous save.

It finally seems to have dawned on some of the England players that, if they are to beat the likes of Brazil, Germany, Argentina and Italy in a World cup, they need an iron manager to forge them into a team, not a nice guy to massage their inflated egos. The gooey love affair between coaches and players is coming to its inevitable end. Does Eriksson have answers? There are times when you have to wonder if this vague, distant albeit charming figure is really all that interested in finding them.

We who have lived before railways were made belong to another world. It was only yesterday, but what a gulf between now and then! Then was the old world. Stage-coaches, more or less swift, riding-horses, pack-horses, highwaymen, knights in armor, Norman invaders, Roman legions, Druids, Ancient Britons painted blue, and so forth -- all these belong to the old period. But your railroad starts the new era, and we of a certain age belong to the new time and the old one. We who lived before railways, and survive out of the ancient world, are like Father Noah and his family out of the Ark.

My situation is a solemn one. Life is offered to me on condition of eating beefsteaks. But death is better than cannibalism. My will contains directions for my funeral, which will be followed not by mourning coaches, but by oxen, sheep, flocks of poultry, and a small traveling aquarium of live fish, all wearing white scarves in honor of the man who perished rather than eat his fellow creatures.

There is no accountability in the public school system - except for coaches. You know what happens to a losing coach. You fire him. A losing teacher can go on losing for 30 years and then go to glory.

For cycling and the community, it's a big step. This would be a great way to bring kids into the sport and have them around coaches that are constantly observing them. I hope it happens.
|
Everyone wants to get started and get moving forward for the next year. The more time it takes, the more they feel like they're getting behind. Particularly when other teams make choices by hiring coaches and they don't want to be the last guy standing.
|
It's a little bit of a new experience for us as coaches, because we haven't had this same group, minus the freshmen, since last camp [last fall].
|
[They started training in September and received advice from doctors, chefs and coaches. A few weeks ago, they ran 20 miles through Harlem and the Bronx with former marathon star Alberto Salazar.] People were screaming, 'Puffy keep going!' ... It was such a motivating environment.
|
My field event coaches really do a great job getting those girls ready. My coaches work really hard on their individual events and it's them that really put it together for us.
|
Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.
|
It's a market economy. Apparently the demand for great coaches exceeds the supply, so of course the price of good coaches is going to be high.
|
The real persuaders are our appetites, our fears and above all our vanity. The skillful propagandist stirs and coaches these internal persuaders.
|
The boss drives people; the leader coaches them. The boss depends on authority; the leader on good will. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm. The boss says I; The leader says WE. The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss says, GO; the leader says lets, GO!

Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.

When the coaches receives from you such treatment, how much worse treatment you deserve for not fulfilling your duty and for disappointing the expectations that you have raised by your being a man?
|
Our coaches had a hell of a game plan. They dissected them like no other. We were prepared. All we had to do was go out and execute.
|
'I would think I drive most hitting coaches crazy. During one single at-bat I used six different stances on six pitches. Oh yeah, I also struck out. So what do I know?'
|
All my coaches tell me that I have been under achieving.
|
This is a group of impeccable character. It's taken me a few years to form the group that I wanted, but I think I've done that now. These guys eventually want to become head coaches, and that's what I want.
|
My coaches always told me to follow my own shot, and that's what I did. I shot a prayer, and it went in. This is the Garden, and it was my first time here. It feels great. I'm a little overwhelmed right now.
|
That kind of commitment is so powerful when it comes from the players, not just from coaches.
|
Coaches have to watch for what they don't want to see and listen to what they don't want to hear.
|
There are only two kinds of coaches -- those who have been fired, and those who will be fired.
|
I have a lot of respect for tough coaches.
