If I were a young coach today, I would be extremely careful in selecting assistants.

Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books – especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Young people need models, not critics.

A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.

Sometimes you have to be careful when selecting a new name for yourself. For instance, let's say you have chosen the nickname "Fly Head." Normally you would think that "fly Head" would mean a person who has beautiful swept-back features, as if flying through the air. But think again. Couldn't it also mean "having a head like a fly"? I'm afraid some people might actually think that.
