• I dont mind people making mistakes. You can
  always make up for them. I would hate to think
  Ive got players with talent who dont use it for
  fear of making mistakes.

• You have to see yourself as part of a larger
  unit. The only difference between myself and my
  players is that I have certain responsibilities
  specific to my role as coach.

• While cutting people is a hard thing to do,
  youre letting down the team if you dont let
  them go.
• Really, my whole coaching style is telling the
  truth be it good or bad.

  honest

• Personality is most important. You can have the
  best athlete in the world, but if the mind isnt
  directed its a waste of everyones time.
• We look at people who accept challenges and who
  are prepared to strive beyond their current
  horizons

• Some people respond to subtle forms of
  encouragement and others to more aggressive
  forms. It is important to recognise that every
  person is different.
• If you want the right results, you must spend
  some time developing the most effective way to
  encourage the best from everyone.
