Sports Quotes: FOR COACHES

When the athlete is ready the coach appears

Make sure that team members know they are working with you, not for you.

What makes a good coach? Complete dedication.

My responsibility is leadership, and the minute I get negative, that is going to have an influence on my team.

Either love your players or get out of coaching.
