Mike Krzyzewski Quotes

Making shots counts, but not as much as the people who make them Picture Quote #1

It is the ultimate honor for a coach to be his country’s coach Picture Quote #1

I always won in my imagination. I always hit the game-winning shot, or I hit the free throw. Or if I missed, there was a lane violation, and I was given another one Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My mom gave me unconditional support and unfailing love. You can’t get any better than that. That’s why I’ve never been afraid to lose Picture Quote #1

With accomplishments comes confidence and with confidence comes belief. It has to be in that order Picture Quote #1

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed Picture Quote #1

I’m fortunate now that I coach at Duke University and we’ve won a lot. I have some kids who haven’t failed that much. But when they get to college, they’re going to fail some time. That’s a thing that I can help them the most with Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My parents didn’t really understand too much about sport. At that time, we were in a Polish community in the inner city of Chicago, and I was the youngest of a bunch of cousins. Polish families are real big, with cousins and aunts and uncles Picture Quote #1

Once you win a National Championship, how do you do that again? How do you get the passion to do that again? We won it again right away, the next year. A lot of it had to do with the fact that I didn’t give myself an opportunity to enjoy the first one Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up, there weren’t any Little Leagues in the city. Parents worked all the time. They didn’t have time to take their kids out to play baseball and football Picture Quote #1

When I went to high school, an all-boys’ school, a Catholic school, I tried out for football, and I didn’t make it. It was the first time, athletically, that I was knocked down Picture Quote #1

I try to see each new season as a new challenge because I have a new team to work with, new opponents to encounter, and often new ideas and theories to try Picture Quote #1

Therefore, as a player, as a coach, even though we might have lost in a season or not won a championship, it was like a self-fulfilling prophecy that I’m going to win some time. I’ve never felt myself a loser Picture Quote #1

The truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions. Not me. I don’t want to be a manager or a dictator. I want to be a leader-and leadership is ongoing, adjustable, flexible, and dynamic. As such, leaders have to maintain a certain amount of discretion Picture Quote #1

There are five fundamental qualities that make every team great: communication, trust, collective responsibility, caring and pride. I like to think of each as a separate finger on the fist. Any one individually is important. But all of them together are unbeatable Picture Quote #1

Effort is fully replenishable. There is no need to save any of it. Leave every bit you have on the playing field Picture Quote #1

If the only reason I coached was to win basketball games, my life would be pretty shallow Picture Quote #1

One of the worst things anybody can do is assume. I think fools assume. If people have really got it together, they never assume anything. They believe, they work hard, and they prepare- but they don’t assume Picture Quote #1

In all forms of leadership, whether you are a coach, a CEO, or a parent, there are four words that, when said, can bring out the best in your team, your employees, and your family. I BELIEVE IN YOU. Those four words can mean the difference between a fear of failure and the courage to try Picture Quote #1

I didn’t miss any games, but Coach Knight came out and spent three days with my family in Chicago when my dad passed away. I came back and played and it was good therapy for me. Having a basketball family and a coach who understood and actually became like a father figure for that time was comforting to me, and I’m sure that will be comforting to Coleman Picture Quote #1

I was very pleased with the entire selection process. The manner in which it was conducted included all parts of United States’ basketball, from the professional level to the colleges and high schools. Everyone was considered Picture Quote #1

I believe work is good. There is dignity in work. I also believe that a hard-work ethic forges strong leaders Picture Quote #1

My mom gave me unconditional support and unfailing love. You can’t get any better than that. That’s why I’ve never been afraid to lose Picture Quote #1

I’m still not a great reader, but my wife is and my daughters are, and I envy them. I think I got into a bad habit of trying to do something all the time, instead of trying to sit down and take my time a little bit Picture Quote #1

I’m looking for players who make their teammates better. You do that with enthusiasm and passion Picture Quote #1

If what you have done yesterday still looks big to you. You haven’t done much today Picture Quote #1

That’s what I do now: I lead and I teach. If we win basketball games from doing that, then that’s great, but I lead and teach. Those are the two things I concentrate on Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
