Player Quotes

There are too many false things in the world, and I don’t want to be a part of them. If you say what you think, you’re called cocky or conceited. But if you have an objective in life, you shouldn’t be afraid to stand up and say it. In the second grade, they asked us what we wanted to be. I said I wanted to be a ball player and they laughed. In the eighth grade, they asked the same question, and I said a ball player and they laughed a little more. By the eleventh grade, no one was laughing Picture Quote #1

If you ever want to be a decent player, you have to be able to use both feet without stopping to think about it Picture Quote #1

The era of the rugged individual is giving way to the era of the team player Picture Quote #1

My mom always tells me that... Nobody is going to remember you for the great basketball player you are but they will remember you for the character you have off the court and how many lives you’re changed Picture Quote #1

Golf is the only game where the worst player gets the best of it. He obtains more out of it as regards both exercise and enjoyment, for the good player gets worried over the slightest mistake, whereas the poor player makes too many mistakes to worry about them Picture Quote #1

Golf is the only sport I know of where a player pays for every mistake. A man can muff a serve in tennis, miss a strike in baseball, or throw an incomplete pass in football and still have another chance to square himself. In golf, every swing counts against you Picture Quote #1

Bad putting is due more to the effect the green has upon the player than it has upon the action of the ball Picture Quote #1

Treat each player as your own son/daughter if you can... the parents have invested in you Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the toughest call for a coach is weighing what is best for an individual against what is best for the team. Keeping a player on the roster just because I liked him personally, or even because of his great contributions to the team in the past, when I felt some one else could do more for the team would be a disservice to the team’s goals Picture Quote #1

Can your player make a curl cut and score in the lane? If so, he is the cutter Picture Quote #1

When covering the man with the ball, the defense should be able to touch the ball with his hand. He should assume this touching position as the ball is being received. When the ball is received, the defense should discourage the pass into the post area. The hands should be kept up. Keeping the hands up reduces a tendency to foul and allows a player to move his hands quickly Picture Quote #1

Our offensive philosophy is to simply find a way to get the ball into the hands of our team’s best player Picture Quote #1

I would rather have a player who has mastered two or three moves than to try to teach him six or seven Picture Quote #1

I’m not lucky. If I play another player, even if I don’t play really good, I think I can win Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I wish I could have been a bit more relaxed, but then I wouldn’t have been the same player Picture Quote #1

A player must be able to skate, have hockey sense, be able to shoot, but not necessarily be able to score Picture Quote #1

If a player is not interfering with play or seeking to gain an advantage, then he should be Picture Quote #1

Is hockey hard? I don’t know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us. Oh yeah, did I mention that this whole time we’re standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don’t know, you tell me. Next question Picture Quote #1

We should not have to push you to work hard, you should work hard because you want to be a great player Picture Quote #1

There’s no reason why a player is done at 33, 34. They train better, they eat better, they drink better. This isn’t the old days when everybody sat around and drank beer Picture Quote #1

The most important quality I look for in a player is accountability. You’ve got to be accountable for who you are. It’s too easy to blame things on someone else Picture Quote #1

Competition is key to developing players. The only practice environment in which you truly develop a player is a competitive arena Picture Quote #1

One of the most unfortunate things I see when identifying youth players is the girl who is told over the years how great she is. By the time she’s a high school freshman, she starts to believe it. By her senior year, she’s fizzled out. Then there’s her counterpart: the girl waiting in the wings who quietly and with determination decides she’s going to make something of herself. Invariably, this humble, hardworking girl is the one who becomes the real player Picture Quote #1

My goal was just to try and be the best player on my high school team, and look where I am now. And that was still my goal as a young kid, just to try and be a little better than my brother was Picture Quote #1

With a versatile player, there’s no spot on the court you can’t pass him the ball. You can do anything Picture Quote #1
