"That's why we coach, put the smile on the kids' faces." That's leadership, that's the right priority for a coach leading young men to excel at what they do. In the words of Flippy Hoffmann, "If it ain't fun, it ain't worth doing."
“ I press the issue with them. I am not a coach friend. I don't have kid gloves about it. I'm going to press the issue with you because our standard is our standard here. And so the way that they respond to the way that I challenge them gives me confidence to put any one of them in at any time.”
