Being fired is part of the risk when anyone plans to take on the responsibility as a head coach.

One asset every leader, shouldn't risk anything to lose at all cost, is team confidence.

I think we had to hit rock-bottom in all facets of the program before we could ever start moving in a positive direction.

Linked together as a team with one goal, we soon realized we were only as strong as our weakest link. But did we condemn the weakermember? That wouldn’t serve any purpose. Instead, the stronger guys responded by carrying more weight than the weaker teammate. Encouragement was key in reaching the top of the stadium, standing as one.Sometimes one person on your team may not be as strong as another. Strengths usually differ. Likewise, in an encounter with another, someone may have a different set of beliefs or ideas.To accomplish any goal, embracing the strengths and weaknesses of each member and compensating where necessary are the best ways to make it to the top.

May we unite in our diverse pursuits to create a peaceful world.

Every time our great Country has been critically challenged either by dictators or terrorists, we as a Country have put aside our personal agendas and focused on doing what we need to do to win when threatened.

Work for what you want, the pursuit of life.
