“The thing I want to teach my players is confidence. I want them to have a swagger on the court. I want them to learn how to battle and compete because that’s how you get to the top. I don’t want them to just think they’re good, I want them to believe they’re good and everyone around them to see that. Because the way you see yourself has everything to do with how the world sees you.”

“It’s not just about basketball. Basketball is just a game. The thing that it teaches you is about life and these are the lessons I want them to learn.

I think it’s time for people to look in the mirror and say, maybe there’s the problem. What are you willing to stand up and fight for.”

“Success in life is all about making good choices, so choose to be positive. You can’t succeed in life without a positive attitude. One of the most exciting things is everyday we can wake up and reinvent ourselves. It’s never too late to become who you wanted to be.”
