More quotes by Mike Krzyzewski
For a college basketball player or coach, to reach the Final Four is la-la land. You’ve achieved, you’ve got your stamp of approval. My first team to do that was in 1986. Then we did it in ’88, ’89 and ’90.

I think coaching is confused at times as being an arrow that only goes to a player. Those players send arrows back to you, and that’s where a relationship is developed. I don’t make a player, and a player doesn’t make me a coach. We make each other.
Mike Krzyzewski

Mike Krzyzewski
As a leader you can get sidetracked but you have to complete your mission
Mike Krzyzewski
When I had troubles, I'd go out - with basketball, you can do it by yourself, too. So you'd go out and shoot, and you'd fantasize.
Mike Krzyzewski
I think leadership is never singular. In a good organization, it's plural.
Mike Krzyzewski
The life expectancy of a team is about eight months. Then the next year, it's a whole new team.

Mike Krzyzewski
First of all, what happens is, when you're good at something, you spend a lot of time with it. People identify you with that sport, so it becomes part of your identity.
Mike Krzyzewski
The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.
