Good sound habits are more important than rules - use concepts.
Mike Krzyzewski
A team is a fist-not five fingers.
Mike Krzyzewski
My mom gave me unconditional support and unfailing love. You can't get any better than that. That's why I've never been afraid to lose.
Mike Krzyzewski
There are kids don't want to do something because they're afraid of looking stupid to their peers. There comes a time when they start protecting themselves, instead of extending. I want to make sure that they're always trying to extend themselves.
Mike Krzyzewski
I've tried to handle winning well, so that maybe we'll win again, but I've also tried to handle failure well. If those serve as good examples for teachers and kids, then I hope that would be a contribution I have made to sport. Not just basketball, but to sport.
Mike Krzyzewski
In our program, the truth is the basis of all we do. There is nothing more important than the truth because there's nothing more powerful than the truth. Consequently, on our team, we always tell each other the truth. We must be honest with one another. There is no other way.
Mike Krzyzewski
Talent is important. But the single most important ingredient after you get the talent is internal leadership. It's not the coaches as much as one single person or people on the team who set higher standards than that team would normally set for itself. I really believe that that's been ultimately important for us.
Mike Krzyzewski
Sometimes it's not bad to hurt. Sometimes you don't want things until you get hurt. We got hurt today, let's see what we do.
Mike Krzyzewski
I think you're not a human being unless you have doubts and fears.
Mike Krzyzewski
Leaders should be reliable without being predictable. They should be consistent without being anticipated
Mike Krzyzewski
Every leader needs to remember that a healthy respect for authority takes time to develop. It’s like building trust. You don’t instantly have trust, it has to be earned.
Mike Krzyzewski
I don't think you play for other people's expectations, you know. You don't go and become a lawyer because your mother or father want you to, you don't become a coach because somebody wants you to.
Mike Krzyzewski
When you cleanse yourself of a big victory, you may open yourself up to the opportunity for an even bigger victory
Mike Krzyzewski
Great rivalries don't have to be built on hatred. They're built on respect, on a respect for excellence.
Mike Krzyzewski
It's funny what happens when you become a grandparent. You start to act all goofy and do things you never thought you'd do. It's terrific.
Mike Krzyzewski
Basketball was not my main sport in grade school, or even the first year of high school.
Mike Krzyzewski
The other thing I knew I had was a high level of competitiveness.
Mike Krzyzewski
That's why basketball was so good, because I didn't really need you or anyone else to play it. It would be better if we played four-on-four or five-on-five, but I could go out there alone.
Mike Krzyzewski
Leaders show respect for people by giving them time.
Mike Krzyzewski
In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.
