More quotes by Mike Krzyzewski
Leaders have to give time for relationships. But more demands will be placed on their time as they become more successful. So if a person's success is based on developing relationships, then they have to continually find new ways of getting it done
Mike Krzyzewski
I'm looking for players who make their teammates better. You do that with enthusiasm and passion.
Mike Krzyzewski
A leader has to be positive about all things that happen to his team. Look at nothing in the past as failure.
Mike Krzyzewski
In order to be a winner, you have to look for ways of getting things done and not for reasons why things can’t be done. People who live with excuses have things that can’t be done hovering around them all the time.
Mike Krzyzewski
Leaders should be reliable without being predictable. They should be consistent without being anticipated
Mike Krzyzewski
When you are speaking to your team after a game, never talk about the kid who was the star of the game. Talk about what your other players did to help the team win. Be sure to spread the wealth... Then have individual meetings with one to three players to praise and reinforce. Make sure you touch them.
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
Confrontation simply means meeting the truth head-on.
Mike Krzyzewski
Effective teamwork begins and ends with communication
Mike Krzyzewski
In developing teams, I don't believe in rules. I believe in standards. Rules don't promote teamwork, standards do
Mike Krzyzewski
I have a rule on my team: When we talk to one another, we look each other right in the eye, because I think it's tough to lie to somebody. You give respect to somebody.
Mike Krzyzewski
During critical periods, a leader is not allowed to feel sorry for himself, to be down, to be angry, or to be weak. Leaders must beat back these emotions
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
Sometimes in a defeat, you can set the stage for future victory.
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
I don't think we surprise people. We try to out-execute them.
Mike Krzyzewski
I love practice. It is when a coach exercises the most control over the improvement of his or her team.
Mike Krzyzewski
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
When a leader takes responsibility for his own actions and mistakes, he not only sets a good example, he shows a healthy respect for people on his team
Mike Krzyzewski
If a team cannot perform with excellence at a moment's notice, they probably will fail in the long run.
