Pete Newell told me 'get as much information and learn as much about the game as you can, but use your own personality to teach it.'
Mike Krzyzewski
As teachers and coaches, we must remember that when mere winning is our only goal, we are doomed to disappointment and failure. But when our goal is to try to win, when our focus is on preparation and sacrifice and effort instead of on numbers on a scoreboard then we will never lose.
Mike Krzyzewski
Basketball was not my main sport in grade school, or even the first year of high school.
Mike Krzyzewski
The life expectancy of a team is about eight months. Then the next year, it's a whole new team.
Mike Krzyzewski

Once you win a National Championship, how do you do that again? How do you get the passion to do that again? We won it again right away, the next year. A lot of it had to do with the fact that I didn't give myself an opportunity to enjoy the first one.

I think leadership is never singular. In a good organization, it's plural.
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
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
Sometimes in a defeat, you can set the stage for future victory.
Mike Krzyzewski
Two are better than one if two act as one.
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
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
Confrontation simply means meeting the truth head-on.
Mike Krzyzewski
Almost everything in leadership comes back to relationships.
Mike Krzyzewski
You can see and you can listen, but you have to have moments in which you feel.
Mike Krzyzewski
Fun is to experience things you would not have been able to experience in any other setting.
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
