More quotes by Mike Krzyzewski
Friendships, along with love, make life worth living.
Mike Krzyzewski
If you have talent with teamwork, you've got a chance to be a championship team.
Mike Krzyzewski
I think leadership is never singular. In a good organization, it's plural.
Mike Krzyzewski
Confidence shared is better than confidence only in yourself.
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 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.
Mike Krzyzewski
You can see and you can listen, but you have to have moments in which you feel.
Mike Krzyzewski
Mutual commitment helps overcome the fear of failure—especially when people are part of a team sharing and achieving goals. It also sets the stage for open dialogue and honest conversation.
Mike Krzyzewski
I love practice. It is when a coach exercises the most control over the improvement of his or her team.
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
Leadership is simple: Add value to people everyday.
Mike Krzyzewski
Each group and each youngster is different. As a leader or coach, you get to know what they need.
Mike Krzyzewski
Almost everything in leadership comes back to relationships.
Mike Krzyzewski
My hunger is not for success, it is for excellence. Because when you attain excellence, success just naturally follows.
Mike Krzyzewski
I try to see each new season as a new challenge because I have a new team to work with, new opponents to encounter, and often new ideas and theories to try
Mike Krzyzewski
With me and basketball, it became part of me.
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
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
Great rivalries don't have to be built on hatred. They're built on respect, on a respect for excellence.
Mike Krzyzewski
You can't defer if you're the person who's in the leadership position.
Mike Krzyzewski
