More quotes by Mike Krzyzewski

Mike Krzyzewski
It takes courage not only to make decisions, but to live with those decisions afterward
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
The truth is that many people set rules to keep from making decisions.
Mike Krzyzewski

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
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.
Mike Krzyzewski
Effective teamwork begins and ends with communication
Mike Krzyzewski
I always won in my imagination. I always hit the game-winning shot, or I hit the free throw. Or if I missed, there was a lane violation, and I was given another one.
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
Good sound habits are more important than rules - use concepts.
Mike Krzyzewski
The team that trusts-their leader and each other-is more likely to be successful.
Mike Krzyzewski
Sometimes in a defeat, you can set the stage for future victory.
Mike Krzyzewski
I have a plan of action, but the game is a game of adjustments.
