Whatever a leader does now sets up what he does later. And there's always a later.

You can see and you can listen, but you have to have moments in which you feel.
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
If you have talent with teamwork, you've got a chance to be a championship team.
Mike Krzyzewski
Courage gives a leader the ability to stand straight and not sway, no matter which way the wind blows.
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
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
Believe that the loose ball that you are chasing has your name wirtten on it.
