Mike Krzyzewski
Imagination has a great deal to do with winning.
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

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
Embrace the hell out of personal responsibility.
Mike Krzyzewski
I'm still not a great reader, but my wife is and my daughters are, and I envy them. I think I got into a bad habit of trying to do something all the time, instead of trying to sit down and take my time a little bit.
Mike Krzyzewski
Basketball was not my main sport in grade school, or even the first year of high school.
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
Two are better than one if two act as one.
Mike Krzyzewski
Don't let a single game break your heart.
Mike Krzyzewski
My hunger is not for success, it is for excellence. Because when you attain excellence, success just naturally follows.
Mike Krzyzewski
