Mike Krzyzewski

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
My mom gave me unconditional support and unfailing love. You can't get any better than that. That's why I've never been afraid to lose.

Mike Krzyzewski

Mike Krzyzewski

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
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
I have a rule on my team: When we talk to one another, we look each other right in the eye, because I think it's tough to lie to somebody. You give respect to somebody.
Mike Krzyzewski
Every leader needs to remember that a healthy respect for authority takes time to develop. It’s like building trust. You don’t instantly have trust, it has to be earned.
Mike Krzyzewski
It takes courage not only to make decisions, but to live with those decisions afterward
Mike Krzyzewski
You should do things because of what your expectations are of yourself.
Mike Krzyzewski
