More quotes by Phil Jackson
Coaching is salesmanship. Coaching is winning players over and convincing them they have to play together. It takes a team conviction to play together to make things work.
Phil Jackson
I know what it takes to be a coach. I've gone through that. I think I came up short my last season. Lots of things were happening physically to me, and emotionally, perhaps mentally, too. I thought it was time to tend to more important things, like health and like family. I still enjoy that, and I don't think I have any need to go back to coach.
Phil Jackson
The real value in everything you do is in the details.
Phil Jackson
Wisdom is always an overmatch for strength.
Phil Jackson
The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.
Phil Jackson
I'm a patient person. I think that's one thing that I feel comfortable I can deal with - the downfall and the errors, as long as I see progress and people trying.
Phil Jackson
People think I would never take on a team that has no legitimate chance to win a championship, This is one of the major misconceptions about me. Success can be measured in many different ways. . . . Either way, I would find the challenge invigorating.
Phil Jackson
The problem with trading dominant players of that size is you never get in return what you've bargained away.
Phil Jackson
I don't believe in curfews, because you can't treat men like they were boys without forfeiting a certain level of trust.
Phil Jackson
The greatness of Michael Jordan is his competitive drive. The weakness of Michael Jordan is his competitive drive
Phil Jackson
If we can accept whatever hand we've been dealt - no matter how unwelcome - the way to proceed eventually becomes clear.
Phil Jackson
Basketball, unlike football with its prescribed routes, is an improvisational game, similar to jazz. If someone drops a note, someone else must step into the vacuum and drive the beat that sustains the team.
Phil Jackson
When the mind is allowed to relax, inspiration often follows.
Phil Jackson
The most we can hope for is to create the best possible conditions for success, then let go of the outcome. The ride is a lot more fun that way.
Phil Jackson
I'm not going to coach again. I've done my coaching, and I think I can put that aside.
Phil Jackson
I gave it my body and mind, but I have kept my soul.
Phil Jackson
I'm not trying to find answers anymore. I'm trying to live what I know.
Phil Jackson
Basketball is sharing.
Phil Jackson
The strength of the team lies within the individual. And the strength of the individual lies within the team
Phil Jackson
The real value in everything you do is in the details. I just like that quote. A very similar way to say the same thing. If you're washing dishes you pay attention to washing dishes. If you're driving a car, you're paying attention to driving the car.
Phil Jackson
