More quotes by Phil Jackson
Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the Me for the We.
Phil Jackson
The sign of a great player is how much he elevates his colleagues' performance.

Coaching is about, How do I get people to play at their peak level? It is a spiritual quest. And if it's not that, you don't have a challenge, you don't have a mission. Forming a brotherhood and trying to move it forward - that's what coaching is.
Phil Jackson
No one plays this or any game perfectly. It's the guy who recovers from his mistakes who wins.
Phil Jackson
In basketball - as in life - true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way.

What moves me is watching young men bond together and tap into the magic that arises when they focus with their whole heart and soul on something greater than themselves. Once you've experienced that, it's something you never forget.
Phil Jackson
Love is the force that ignites the spirit and binds teams together.
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 played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that.
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
Basketball is sharing.
Phil Jackson
Basketball is a simple game. Your goal is penetration, get the ball close to the basket, and there are three ways to do that. Pass, dribble and offensive rebound.
Phil Jackson
Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever I'm doing.
Phil Jackson
The real value in everything you do is in the details.
Phil Jackson
