A Quote by Daniel Cormier

People always get confused. They talk about coaches. The reality is, these coaches and managers that everybody thinks are in so much control, they work for us. They're our employees.

We coaches have to learn how to deal with that: How do I get to each one best - with a talk, with video analysis? And what sort of tone? We need our own coaches for that. The sports psychologist coaches me too.

Jurgen Klinsmann

I put myself around good people, including my assistant coaches. A lot of head coaches are intimidated by their assistant coaches, they'd rather get people that are far less talented than them because it's not threatening.

Tony DiCicco

Coaches can talk and talk and talk about something, but if you get it on tape and show it to them, it is so much more effective.

Larry Bird

I love the way managers and coaches can spin people signing a new contract into telling us it's a transfer, 'these are our transfers.'

Steve Nicol

Everyone wrote our obituary but us and the coaches and the kids who stayed with us. The obit was, 'Vanderbilt will have to leave the Southeastern Conference. All the coaches are leaving, and all the students are transferring.'

Gordon Gee

I had a lot of trouble with my coaches. Your coaches are father figures - you look to what they say. Well, the reality of it is, they are just shmucks.

Ed O'Neill

I just appreciate my team, appreciate my coaches, appreciate everybody involved, from my coaches, my teammates, the training staff... people in the kitchen at the facility, people who clean the building.

Derrick Henry

We've lost a lot of coaches around here, but the philosophy and the approach, the standards we have set and the expectations we have maintained have always been upheld from one year to the next.I attribute that to the great character of the players and the willingness of the coaches to not get influenced and get off-message and to get out of the way.

Pete Carroll

For players, during our active career, it is always difficult to talk about coaches - whether it is former or a current.

Thomas Muller

People can think what they want, but the important thing I've always said is what my family sees and knows, and what my team and coaches know. My team and my coaches know that I work my butt off, that I'm in every day lifting weights, studying, even at home.

Matt Leinart

I always tell people, good coaches are a dime a dozen. Good coaches that are good people, good husbands, good fathers, that love their players and are passionate about doing things in a way that I believe is important, that pool gets real small.

Dabo Swinney

Naturally, managers and coaches are trying to find different ways to work.

Toni Duggan

My coaching staff gets to go to the World Series. From a financial perspective that's great for coaches because baseball coaches in the Major League level don't really make that much money. People don't realize that.

Joe Maddon

I'm very fortunate to work with a great group of guys that are great coaches, great motivators, excited about what they do, have a lot of enthusiasm and are excellent coaches.

Bob Stoops

When you play professionally, you get accustomed to turnover. Players come and go - they get injured, they get transferred, they get cut from the team. Coaches are hired, and coaches are fired. It's just part of the world you live in.
