A Quote by Brock Osweiler
As coaches say, it's about finding your role. We're coming together as a team.

Coaches block out the future because they think if they start talking about the future they're not being fair to their current staff or players. That's a real phobia. In some cases it really hurts your family. During the season your commitment is to your coaches and your team.
Coaches understand that pressure is part of the rush of coaching. The challenge of trying to outplay your opponent is part of the fun, the adrenaline, the preparation, seeing your team evolve. It's why coaches become coaches.
I told our players at Butler, 'I hate to break it to you, but you aren't playing beyond here. That's reality. So why are you so concerned with yourself?' It's a hard lesson, but I told them, 'How you handle your role on this team will be remembered by your coaches and your teammates. It will define you.'
Whatever role the coaches decide for me and the team, I'm happy with that.
I hope I'm a role model for female coaches who are coming through.
It just feels amazing to have that moment when you realize things are coming together for your team.
I mean that's what a team is about: just coming together and doing the things that are needed to win.
I went to many coaching clinics, talked to other coaches, read articles, books, etc. Anything I could do that would help me prepare to be the best coach possible. Fortunately, the coaches I had as a player were good men and were excellent role models in setting priorities and relating to the team members and coaching staff.
My main role is to help the team. And I love that role. And I love that my teammates feel comfortable coming to me.
Ossie Ardiles got the job at Tottenham. I knew Ossie well and he brought me back as his reserve-team coach. That was my intro into coaching. Over the years I have known lots of other potential coaches who couldn't see a pathway. They couldn't see role models. There were so many BAME coaches who would apply for jobs and not even get an interview.
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.
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.
It's not that you're not smart anymore; it's that you're unwilling to do it. Coaches who coach know what I'm talking about. You just keep battling to help your coaches and your players, to refine your scheme, to break down your opponent, to find ways to travel and take care of your players.
That's what I love about how diverse our team is - we have such different body types, yet together, we build the best team there is. I think we're stronger together than individually.
Coaches? They can talk. I tell them: 'Just make sure before you open your mouth you've researched what you're about to say. Don't just say stuff. And if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything.'
You're going to have injuries, danger and glory in every sport. What makes football unique is that every person on that team needs to count on everybody else. It's the ultimate team game and you have to depend on your coaches, you have to depend on your support staff, you have to depend on your teammates.
