A Quote by Carl Lewis

I don't feel I'm qualified to be a coach outside the high school level. I think I would need to do more education to really be a good coach.

A coach these days is more of a manager than a coach. At this level, you shouldn't really need a coach. You need someone to organise, to come up with gameplans and tactics, rather than someone who is going to do much actual coaching.

Glenn McGrath

A coach, especially at a college level - much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level - you're more of a teacher than an actual coach.

Matthew McConaughey

I could see myself coaching at the high school level, but I'd really love to coach at UCLA. That would be a dream for me.

Baron Davis

I have the mindset of a coach. I have to think, what would a coach think? How would a coach feel if I'm playing a guy a certain way?

Patrick Beverley

My main influence was my father. He was a great high school coach. I thought one day, if I got lucky, I could be a head high school coach.

Kelvin Sampson

I coach a high school wrestling team and a middle school team. I consider myself a coach and an activist, so I'm really involved in the community.

Nate Parker

When I think of the most valuable coach, I definitely think of a coach like Geno Auriemma, and the things I learned from him that stick out in my mind are his passion for the game, competing at all the little things and doing it at a high level.

Maya Moore

I coach at Rutgers University and help out there as a part-time assistant coach. I feel like the coach is kind of in me, and it would also be great exposure, so I'd be down for it, for sure.

Frankie Edgar

When I was in university, my dream was to be a coach, like a high school track coach. Not to teach.

Victoria Pratt

William McKinley Oswald was my high school football coach. He was a great coach and had a profound influence on my life. But I think he could have learned his method of motivating players from an army drill sergeant.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

The most important relationship a head coach has on his team isn't with the other coaches, the owner or the general manager. It's with the quarterback. He's the one who runs the show on the field; He's the ultimate extension of his coach. If there isn't a high level of mutual trust between them, both coach and quarterback will be doomed.

Bruce Arians

I wasn't really that interested in playing. I had gone through some hard times not playing in high school, but my coach had it in his mind that basketball was the way I would get an education.

Scottie Pippen

If a man can coach a female, why can't a female coach a male? When I was looking for a coach, the gender of the coach never occurred to me. It was about who I thought was good and who I could get along with and listen to.

Martina Navratilova

There's a lot of people who think in order to be a good head coach, you've got to be a head coach at a smaller school.

Kirby Smart

As a parent, you have to be good coach and bad coach, and I think in the college-application process, I didn't want to be bad coach. 'This is amazing! I'm so proud of you!' That's the role I wanted with my kids.
