I don't think I was a fine game coach I think I was a good practice coach.

Coach Wilks really embraces that growth mindset and trying to learn and grow every day so he's a good fundamental teacher. He understands the passing game which is important when you coach as a defensive coordinator and also as a secondary coach like he has, so he's one of the top-notch coaches in our business.

Sean McDermott

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.

Laurene Powell Jobs

One thing I have learned over the years, when you're trying to pursue a coach and there is a coach out there that you think is the right fit, you can't wait around. You have to act, you have to act quick because there are a lot of people looking for good coaches.

Joel Glazer

Coach isn't the one playing. The players do that. The coach can only help with planning so if the team loses, I don't think the coach is not as accountable as we hold him as a nation.

Wasim Akram

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 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

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

I'm not sure (whether Demetriou did anything wrong). I wouldn't have thought so ... but I'm not the ACC (Australian Crime Commission), I'm not ASADA. I'm a football coach trying to coach a game.

James Hird

I'm a bit surprised that the Raiders turned to Art Shell to be their new head coach, not because Shell isn't a good head coach - he had success before as the Raiders' head coach - but because he's been away from the game so long and the game has changed a lot in those years.

Ron Jaworski

Every camp I do, I'm always trying to figure out how I can help kids get better, so holding the actual title of coach, that doesn't matter to me. In life, I'm a coach. I think we all are.

Ray Allen

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.

Carl Lewis

I don't like to see any coach get sacked - not Lopetegui, not the Huesca coach, not the Granada coach, and, of course, not the Barca coach.

Ernesto Valverde

You don't coach a Magic Johnson, you don't coach a LeBron, you don't coach really a Lonzo. They understand the game, they smart, they understand.

LaVar Ball

I was just trying to coach and that was the only thing I knew. Coach the team. I think for me, ten years later and a lot of life experiences later, I'm more aware of the partnership that has to take place.
