Coaches are like ducks. Calm on top, but paddling underneath. Believe me, there's a lot of leg movement.
To some people, I may seem calm. But if you could peer beneath the surface, you would see that I'm like a duck--paddling, paddling, paddling.
I'm like a duck: calm above the water, and paddling like hell underneath.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
The secret of success is to be like a duck, Smooth and unruffled on top, But paddling furiously underneath.

It's difficult to train like Bielsa. But every coach can learn from different coaches. But with Bielsa, I think all coaches learn something from him.
I used to get a lot of rubber ducks on my birthdays as presents because, you know, I make rubber ducks. But then I get the ugliest ones with a neck, ugly colors, and devil ears. I don't like those.
But someone once described the contrast between a good life and a godly life as the difference between the top of the ocean and the bottom. On top, sometimes it's like glass -- serene and calm -- and other times it's raging and stormy. But hundreds of fathoms below, it is beautiful and consistent, always calm, always peaceful.
Act like a duck. Be calm on the surface, but paddle like hell underneath.
His thumb went back and forth over the satin, as if he were rubbing her hip as he had when they'd been together, and he moved his leg over so that it was on top of the skirting. It wasn't the same, though. There was no body underneath, and the fabric smelled like lemons, not her skin. And he was, after all, alone in this room that was not theirs. "God, I miss you," he said in a voice that cracked. "Every night. Every day.
I had to teach myself how to walk again. It was crazy. I couldn't even make a muscle in my leg. I felt like no muscles in my leg. I was already skinny. It was like my leg was dead.
Movement is one of the most important things. My consistency, everything - there's a lot to improve. Coaches are never happy. But I'd like to keep improving, go deeper in the tournaments, and get as high in the rankings as possible.
