I'd like to be a great example for other coaches. That's all I want to be.
True basketball coaches are great teachers and you do not humiliate, you do not physically go after, you do not push or shove, you do not berate, if you are a true coach. If you humiliate or curse them, that won't do it. Coaches like that are not coaches.
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.
Great coaches are visionaries. Great coaches instill, nurture, and encourage vision, then model and motivate surrender to it.
At Team U.S.A., I've worked with Doc Rivers, Jeff Van Gundy, Brendan Malone, not just great head coaches but assistants and great college coaches.
I've got a lot of respect for a handful of coaches, and there's a lot of great stuff put out there on film. So, I always want to stay up to speed on those current trends and figure out if you can steal something that fits your players and your system. I'm certainly not afraid to steal from some of these great coaches.
There is only one Jose Mourinho. I have played under a lot of great coaches, but there is no other character in the game like Jose.
I feel so fortunate to have great coaching. Coaches that have taught me great habits and taught me great things about basketball and life, but I've always played for coaches who have held me accountable and that's made me a better player and person.
I've been with some great head coaches, but also some great assistant coaches, too.
There's a whole bunch of other young parents that are just like me. I need to be a great example.
It's a market economy. Apparently the demand for great coaches exceeds the supply, so of course the price of good coaches is going to be high.
I had other coaches when I was younger but my father was there, following all my training. He has seen as much tennis as many coaches on tour.
Footballers have a great opportunity to be a good example because the kids want to listen to you and be like you in many ways.
Growing up as an athlete, I started skating very young. My parents didn't know anything about the sport, so they went with the flow. I had two great coaches who gave great advice and gave guidelines for my parents. My parents let the coaches dictate what was going on on the ice.
I could sum it up in one thing: A guy has to be what he is. He's got to coach and have a philosophy based on his own personality. You see too many coaches trying to imitate other coaches, trying to be someone else. It's all right to emulate the qualities of good coaches but I don't think you should imitate. You've got to be yourself.
The great example, the killer example in history, is of course Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator. Read his speeches. Read the debates. Wendell Phillips called him "the great slaver from Illinois."
As a father, you want to protect, but I also want to prepare her for when she grows up, so I want to be a great example as a dad.
