A Quote by Tom Herman

One of the neatest things I saw with the team at Ohio State - and we preach about it all the time as coaches - is that the team genuinely played for the happiness, success and rings on the finger for the guy next to them.
To point the finger at one guy, at each other or at the coaches, won't do any good. It's not supposed to be the coach. It's our team. The coaches can do a phenomenal job preparing you, but it has to come from within.
If head coaches weren't important to the success of a team, then owners wouldn't fire them all the time.
I told Cruyff I'd have given my little finger to have played for his team, but not just to play at Barcelona but for how they played, because I saw how the players enjoyed themselves.
From my point of view, it is not the coach who becomes world champion, it is a team. Not just the players who played, but the whole squad, and also the team behind the team. Because if you want to achieve success, the whole team has to work perfectly, like a machine, and all the pieces of the puzzle need to fit together into one picture.
The only team that believed in me was the Saints, and I feel like I owe them a great debt of gratitude. I want to give them what they saw in me-a guy who could lead this team to a championship.
In any endeavor, leaders should inspire members of the team with a passion for success, but within the framework of team effort. One of the most crucial things to realize, feel and remember is that when one team member succeeds, the entire team succeeds.
I changed my position when I was 16 or 17. I started in midfield or further forward as a number 10, and then in one tournament, we lost two defenders to injury in the same game, and we didn't have any on the bench. So I played at the back, and the manager of the first team saw me, and he said, 'I want this guy in the first team,' and that was that!
And I'm, whether I want it or not, a front figure for the team, a guy that talks about how the team is doing and represents the team.
I played in Europe and it was a great experience, not just because of my team-mates and the coaches we had, but from the fans and the city itself - I played in Gothenburg and I played in Lyon and soccer was everywhere.
I've had a lot of success by myself, but it's not good when you can't go and accomplish things as a team and have success as a team.
My first year of pro ball I played in the Northwest league and made the all-star team, and the next year I played I led the team in hitting and was third or fifth in the league.
My dad played at Ohio State, my dad coached with Woody Hayes. Ohio State's always been Ohio State.
There's only one professional team in Columbus, the Blue Jackets, but Ohio State is a football state.
In high school I was on the basketball team, but the coach did something I didn't dig and the next day he looked up and saw me practising with the football team.
Ohio State is an up and down team.
It's all about the team first, then myself. As I continue to help the team, I'll continue to build on my success, but it all starts with the team.
