When you play against dirty players or very tough players, it's easy to escape because you know what they're going to do. But when the player is tough but intelligent, it's much more difficult.

Pele

Steve Jobs has a saying that A players hire A players; B players hire C players; and C players hire D players. It doesn't take long to get to Z players. This trickle-down effect causes bozo explosions in companies.

Guy Kawasaki

It was extremely tough to leave Washington. Especially with the chemistry that we built, players getting better over there. My family and the players, our families became really close. That was tough, I ain't going to lie.

Trevor Ariza

Players alone don't win championships. It takes an entire organization. Someone has to acquire the players. Someone has to coach them. Someone has to generate revenue to pay them. But at the end of the day, the players are the ones who put their minds and bodies on the line to win.

Jerry Reinsdorf

It was a really empowering thing playing with Golden State, because they let the players play and they let the players communicate and they let the players decide things.

JaVale McGee

How do you win? By getting average players to play good and good players to play great. That's how you win.

Bum Phillips

To play with ten players for over half of the match is never going to be easy against anybody, particularly on their home field. But I thought the team adjusted fairly well and at times we looked really good with only ten players. Still, it's a win, and it's a win for the Rivalry Series and I'm happy about that.

Jerry Smith

The great players understand that you need to play with other great players to win the title.

Daryl Morey

Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got.

Larry Bird

I always felt if you were going to be successful, make sure you get good people. You win with great players. Coaches don't win games. Players win games.

Hank Stram

Coaching doesn’t start with X’s and O’s. It starts with believing that players win games and coaches win players.

Bill Courtney

Arsenal do not have money to spend, so they are gambling on young players. Arsenal are obliged to sell their best players and bet on youth - but what counts is having a team, great players, and a solid squad to win titles.

Samir Nasri

I really do care about the health of the players. That's one of the tough things about the NFL - it's so physically tough on the players.

Paul Allen

I always liked to be fairly simple because you could get more players ready to play quickly. If you lose players to free agency, injuries, etc., it is easier to get young players ready to play in a less complex system.

Tony Dungy

I always like the players to be within 10 to 15 metres of each other. When the attacking players try what I am asking them to do, and it breaks down, there are players close enough to then go and win the ball back and counter press the game.

Brendan Rodgers

Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi never ever stop playing for the team. If I were young today, they are players on which I would mirror myself. Players of this level, play for the team. Players that are the best because they prepared themselves to bet You don't see these players going out, on social media, skipping training to be in parties.
