A Quote by Chris Webber

I think we judge talent wrong. What do we see as talent? I think I have made the same mistake myself. We judge talent by people's ability to strike a cricket ball. The sweetness, the timing.

No matter how you total success in the coaching profession it all comes down to a single factor - talent.

Although not every coach can win consistently with talent, no coach can win without it.
