The thing that drives most coaches out of coaching in college is they get tired of the grind of recruiting.
I train with the best coaches in the world.
It’s a business with the coaches. It’s a business with the front office. So I don’t get too tied up if I’m appreciated by them. Because at the end of the day, my teammates are who I play for.
I’ve had influences from many people including the coaches and players I’ve worked with.
I believe you can be young and compete in gymnastics if you have a coach who is looking out for you and if there is a good gym environment where the coaches are taking care of you emotionally and physically.
I’ve been around great veteran coaches, and they want to help you grow as a coach if you’re willing to learn.
I can’t answer what coaches value me more. I don’t really look for that answer. I look to see if my teammates accept who I am as a basketball player and as a person.
Fighting is a lonely thing. You train with your team. You bleed with them. You trust your coaches, but ultimately, you are in the cage alone.
I believe if the players and coaches respect my viewpoint of the game, then fans will as well. And full credit there goes to the NBA and to ESPN. They are willing to put people like me in a position to do this.
I had a few passionate discussions with my own coaches, but it wasn’t for more playing time or anything like that. It was because, even then, I wanted to run the team my own way.
Coaches have told me I can help the team much more if I don’t talk, if I don’t moan.
Some players are more fortunate than others to have coaches who are more focused on improvement.
Berbatov is a great talent, there is no question about that, and as coaches and managers we demand more from great talents.
Why are baseball managers the only coaches who dress up like the players?
I’m not afraid to learn from my coaches.
All coaches say, ‘We want to control the game. We want the ball. Blah, blah, blah, blah,’ but it’s impossible to have the ball all the time.
I believe every era has its significance and the same holds true for players and coaches.
I’m really proud of my coaches and the people I have training with me.
I think coaches are very much guilty of trying to implement players into their schemes as opposed as trying to fit schemes into players. That’s the thing that can separate good coaches from bad.
If we have poor coaches, that’s a reflection of me and a reflection of what we think we can give to the kids.
My coaches sometimes say I’m a little bit too competitive. But I want to win, and I feel like we should win every game.
Coaches will do what they can but it doesn’t necessarily bother me. You are an international referee for a reason. If things like that are going to ruffle your feathers, don’t bother doing the job.
I have been lucky enough to work with great coaches. My father was also a coach, and my position in central midfield requires tactical knowledge.
I like helping first-year head coaches.
The Oakland A’s, I loved all my teammates there. I loved all the coaches. They gave me the opportunity to play in the big leagues. And for that, I thank them. I mean it was a dream come true for me.
For a team of Evergrande’s level, fans hope to have the top coaches and the coach will definitely face various pressures.
I was at a ballpark as much as I was in school. I was on a basketball court or football field as much as I was in school, so I definitely was receiving mentorship when it came to coaches, my father, my grandfather, and my uncles.
I have worked on my defense skills and played in the midfield as well. Coaches are preparing players to play at any given position.
It’s great for a coach to talk to you and let you know where you’re at and not keeping you in the dark, like some coaches I know.
I had great relationships with all the four coaches I played under at Real Madrid. They all helped me improve, but if I had to pick the best, I would pick Ancelotti.
I think there are much bigger differences between players in this league than between coaches. There is a big gap between LeBron James and the small forward for whoever. Far bigger than between two coaches.
I’ve gotten into spats with coaches, players, as well. It’s just what happens in the NFL.
The way to make coaches think you’re in shape in the spring is to get a tan.
I come from one of the great coaches – Matt Hume, Brad Kertson – and my skill set is well-rounded.
I don’t really put too much pressure on myself. The only time people feel pressure is when they put it on themselves and listen to the outside stuff. I have great teammates and great coaches that do the right things around me that allows me to just focus on the game of football.
As I’ve said, basketball has been, I think, a real cooperative venture. There have been a lot of people that have been involved in it: coaches, administrators – not recently – fans and nobody, nobody any more so than students over the years.
The IPL is just pure, intense. You don’t need all the other stuff. I don’t believe in coaches in international cricket.
I don’t pay attention to what people think. I don’t really care what people think. All that matters is my teammates and my coaches.
You can actually find a lot of gyms that do teach mixed martial arts. But it’s just like with any martial art – you’ve got to look at the coaches, go watch some classes, see how people treat each other and how the coaches treat the students.
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.
For us as coaches, we’re in a different locker room. So we’re coming in pregame, halftime. They spend a lot more time in that locker room than coaches.
Most of the coaches just tell you, ‘No, no, you’re doing well. This is fine.’ But I actually want someone who will tell me what I didn’t do right so that I can improve.
Waving the banner of my coaches is a heavy flag to wield, so it’s something I take very serious.
It’s hard, or you wouldn’t like it. A lot of coaches really don’t like what they’re doing.
That’s one of the things I like about our business: our fraternity of coaches. As competitive as it is, guys find time to share when they can.
Coaches are always looking to evolve.
I don’t think anybody that coaches ever fully quits.
I’m very hard on myself everyday, you can ask my coaches, and after a good training session, I’m not happy because I know I can do better or change something to do better, you know?
I had good coaches and mentors. They helped me a lot, and I trusted them when they tapped on my shoulder to move to the next level. And maybe I’ve been smart enough to always say yes more than no when I’ve been proposed a new and challenging jobs.
Giannis is truly a student of the game. He listens to the coaches, they show him film, and he’s always in the gym working on his game and trying to find ways to get better.
Now, all the people who spoke before, when I won the Golden Ball, have shut their mouths now the coaches and players from national teams have given me this prize and this recognition.
You always think you’re one of those players who will be in one place the whole time, one of those guys they’ll never let leave because you play hurt, do what it takes. But it’s a different age. A lot of coaches, they like having younger guys.
Fishermen and coaches have one thing in common: both need to be very patient.
There are coaches to whom winning or losing means something close to life or death. If they lose, then their life has somehow been diminished. I’m not that way, and it keeps me steady.
All coaches have different ways of working.
As coaches, we learn to accept criticism for our decisions. If a writer says you shouldn’t have gone for it on fourth-and-one, we understand that’s part of the job. We expect it.
Even after you win the championship, the work doesn’t stop; it probably only becomes more. I’m just basically focused on what I need to do. There’s a lot that goes into this – diet, preparation, assembling the right people around you, sparring partners, coaches, etc. – so I’m not enjoying anything.
For every Harvey Weinstein, there’s three or four thousand other pastors, coaches, teachers, uncles, cousins, and stepfathers who are committing the same crimes. We have to keep that in focus and we have to keep talking about it.
When you hear coaches say your son is good, sometimes you think they are just saying it because it’s you.
As I say, there are many coaches in the Performance Center, and some like one thing, others like another. When I arrived I wrestled strong style, but they wanted me to do more of Mexican wrestling, like headscissors, planchas, dives outside the ring.
I think I am underappreciated a little bit, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter because myself, my family, my coaches, my friends, the people around me know how good I am.
If you’ve witnessed bullying or if you’re being bullied, tell somebody you trust. Tell mom and dad. Tell your counselors or your coaches. Tell your teachers. Tell an adult who you trust.
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.
