I like the guys on the team and the coaching here. I especially like the management. The Galaxy have been really good to me.
Obviously I love coaching. It’s what I’ve done my whole life.
When you’re coaching at Kentucky, you’re held to a different standard, and like in politics, there is a core group that absolutely loves you, and everyone else is trying to unseat you in any way they can – anything to trip you up; that’s what it is. If you’re not up to that, then don’t coach at Kentucky.
When you were away with Ireland, you didn’t really have that much coaching. It was more of five-a-side, or 11-a-side game, and that would be it.
I have coaching friends, and when we get together, we often talk more about what we’re doing to get players’ attention than we do about the fascinating X’s and O’s of our sport.
Training with the best fighters in the world and getting top coaching – I do feel it improved me a lot as a fighter.
Someone said that my coaching is a combination of Milan’s defensive discipline and the Dutch propensity for attacking football, and I think that is a fair description.
Teaching players during practices was what coaching was all about to me.
Playing for Pep has certainly lived up to the expectations. I knew him from the Bundesliga and saw him coaching Barcelona when everyone saw an excellent manager who is able to get players to improve. He is a great personality and a very nice guy.
I was still enjoying coaching, but there was a repetitious manner about it.
I look at the England job. It’s not always about being the greatest coach. You’ve got less than a week before most matches. So do the players need actual coaching, or do they need to be set up in a team structure that works, and then pointed in the right direction? Create spirit, take away the fear.
I just want to keep getting better. People used to ask me – when I was winning in the D-League – why I wasn’t in the NBA, and I’d tell them, ‘I just want to learn and get better.’ I figured it’d happen one day, and if it didn’t, I really enjoyed my time coaching anyways.
The teams that are successful from ownership to management to coaching – there is a singleness of purpose. There’s enough credit for everyone. No one gets territorial. It’s just good – and it shows on the field.
Geez, I just played cricket because I loved the game. I never thought about it much, never really had any formal coaching.
Once all of this is over, I’m definitely going into coaching. I want to change and help people’s lives in many different ways.
They have different styles. Scolari is used to coaching national teams and Mourinho clubs. Both are very successful. They are professionals as well as winners.
I play in dreams. I don’t ever have coaching dreams. But I have football dreams, still.
I want to do some coaching, maybe a couple of days a week, and start building up slowly – find out my philosophy, how I like to play and things like that. I want to be a coach now and eventually I want to be a manager.
The thing that drives most coaches out of coaching in college is they get tired of the grind of recruiting.
I like coaching a lot and I’ve always had this desire in me.
Coaching is what I love to do, and I think I’m pretty good at it.
You’re not going to see Bill Walton or Kareem coming in every three years. Those days are over. That’s what makes the job so difficult. But it’s the dream job for anyone who has spent a career in coaching and has a sense of what UCLA means.
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.
That’s what coaching is: It’s watching film and putting guys in the best position.
It always starts with having great competitors on your team, in your front office, on your coaching staff.
It’s been the video game ever since I got out of coaching. Even when I was an announcer, fewer and fewer people remembered me as ‘Coach,’ and as the years went on, people just started knowing me from the game.
Women face discrimination in sport the world over. The reason we don’t have more Serena Williams is because we don’t really have the same facilities and coaching for women that we do for men.
Marco Silva is always talking to me in training; he is always giving me guidance on positioning in the area. His coaching is essential for me. He is training me with an eye to being in the right place at the right time when balls come into the box so I am able to score more goals.
When you get into playing you strive for one thing, that’s to be a Super Bowl champion. When you get into coaching, you strive to be a Super Bowl-winning head coach. That’s what my goal is.
I never thought of coaching the Indian cricket team. I was given the offer… BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhury and MV Sridhar came to me and requested me to think on the offer. I took my time and then applied for the position.
I’ve been coaching how many years? A long time.
Honestly, I love coaching far more than I ever did playing.
With the athletes, there’s a lot of diversity. But when you look at the management, coaching and the boards, there’s not that much diversity there. I think it’s diversity within those roles that’s needed.
Last week I was in London at an awards show, then I flew home and was in an RV park with my wife and kids in our motorhome, this week I’m in NY doing a charity event, and tomorrow I’ll be coaching my daughters soccer practice. I guess the range of roles I play on film stem from the range of roles I play in real life.
Since I got into coaching, Coach Carroll’s been nothing but great to me and always been willing to help and share some advice and give a perspective.
Life coaching, the mental and physical well-being of footballers, is going to be really important. I don’t mean necessarily in a deep psychological way. But they’re surrounded by a lot of people. Important people, seemingly. Not always. But important in their worlds. They’re mini companies.
People ask me do I want to do my coaching badges. Why? You’re not given a chance, so no. I wouldn’t be looking forward to doing my coaching badges. It’s a waste of time.
I think all the players need coaching; if you do not push the player, they are going to be too comfortable. Always, you need to push.
I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side.
Indeed, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will greatly lead to increased consumer health awareness and self-management and will enable individualized treatment pathways supported by tele-health care and coaching.
If you’re going to coach, you need to have fun coaching.
I am not going to go back into coaching, just to go back into coaching. It has to be the right situation. And I don’t know what the right situation consists of.
I wound up through a wild set of circumstances getting into coaching. I went in and volunteered with Don Coryell, who was a big part of my past, great coach. A lot of people say he was one of the greatest coaches ever. He was very good in high school, college and pro. Another guy on that staff was named John Madden.
We are not coaching on a daily basis because we often travel with our charity and commercial interests.
I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have my very own school – no way. And I had no idea I’d be coaching girls. It’s wild.
The one thing that young coaches should do is if there is an NBA team in your area, get to training camp and see the coaching that goes on.
I didn’t realize the difference between coaching college and coaching the NBA. It’s a totally different animal.
As a receiver, you want to run through contact. That’s the biggest coaching point that most coaches give them. You’re going to get grabbed and you’re going to get into adverse situations. But if you run through contact and do not confuse the quarterback, more than likely you’re going to get the football.
I’m gifted to coach. I know that. And the relationships I’ve built with players, coaches, support staff, I’m gifted to coach and I love coaching and I want to coach.
I did feel support right from the start from LeBron. He’s always shown me a great deal of respect dating back to our battles when I was in Indiana and competing with the Heat in the conference finals, and coaching him in the All-Star Game.
I started watching English news channels and would repeat after the anchor. Since coaching classes were expensive, I joined a call centre where, after undergoing training for a month, I quit. I followed this strategy in 15 BPOs. I could earn money and learn English at the same time.
I always thought I could do a good job coaching, but the opportunities have not presented themselves.
Two of my most important signings were made at the beginning of 2004. I took 20-year-old Clint Dempsey with the eighth pick of the MLS SuperDraft and added 51-year-old ex-Arsenal striker Paul Mariner as my assistant on a free transfer from Harvard University, where he’d been coaching.
Modern-day coaching is about relationships, so I need to know every little thing that will make my players tick. How am I going to get more out of our best players, from Fran Kirby, Lucy Bronze? Lucy wants to be challenged. If you tell her she can’t do something, she’ll try it.
