It never stops. It’s 365 recruiting. That cell phone you’ve got, these smartphones are the death of college coaching.
I’m so happy to have joined Celtic and to be with this great team and amazing coaching staff.
I don’t like intensely complicated coaching. I prefer to work things out by myself. A gentle hint is all I need, otherwise it’s like finishing a crossword after someone has given me the answers.
Coaching the national team would be great.
There are certain aspects that I miss of coaching. But you can’t just pick out the good parts. You’ve got to be all-in and understand there’s some negatives, too.
Regarding my coaching philosophy, I think it is important to adapt to the team/players and the culture in the country where you are coaching, but to keep possession is a key issue wherever you are.
It’s going to be a pleasure to coach Cristiano Ronaldo. Certainly, he’s one of the top players in the world next to Lionel Messi, and I’m looking forward to the privilege of coaching such a fantastic player.
It’s amazing what good coaching can do to a team.
If I miss coaching that much, I could go to some little school where they didn’t recruit, where all the kids wanted to go. I believe I could find somewhere to coach.
I’d love to be coaching kids three or four years. You kidding me? That’s what I used to do.
I love it, I love the coaching – at 15 they listen, they learn and take things on board and if they don’t there’s always someone else who wants that opportunity.
Sometimes I miss coaching, but often things are not how they appear in football.
In terms of the coaching aspect and things like that, I’ve always been someone that prides themselves in helping young talent.
Many in top positions around Europe have devoted their lives to coaching.
All coaching is, is taking a player where he can’t take himself.
I’m a fan of coaching.
I think if you had asked me in 2004, ‘Karch, you’re going to be coaching the U.S.A. women’s team from 2013 through 2016,’ I would have said: ‘What are you talking about? You’re a little batty right now.’
In all the years that I’ve been in football – I went directly from coaching to broadcasting – I never really had a lot of experience watching it.
I think the Spanish way is the philosophy is similar to mines and in Spain they are very good at coaching young players for the team.
I’m always going to be around the game of basketball. I plan to keep my options open as a player moving forward, but that’s not coaching. Maybe front office work, working with teams and spreading the game, maybe teaching the game to young people, that’s something that’s a very big passion.
I did what I always wanted to do. Wrestling. – conquered that. Can’t physically do it anymore. So now what? Maybe I’ll paint. Maybe I’ll write another book. Yeah, I’ll try this acting thing and now actually concentrate on it and try and get better at it and take classes and get coaching and give it a shot.
I never dreamed I would coach at UCLA. It was not one of those things in my coaching career I thought would happen. It’s a tremendous blessing, and I’m going to make the most of it.
Coaching – get a guy like Phil Jackson, you expect the coaching to change right away and things to change right away. Ultimately, it takes a lot of time.
I guess I’m going to have to go Google myself and see why people think I shouldn’t be coaching.
Providence had a graduate assistant job opening. They asked me if I wanted to apply, and I applied. That break right there put me in position to learn from great coaches. It really jump-started every other good break I ever had in coaching.
Yesterday I was walking past cows in my village and today I am at Barca, coaching the best players in the world. This is the pinnacle for me.
That’s why the fears of playing or coaching, you want to do everything possible to make it. A lot of teams make it look real easy, but it is hard.
I love the game of basketball; I love coaching. The attention, being on TV, all that stuff, that’s not what it’s about for me.
Anything is possible, and if an opportunity turned up, and it was under the right circumstances, I would love to come back to England in a coaching capacity.
England was the biggest coaching job that I had. You know, in England, the football is connected to all the things in a incredible way. I’m very proud to have been there.
I enjoy coaching.
My college coach was a baseball guy. So why is no one questioning why a baseball player is coaching or analyzing softball when the reverse happens?
If I’m coaching at my academy, and we were drilling the front headlock, we don’t just say, ‘OK, now go five-minute goes,’ because how many tries are they gonna get at going at the front headlock position?
My father didn’t know about cricket. Then, one of my father’s friend advised him to take me to a coaching camp.
I think it’s an unbelievable responsibility to our sport, coaching in New York, because the fans are probably the most knowledgeable, or as knowledgeable as any team in the League.
One of the biggest reasons I like coaching college ball is the kids. I feel I can impact players’ lives. I like the fact that they’re student-athletes. I like to see those kids graduate.
Every manager is different in one way or another, but what stays the same is coaching Barcelona players – players who want the ball, who want to be protagonists on the field – so each manager who’s been here has been able to take advantage of that, and, luckily, I feel we’ve become more complete because of it.
When I was coaching in Turkey, my players played well.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a better experience in the sport than coaching ‘The Ultimate Fighter.’ I got to do it twice, but I got to really build relationships there that will last forever.
When you do make a coaching change, it obviously does shake up everybody, it makes you wonder where you stand in the lineup.
I was with All Pro Dad, and I was coaching. People recognized me as a coach. They might see my face and say, ‘What’s going on there, is that something with the Colts or the Buccaneers?’ Then they realize, ‘This is something with my kids; let me explore.’ So I think that helped, that name recognition.
Phil Jackson is a role model, and basically a coaching idol of mine. He’s someone I really tried to model some of my coaching philosophies after.
My dad and my brother were more keen on football, but I used to play canvas-ball cricket while at school in Ranchi, and we would have cricket coaching camps in the summer vacations. That’s how I started.
To be honored by your peers is incredibly gratifying and I am so thankful to my colleagues across the league for this recognition. I’m also grateful to the talented and dedicated coaching staff I work with every day in Toronto. To be recognized with an award that bears Michael H. Goldberg’s name is very special.
I’ve had a great time coaching teams in these various T20 tournaments but that involvement obviously only lasts for a finite period. I just felt I was too young to be doing what I was doing.
My teammates and the coaching team know that they can count on me.
Really, coaching is simplicity. It’s getting players to play better than they think that they can.
When I started coaching, I wanted to find out quickly if I could do it.
When I have the urge to get back to coaching, I lie down and wait until it passes.
I find that in my own life and with the people I’ve been coaching, when people make the decision to get rich, they’re available to do things that are outside of their comfort zones and stretch themselves.
I feel like, at any given time, if I’m not playing my best football, if I’m not taking coaching points, if I’m not doing things right out there on the field, I feel I can be covered by anyone.
Coaching helps you take stock of where you are now in all aspects of your life, and how that compares to where you would like to be.
I’ve always found myself watching the NBA game more, even when I was coaching college. So I’ll probably gravitate toward doing something in the NBA.
It was tough coaching Australia. They were so set in their ways because they have been the right ways – but the culture needed changing because the discipline was shoddy.
Bobby Petrino slinks through coaching jobs with the stench and trustworthiness of expired mayonnaise.
One of my biggest regrets in coaching was my eighth or ninth game of my career. I was wound up about a conference game in December – I was wound up tight, and we ended up playing really tight. Our players were bickering with the officials, I was bickering… and then all of a sudden we lose.
I think, what I would communicate to people, if you are really keen in helping the world, you could spend so much quality time in terms of coaching, learning, providing great energy to the social entrepreneurs.
I keep saying, and I’ve said it to the players, what happens in a dressing room stays in a dressing room, whether that’s with me and a player, whether it’s two players together, whether it’s the coaching staff and the players. I just think it’s almost a sacred environment and that trust in that area is unbreakable.
