The head coach is the chemist.
I was still young when I missed Beijing. I was favourite to win a medal but I knew I had time. My coach advised me to stay at school and finish my exams. Even if I had gone and won the Olympics, I might not have handled the pressure. So I moved on.
I’m a hockey coach and a single mother of two who commutes. I don’t watch TV. I watch news, and that’s it!
My first career was as a coach and a teacher.
It’s a lot easier to get a suit than it is to get a coach.
There’s nothing like playing. You can coach and you can be around the game, but there is nothing like playing. It’s just so much fun.
I’ve been in just about every situation as a player and coach and manager. I’ve been in the playoffs, World Series, and I know how to get there.
When Coach Belichick comes up to you during a game and says something to you, that’s great.
Coach Saban’s a great coach; he does it his way, and I have to do it my way. I have to cut my own cloth.
In 1999, I got fired as coach of New England. In three years in New England, we actually did better than most people think. We were 27-21, won the AFC division title, went to the playoffs twice.
Here’s the thing. You can’t get ten thousand hours of skiing. You spend so much time on the chairlift. My coach did a calculation of how many hours I’ve been on snow. We’d been overestimating. I think we came up with something like eleven total hours of skiing on snow a year. It’s, like, seven minutes a day.
In Jamaica High School in New York, my coach was Larry Ellis, and he said I could probably make the Olympic team. He gave me something to shoot for.
I have to say that flying on Air Force One sort of spoils you for coach on a regular airline.
My explosiveness, I really couldn’t show it at UCLA. It’s still there. It’s always been there. It was not a lot of running. It was a half-court game. Coach Howland came from the Big East, and so you know that’s a grind out game.
At TechStars, I have the privilege of working with hundreds of the best and brightest start-up mentors on the planet. We coach our mentors to take a Socratic approach and to provide data rather than decisions.
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.
Speaking to the coach has been my number-one criterion at every club I’ve played for to find out what he expects from me, how he will make me improve, and that he’ll play me.
I try and put in a weights section one day a week. I’d go to a different gym and work with a different coach: squatting, bench press, dead lifts. Just basic work. Pull-ups. Ground work. A lot of sit-ups and a lot of push-ups.
Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.
I’m happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would’ve been good.
When I was really little, I was on a Pop Warner squad. I did it for a year. My dad was a Pop Warner football coach. I did it because my best friend was also on this cheer squad, and of course I looked up to my sister who was a cheerleader, so I wanted to cheer.
We’re not Seattle East. We’re our own Atlanta, and there are definitely things I learned from Coach Carroll. He had probably the single biggest influence on my coaching career.
I can’t hold a note. I tried a singing lesson, but my vocal coach kept giving me the stink eye.
Really the team often will take on the personality of its coach.
The fault always lies in the candidate or the head coach or the guy holding the ball.
Baseball was a chapter in my life, and now I’m excited to start another chapter as a hitting coach.
Every coach desires to bring in his own support staff.
Every morning I would rise at the crack of dawn and after the usual ablutions, would get into my sports kit and dash off to the track, where I would run two or three miles cross-country, in the company of my coach.
We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.
I’d give my life to be the national team coach.
The riskiest thing I have done in my fifties is to do a Polish accent for a new film. I had a great time working on it and two wonderful people to guide me. A dialect coach that I have known for thirty years and a Polish actor.
Ancelotti would be an interesting option for Bundesliga clubs. Of course, there would only be one or two clubs in Germany that would be an option for a world-class coach like him.
When I was studying at the Iowa Writers School, I read a sports writer, Ron Maly, from the Des Moines Register. He was a good sports writer. I became real interested in the contrast between Lute Olson, who was the coach of Iowa at the time, and Ron Maly.
So you get two good hours on the field about every day, you get about an hour and a half in the meeting room and that’s pretty much all you need to thoroughly coach your team.
Unfortunately, sometimes the fans forget who puts the money and passion into the club. It’s funny, but when you win, it’s the coach and the players who are responsible, but when you lose, it’s the owner’s fault; but that’s football.
I am a coach. I don’t have to have a title. I have five children that need guidance.
You can’t win unless you have good people with great attitude. They are the ones who won the games. I didn’t win any games. You never saw a coach make a tackle anywhere. My philosophy was to get the best players and then try to do something new with them.
I think my broadcast partner Mike Gorman said it best. He said there’s a generation of fans who know me as a player and there’s a generation of fans who know me as a coach and now there’s a generation of fans who think I’m Shrek!
I got interested in coaching while I played at St. Joseph’s. Because we played a national schedule, we played teams coached by Nat Holman, Joe Lapchick, Hank Iba, and others. I could see the impact the coach had on their teams, and I thought, ‘That’s a pretty good thing to do.’
If you’re not in someone’s face, they’re not going to remember you. So get yourself back into an acting class; get a coach. Do those things you did when you were 20 and wanted it so bad.
I became a head football coach when I was 27 years old at Miami of Ohio.
I am a coach on the outside of the establishment and that works.
Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That’s got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.
A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.
CrossFit is all about constantly-varied, high-intensity movements. And to do these movements, you have to have a certified coach to take you through this – or any type of physical activity.
When I was younger, my coach, Liang Chow, made all the decisions. I would go to the gym for practice, do exactly what Chow told me to do, go home, come back and start all over again. If Chow told me to do 50 squat jumps, I did 50 squat jumps.
I had an acting coach while I was doing the show and every week I could see my work improving. I really liked working on the show because I was learning new things every day.
My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn’t much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn’t even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.
I was a director and dialogue and acting coach.
I have been involved in this sport since I was eight years old, so, hopefully, I can train and coach athletes down the line.
No one likes getting hit. It’s a normal thing… I used to make up excuses when the coach would ask me to get in the ring. I’d say I forgot my mouthpiece, or I’d say I had a headache or something.
When I started playing in Sweden, there was nobody watching. No one knew who I was, so I was just playing for the love of the game. And after my first season, my coach came up to me and said, ‘Of all the people you’re the one who smiles the most on the field,’ and that was the biggest compliment I ever received.
