“Everyone needs a coach. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.” 

“Probably my best quality as a coach is that I ask a lot of challenging questions and let the person come up with the answer.”

“A coach is someone who tells you what you don’t want to hear, who has you see what you don’t want to see, so you can be who you always knew you could be” 

“All coaching is, is taking a player where he can’t take himself.”

“Listening is such a simple act. It requires us to be present, and that takes practice, but we don’t have to do anything else. We don’t have to advise, or coach, or sound wise. We just have to be willing to sit there and listen.”

“The best coaches really care about people. They have a sincere interest in people.”

“Coaches have to watch for what they don’t want to see and listen to what they don’t want to hear.”

“The goal of coaching is the goal of good management: to make the most of an organization’s valuable resources.”

“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It’s helping them to learn rather than teaching them.”

“Coaching is a profession of love. You can’t coach people unless you love them.”
