12 leadership quotes from legendary Coaches:
“Fairness is giving all people the treatment they earn and deserve.
It doesn’t mean treating everyone alike.
That’s unfair, because everyone doesn’t earn the same treatment.”
— John Wooden
“You need to stretch people to help them achieve their full potential..
…the most powerful way to do this is by having the courage to say;
‘I believe in you.’
Those 4 words constitute the most inspirational message a leader can convey.”
— Bill Walsh
“The absolute heart of loyalty is to value those people who tell you the truth..
In fact, you should value them most.
Because they have paid you the compliment of leveling with you and assuming you can handle it.”
— Pat Summitt
“Leadership is not about forcing your will on others..
It’s about mastering the art of letting go.”
— Phil Jackson
“If you want to make a difference in the lives of the people you lead;
…you must be willing to walk alongside them
..to lift and encourage them
..to share moments of understanding with them
..and to spend time with them
Not just shout down at them from on high.”
@TonyDungy
“Leadership, like coaching,
..is fighting for the hearts and souls of men..
And, getting them to believe in you.”
— Eddie Robinson
“Leadership has 3 dimensions:
..connecting w/my players & understanding the fabric of the people I work with.
..having a focus of where you’re taking this team.
And, that I’m always humble enough to self reflect, fine-tune, take the things I like & move forward.”
— Jill Ellis
“Whatever success I’ve had,
..it is because I’ve tried to understand the situation of the player.
I think the coach’s duty is to avoid complicating matters.”
— Bill Belichik
“If you lead people … have a sense of who they are;
..the [environment] they were raised
..the actions that’ll draw out their best
..and the remarks that’ll cause them to be spooked.
The only way to figure this out is underrated:
Listening & Watching.”
— Sir Alex Ferguson
“Leaders are made, they are not born.
They are made by hard effort;
..which is the price all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.”
— Vince Lombardi
“I’m not dealing with footballers, I’m dealing with people.
They have fears and worry about failing,
..and making fools of themselves in front of 80,000 people.
I have to make them see that without each other, they are nothing.”
— Pep Guardiola
“I think I’m masterful when it comes to knowing certain things on the floor;
..but that doesn’t make me a great Coach.
What makes me a great Coach is I know how to meet people where they are;
..to take them where they need to go.”

Here’s an epic reminder to tune out the noise, and believe in yourself:
“It’s not about proving other people wrong.
It’s proving myself right.
If you like me, great. If not, we just keep it movin’.”
