It's difficult to compare coaches. You really can't compare them.
My coaches were great. My mom and dad. My dad never missed a wrestling meet.
As coaches, any work you may do, it's been done long ago.
Assistant coaches become a little bit more buddies to the players than a head coach.
I hold head coaches accountable.
I've been watching 'American Idol' since its debut season in 2002. Back then, America hadn't yet evolved into a gladiatorial cybernation of bloggers, tweeters, and self-ordained voice coaches.
We should because when coaches get fired, the players have a lot to do with it.
Americans are pretty next level with snowboarding. We have the best training facilities, the best coaches that push us to the next level.
My coaches have done a good job of tightening my skills, where I can dictate a little bit more where the fight is going.
I just think we shouldn't get into counting coaches' records. I've never been for that... but I know that's just American society.
What makes me so confident is my coaches, my team: they are the best in the world, and if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here.
I want to use my connections with coaches, players, celebrities, whomever, and if I can take that friendship and use it to help someone else, I'm going to take advantage of that. I'm not going to apologize for that.
I always felt before Paul Brown, coaches just rolled the ball out onto the field.
I have never believed in comparisons, whether they are about different eras, players or coaches.
I am being taken care of by a higher being than myself or my coaches or my training staff.
What is true of the NFL is that it has been well-managed over the years. And that has been beneficial to the fans, it's been beneficial to the game itself, it's been beneficial to the players, coaches and everyone involved.
Very often we see coaches who have not been successful being recycled, instead of looking to a new face or a new name who has demonstrated the ability to handle the job.
I've had influences from many people including the coaches and players I've worked with.
Coaches who have been players in the league, they get so attuned to playing how they were successful and who their coaches were.
I sometimes think I've needed a bit of an arm around me in my career - which I've not always got from certain managers and coaches who didn't understand me.
Coaches have got to be given rank within the university so that you can't fire a coach unless you go through an academic committee, just as you would with a professor. If coaches are to have any stability and security, they need to be treated like an English professor.
And then ultimately what I tell the kids is: coaches can give you information, they can give you guidelines, and they can put you in a position. But the only person who can truly make you better is you.
There's not a day that I don't work on vocals, have vocal coaches, go to acting classes, read books.
People always get confused. They talk about coaches. The reality is, these coaches and managers that everybody thinks are in so much control, they work for us. They're our employees.
I always do the contrary of what my coaches tell me.
Snoop Dog is the Phil Jackson of youth football coaches. He ain't going to accept nothing but a winner.
St. Louis has a super-rich history of soccer, so I was very fortunate growing up to have coaches that played.
I know a lot of people on the field - players, coaches, managers - are glad that I'm gone.
I played in Europe and it was a great experience, not just because of my team-mates and the coaches we had, but from the fans and the city itself - I played in Gothenburg and I played in Lyon and soccer was everywhere.
The things I was allowed to experience, the people I was able to call friends, teammates, mentors, coaches and opponents, the travel, all of it, are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime.
I had a lot of coaches growing up that were very hard on the kids in the name of building character, but it could have the opposite effect on kids.
I'm very good friends with my former coaches. We speak on the phone a lot.
It's not important, the relationship between the coaches.
Most of the coaches just tell you, 'No, no, you're doing well. This is fine.' But I actually want someone who will tell me what I didn't do right so that I can improve.
I want to thank all my fans, teammates, coaches and supporters for the strength they've given me to overcome so much.
I get asked a lot about my legacy. For me, it's being a good teammate, having the respect of my teammates, having the respect of the coaches and players. That's important to me.
