Leave it all out on the court. But that won't happen unless you choose to make it happen. Success is not a lucky break. It is not a divine right. It is not an accident of birth.

This is what I do. It's what I've done for twenty-two years, ever since I graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 1974 and began to coach. I learned quickly that motivating people would be the most important responsibility of my career. When I became a head coach at Boston University, I was just twenty-four years old. I was stepping into a program that hadn't had a winning season in years.
