Concentration is not staring hard at something. It is not trying to concentrate.

The word coach comes from the old English word coach, which was a vehicle, a carriage that took royalty or very important people from where they were to where they wanted to go. That's really what a coach is. He or she tries to create a vehicle that will help you get where you're going, not where the coach wants you to go.

Winning is overcoming obstacles to reach a goal, but the value in winning is only as great as the value of the goal reached.
