I'm a sports-watcher. I played football and baseball, coached baseball. So I watch those things. -- Phil Jackson
Tennis is not like other sports where the coach is hired by an independent entity, and that makes a huge difference in the dynamic. -- Ivan Lendl
I think sometimes when it comes to sports, and especially relationships between players and coaches, that people lose track, lose a sense of reality. -- Ricky Williams

When I grew up, my father taught us the value of hard work. He wanted us to enjoy ourselves, but he also wanted to know what it took to be successful. He coached a lot of our sports teams growing up.

At the high school level, the coaches get these kids in revenue-driven sports and take them away from baseball. There's so much pressure on these kids to even play spring football.

I think as far as any kind of pressure on a football team or on an individual in professional sports really depends not only on that individual but the leadership they have on the team and the leadership they have on the coaching staff. A lot of times, they can divert some of those pressures off of the individual and off of the team. -- Jimmy Johnson
