Coaches are teachers. Some coaches — lesser coaches — try telling you things. Good coaches, however, teach you how to think and arm you with the fundamental tools necessary to execute properly. Simply put, good coaches make sure you know how to use both hands, how to make proper reads, how to understand the game. Good coaches tell you where the fish are, great coaches teach you how to find them. That’s the same at every level.

A good coach does not worry about letting you grow up right in front of them. Because a good coach knows you will. That's what a coach does; They get you ready and then they let you go.

A boss might give instructions and bark orders, a consultant would analyze data and give advice, but a coach would use curiosity to ask, listen and draw out the best from people.

A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life.

To be good, you need to learn from the best.

The outstanding coach is a teacher that gets all his squad to accept the role that he considers to be the most important for the welfare of all.

I was lucky enough to have amazing coaches and to play at the highest capacity. It’s one of those things that you are able to relate and have compassion for the players and know what they’re going through psychologically and use the parallels of how to push and motivate without being negative to help them grow to their highest potential.

Sometimes coaches can teach you new information, new strategies and skills;

The best leaders recognize the talents of each individual and bring those talents out of those people so they can apply them to problems.

Coaching secrets? I don’t think I got any. The main "secret" – love for chess.

The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.
