"Once you learn how to deal with adversity, then you can learn how to handle success."
"When you're well-diversed in those types of sports... it develops you into better IQ and a better athlete."
“When you choose to be a part of a team [your decisions] affect the other people around you.”
“You have to get those opportunities to learn. If a kid plays football and does wrestling and runs track, they've got all those extra opportunities. His development [is] that he is learning to compete. And at the end of the day, I want football players that know how to win. And if you know how to win in wrestling and you know how to win in track, I bet you're going to find a way to win in football too."
"I’m absolutely not a fan of sport specialization, especially a young age. I won 12 state championships in high school, and I played soccer, basketball, and tennis and the skillsets I learned, whether it was footwork or spacing . . . I think sport specialization in some way actually diminishes your IQ at various valuable things."
"When kids specialize young, their identity cements too early. Instead of saying 'I play baseball,' it becomes 'I am a baseball player' and when they start to not perform well, it will become an attack, not on what they do, but who they are."
