“We talk in coaching about "winners" - kids, and I've had a lot of them, who just will not allow themselves or their team to lose. Coaches call that a will to win. I don't. I think that puts the emphasis in the wrong place. Everybody has a will to win. What's far more important is having the will to prepare to win.” ThinkingImportantKidsWinningLosesTeamCoachesWinnerCoachingEmphasisWill To Win Author:Bobby Knight

“Offense at Indiana is not equal opportunity. Those players who shoot best are going to shoot most. It is important that every player know his offensive limitations. It is also important that a player know who the best shooter is on the team. When a passer has the option of passing to two players, I expect him to get the ball to the best shooter. I continually stop practice and ask players who the best shooter is and I expect them to know. It is important that you get the ball to your best shooter.” KnowsTwoImportantAsksOpportunityPracticePlayerTeamEqualBasketballBallsPassingPassingsLimitationCoachingOffensiveOffenseBasketball CoachingIndianaEqual OpportunityShooter Author:Bobby Knight

“I think the ability to motivate might be interpreted as the ability to lead, or to show people their goals or, perhaps more important, what their potential is - as a person as well as a player. You've got to show players that being part of a team will carry over to the experience of becoming part of society.” PeopleThinkingWellsPersonsImportantShowsMightSportsGoalAbilityPlayerTeamBecoming Author:Bobby Knight
“It has always been my thought that the most important single ingredient to success in athletics or life is discipline. I have many times felt that this word is the most ill-defined in all of our language. My definition isas follows: 1. Do what has to be done; 2. When it has to be done; 3. As well as it can be done; and 4. Do it it that way all the time.” WayWellsImportantDoneLife IsLanguageFeltSportsLeadershipDisciplineIllDefinitionsDefinedIngredientsMy ThoughtsAthletics Author:Bobby Knight
