“The accent got lost somewhere along the way. I'm a little embarrassed about it. When I arrived in LA I assumed I'd be able to put on the American accent. It proved difficult so I had six months working with a dialect coach and it's become a habit.” WayLittlesAbleLostDifficultMonthsHabitSixCoachesAccentsEmbarrassedSix MonthsDialectDialect Coach Author:Martin Henderson
“We ask these players to do some very difficult things, for the team, the coaching staff, the school - at risk of injury. And when they do those things, I feel as if I'm in their debt. It's an honor to coach those guys.

“To be fair to Pete, I had just come off a very difficult owner relationship with my then head coach and I was looking for a different style. So I didn't give Pete all the power he should have had. I don't think there's any exact formula for how it's done. It's really what fits each individual system.” ThinkingGivingShouldDifferentDoneIndividualDifficultStyleFitFairsShould HaveCoachesNflOwnersFormulasSuper BowlDifferent StylesHead Coaches Author:Robert Kraft
“The greatest decisions I've made in my life are by instinct. I remember when I hired Bill I had a lot of people telling me it was a mistake. But he and I had established a rapport in '96 when he coached the secondary. You need a coach that understands economics, that understands the impact of the salary cap and how to make those difficult decisions that allow you to sustain success over the long term. I don't think there's anyone better than Bill at doing that.” PeopleThinkingNeedsLongMadeRememberDifficultTermDecisionMistakeEconomicsImpactBillsInstinctCoachesLong TermNflRemember WhenSalaryCapsSuper BowlRapportDifficult DecisionsSalary Caps Author:Robert Kraft
“I still miss the players and I miss the game and the strategy. The first couple years were really difficult. Now I realize I'll never coach again.

“We [ with Russel Crowe] had an Arabic coach there [ in the Body of Lies] that was really helpful, because it was more so than any accent. You have to be so exact, and there's different dialects of Arabic from country to country so it was really, really difficult to tell you the truth. And one of the hardest things I've ever had to do language-wise, because it comes from the throat. It's different. And also learning about the customs and the culture and all that, so we had advisors for that sort of thing.” DifferentCountryBodyLyingCultureLanguageDifficultWiseCoachesHardestHelpfulCustomsThroatAccentsHardest ThingDialectAdvisors Author:Leonardo DiCaprio
“In cooking I found my mentor in this great chef, Albert Roux. I think this is a very important thing in life, to find someone who can steer you because to find it all by yourself is quite a difficult and slow process. That's not to say you won't ever get there, but to find a great coach, a great mentor, someone to show you the way and to open a few windows and doors, is a wonderful thing in life.” ThinkingWayImportantShowsFoundProcessDifficultWonderfulDoorsWindowImportant ThingsCookingCoachesGreat MenThings In LifeMentorChefWonderful ThingsSteersGreat CoachWindows And Doors Author:Paul Rankin
