Don't know who said this but can relate to the softball world:
" Sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence."

 

here's a couple

Coaching
The minute you get away from fundamentals * whether it's proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation * the bottom can fall out of your game. - Michael Jordan
Fundamentals were the most crucial part of my game in the NBA. Everything I did, everything I achieved, can be traced back to the way I approached the fundamentals. - Michael Jordan
Getting a great idea should be like sitting on a tack; It should make you jump and do something. - Unknown
Never did I want to call the first time-out during a game. Never. I wanted UCLA to come out and run our opponents so hard that they would be forced to call the first time-out just to catch their breath. At that first time-out the opponents would know, and we would know that they knew, who was in better condition. This has a psychological impact. - John Wooden, former UCLA basletball coach
Children need models rather than critics. - Joseph Joubert
Teaching is not a profession; it's a passion. - Unknown
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. - William Arthur Ward

Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin' and preachin' were a lot alike. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
The standard of excellence on any job site is defined by the sloppiest piece of work you will accept. - F. Jones
But it's still a coach's game. Make no mistake. You start at the top. If you don't have a good one at the top, you don't have a cut dog's chance. If you do, the rest falls into place. You have to have good assistants, and a lot of things, but first you have to have the chairman of the board. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
What you tolerate you encourage. - Unkown
Hire the best people and then delegate. - Carol A. Taber
A coach's job is to see the team not as it is, but as it can become. - Unknown
The fullness or emptiness of life will be measured by the extent to which a man feels that he has an impact on the lives of others. - Kingman Brewster
It's not what you tell yor players that counts. It's what they hear. - Red Auerbach
Success ... has nothing to do with what you gain or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others.. - Danny Thomas
Always have a plan and believe in it. I tell my coaches not to compromise. Nothing good happens by accident. There must be a plan for everything and the plan will prevent you from overlooking little things. By having that plan, you'll be secure and self-doubts will never become a factor. - Chuck Knox
Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs. - Henry Ford
Effective coaches live in the present, but concentrate on the future. - Unknown
I would rather be known for coaching great men then coaching great wrestlers - Howard Fergusson
You have the greatest chance of winning when your first commitment is to a total and enthusiastic involvement in the game itself. Enthusiasm is what matters most. - John Brodie
There are no little things. - Bruce Barton
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. - Winston Churchill

Since the time of the ancient Greeks, we have felt that there was a close relationship between a strong vital mind and physical fitness. - John F. Kennedy
You can accomplish anything in life provided you do not mind who gets the credit. - Harry S. Truman
As teachers and coaches, we must remember that when mere winning is our only goal, we are doomed to disappointment and failure. But when our goal is to try to win, when our focus is on preparation and sacrifice and effort instead of on numbers on a scoreboard then we will never lose. - Mike Krzyzewski, Duke University basketball coach
To a group of wrestling coaches: Promote your sport or lose it! - Bobby Douglas, Iowa State University
People matter more than winning and courage matters more than skill. - Michael J. Gray
One of my goals is to have NO wrestler go undefeated. - Jeff Buxton, Blair Academy
The most important statistic for a wrestling coach isn't how many dual meets the team won nor the number of state champs they produced. It's the number of wrestlers they had in the room on the last day of practice. - Greg DeMarco
Yelling doesn't win ball games. It doesn't put any points on the scoreboard. And I don't think words win ball games all the time. Players do. Preparation does. - Jerry Tarkanian
Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
If you want to coach you have three rules to follow to win. One, surround yourself with people who can't live without football. I've had a lot of them. Two, be able to recognize winners. They come in all forms. And, three, have a plan for everything. A plan for practice, a plan for the game. A plan for being ahead, and a plan for being behind 20-0 at half, with your quarterback hurt and the phones dead, with it raining cats and dogs and no rain gear because the equipment man left it at home. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
If there is one thing that has helped me as a coach, it's my ability to recognize winners, or good people who can become winners by paying the price. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
Children have more need of models than critics. - Carolyn Coats
The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention. - Richard Moss, M.D.
The happiest people are those who have harvested their time in others. The unhappiest people are those who wonder how the world is going to make them happy. - John C. Maxwell
Winning is the science of being totally prepared.- George Allen
Find your own picture, your own self in anything that goes bad. It's awfully easy to mouth off at your staff or chew out players, but if it's bad, and your the head coach, you're responsible. If we have an intercepted pass, I threw it. I'm the head coach. If we get a punt blocked, I caused it. A bad practice, a bad game, it's up to the head coach to assume his responsibility. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
The old lessons (work, self-discipline, sacrifice, teamwork, fighting to achieve) aren't being taught by many people other than football coaches these days. The football coach has a captive audience and can teach these lessons because the communication lines between himself and his players are more wide open than between kids and parents. We better teach these lessons or else the country's future population will be made up of a majority of crooks, drug addicts, or people on relief. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you. - Paul "Bear" Bryan
You have to learn what makes this or that Sammy run. For one it's a pat on the back, for another it's eating him out, for still another it's a fatherly talk, or something else. You're a fool if you think as I did as a young coach, that you can treat them all alike. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
I'm no innovator. If anything I'm a stealer, or borrower. I've stolen or borrowed from more people than you can shake a stick at. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
If you whoop and holler all the time, the players just get used to it. - Paul "Bear" Bryant
Praise in public, criticize in private. - Unknown
Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs. - Henry Ford
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. - Unknown
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him... The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. - Will Rogers
