My ambition in high school was to be a high school coach and teacher, and thats still what I do: teach. – Mike Krzyzewski
The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed. – Mike Krzyzewski
I think some parents now look at a youngster failing as the final thing. Its a process, and failure is part of the process. I would like it if the teacher and the parents would connect more. I think that used to be, but were losing a little bit of that right now. – Mike Krzyzewski
In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure. – Mike Krzyzewski
