I have a rule on my team: when we talk to one another, we look each other right in the eye, because I think its tough to lie to somebody. You give respect to somebody. – 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
To me, teamwork is the beauty of our sport, where you have five acting as one. You become selfless. – Mike Krzyzewski
PETAs campaign should be included in school curricula. If we can open childrens hearts and minds to animals needs, teach them to treat a dog or a chicken as if they feel fear and love and pain – as they do – then they will grow up to understand that we are all worthy of respect. – Ingrid Newkirk
