What was the most valuable thing a coach ever told you?
Mine was “You never rise to the occasion. You always fall to your highest level of preparation”.
I still use that all the time to this day

“You will play like you practice.”
Also, how to wear a uniform (“called a uniform for a reason”) in baseball.
One of the reasons why I hate baseball now.

Play the game as if it's your last. You never know when it's your last chance.

You will live if you don’t die.
Walk the straight and narrow. Good things will happen.
Leave no regrets.

Can’t win them all unless you win the first one.

“Let’s see what he does on the next play”
In the film room, after everyone just watched paperwasp get pancaked or miss an assignment.
Emphasizing not what happened, but how you responded going forward.
Your arse better have responded accordingly.

Honorary mention to my scoutmaster, Rex War.
Not only did he have the most badass name ever, he once informed me to never grab a knife by the sharp edge

When the breaks go against you, pour on more steam.
When the breaks go for you, pour on more steam.
I played awhile for Coach Nick Hyder. Interesting guy. Great Christian man, and one of the most successful coaches in Georgia history. Died way too early of a heart attack.
True story, we had a kid that was beaten regularly by a drunken father, and Coach Hyder took the kid in to his home. He lived what he preached.

Best thing my coach did was defend me when he didn't even know I was in the room. His example was louder than his words for the four years in the two sports I had him as coach.
