Synopsis

Ask anyone who played sports in high school: What a coach says, you remember. Whether dispensing humor or old-fashioned wisdom, coaches, through the lens of sports, have a way of hitting their mark more often than most advice-givers. Here, for the first time, is a collection of some of the greatest things coaches have ever said, before victories, after defeats, at the beginning and at the end, and during every tense and bizarre moment in between.

"The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven''t made up their minds."--Casey Stengel

"The game isn''t over ''til it''s over."--Yogi Berra

"If you meet the Buddha in the lane, feed him the ball."--Phil Jackson

"Nine out of ten times, that team is going to beat us. Let''s make this the one time we win."--Herb Brooks

Here are the words that have inspired athletes and fans alike. You''ll never forget them.
