1) Always protect the team: “We need our players to look out for one another at all times.”

2) No whining, no complaining, no excuses: “I strongly believe in the power of intentions and wanted everyone in our program (at USC) to speak in the affirmative. Whereas a negative mentality attracts negative thoughts, a positive approach creates the power of possibilities.”

3) Be early: “(It’s) all about being organized and showing respect. We would tell the player that by being early, he would make every aspect of his life easier. By being organized, he would play with more confidence.”
