Our local college basketball team, the Missouri State Bears, is playing 
coaching career. Pitino also is an excellent motivational speaker. I had the excellent fortune of hearing him last July in
“Too few of us want to deserve victory. Look at your motivation. What is your motive? When winning basketball games was my goal, I won. When making money was my goal, I lost. Your true net worth is how you affect people, for good or for bad.”
“All of the coaches know the game, the Xs and Os, but the true winners, the real leaders, know how to get people to perform at their best.”
“Be positive 98 percent of the time and learning to be positive 2 percent of the time.”
