The biggest thing I tell the boys is control the heartbeat. It's hard to do, but we've gotta be able to control the heartbeat in big moments because it goes really quick. So just stay in that moment and focus on the moment, don't get ahead of yourselves, and just play the game that we've been playing all year.

The one thing I always hear from the players is they say, ‘You never change… no matter what happens, you have conversations with us, you are always positive.' They appreciate that.

I've had many managers, and learned a lot from them, the good ones always stayed even-keeled, never rode the waves.
