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

I can remember having meetings with my coaches when things were going bad. I told them, ‘Hey, we've got to be positive. This is the time we need to step up. You've got to make sure they know everything is going to be okay. Keep teaching. Once they see you are down, you lose them and that can't happen.'

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.
