Mike Krzyzewski Quotes
- To me, teamwork is the beauty of our sport, where you have five acting as one. You become selfless.
- Fun is to experience things you would not have been able to experience in any other setting.

- I've tried to handle winning well, so that maybe we'll win again, but I've also tried to handle failure well. If those serve as good examples for teachers and kids, then I hope that would be a contribution I have made to sport. Not just basketball, but to sport.
