When I was a very young coach, I had the opportunity to be around a very old coach who was recently inducted into the State Coaches Hall of Fame. He mentioned that he had just come from a clinic where another coach, who I didn't think much of, was speaking. When I asked "what did you learn from him", he replied as if he had said this one-thousand times before, "I learned a ton. I learned a couple things I had never thought of. And I learned a some things that I will never do. We can all learn from anyone if we are willing to listen with an open mind. You can learn something from the least successful person in the world if you pay attention and don't think you know it all already". “Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.” —Augustine Og Mandino
