Pastoral Resources

I did a few more plays, and then I went to L.A., because I knew I could get a coaching job there.

But I was still hoping to be able to coach and teach.

I think it's easy for directors to stay fresh more than actors, especially once an actor becomes a star. It's hard for Russell Crowe to walk down a street or take a subway. I can fly coach.

It's hard when your father's the coach. Sometimes you don't know where one leaves off and the other begins.

My dream, I remember, when I went to boarding school, was to have a study all my own, a little nook someplace where nobody could get at me - nobody, like the football coach.

It's not any one person. It's not any one coach. It's the team.

Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it's important.

All coaching is, is taking a player where he can't take himself.

I coach my daughter's softball and basketball team. We go to all the school functions. We go out to eat at night and take the kids to the movies. We try to be as normal as we can.

Really the team often will take on the personality of its coach.

Coaching really is an individual philosophy.

I always do the contrary of what my coaches tell me.

I had an acting coach while I was doing the show and every week I could see my work improving. I really liked working on the show because I was learning new things every day.

Why are baseball managers the only coaches who dress up like the players?

But we had a fantastic coach, Simon Clifford, who runs a British football youth game which teaches Brazilian techniques - which is what we wanted to incorporate into the film. And some of those things we eventually got in.

I'm a running coach and I am going to continue to run, but I would hope that we are better defensively.

A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning.

We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.

Our coach was absolutely out of his head. He must have read Bear Bryant's book. We had 78 players out. The first day 35 quit. Twenty quit the second day. We ended with 17 players. It was depressing.

The basketball coach cut me within two days, so I was back in the pool. I was the first one in the wall after the first 25 yards, but the last one out because I didn't have a flip turn.
