Best things Quote by Vince Kehres
“The best thing that a coach can have is experience. The first time that you're going out to lead a team on the field, you have certainly thought about what you're going to say, but it gets easier as you go. You'll learn what works and what doesn't, not just about what you do on the field but what you say to players to get them motivated.”

![“[The movies] glamorize game day a little bit too much. It's such a focus. They miss a lot of the nuts and bolts, and the time that goes into the preparation each week, or each couple of days in basketball.” quote by Vince Kehres](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/493/vince-kehres-54173_basketball_the-movies-glamorize-game-day-a-little-b_53072.jpg)
