Mental training for peak performance by Steven Ungerleider quotes II
-I have never been to a competition where I didn't see myself win in my mental images before I got there. It is just part of the whole training package.

-The winner is the one with the fewest doubts.
-If your mind is distracted or cluttered with self-doubt, then the muscle memory and subsequent motions will be cluttered, jerky and not at all a clean athletic motion.Our minds and bodies are deeply connected.
-Once you visualize the element and get comfortable in your mind, you will then be able to perform it on the bar.
-Trust yourself and your imagery that this is all going to work, and work safely.
-If you have a bad start, stay calm and put if behind you.
-Practice as if it were the biggest race of your life.
-Have that supreme confidence when you train and bring it with you when you compete.

Bobby Knight Philosophy
Knight was an innovator of the motion offense, which he perfected and popularized. The system emphasizes post players setting screens and perimeter players passing the ball until a teammate becomes open for an uncontested jump shot or lay-up. This required players to be unselfish, disciplined, and effective in setting and using screens to get open.
Knight's offense also emphasized a two-count. Players in the post are expected to try to post in the paint for two seconds and if they don't receive the ball they go set a screen. Players with the ball are expected to hold the ball for two seconds to see where they are going to take it. Screens are supposed to be held for two seconds, as well.
Often during practice, Knight would instruct his players to a certain spot on the floor and give them options of what to do based on how the defense might react. In contrast to set plays, Knight's offense was designed to react according to the defense.

On defense Knight was known for emphasizing tenacious "man-to-man" defense where defenders contest every pass and every shot, and to help teammates when needed. However, Knight has also incorporated a zone defense periodically after eschewing that defense for the first two decades of his coaching career.
Knight's coaching also included a firm emphasis on academics. All but four of his four-year players completed degrees, a ratio of nearly 98 percent. Nearly 80 percent of his players graduated compared to the national average of 42 percent for Division I schools.
