en By the time they were juniors and seniors, they knew exactly what they were going to do before they did it. And that helps. You need to have kids that know each other and that do an occasional back-door [cut] on their own, do an occasional pick out of the offense on their own.

en Our occasional madness is less wonderful than our occasional sanity

Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.
