Pat Summitt Believe Quotations

You have to believe Duke and North Carolina and Maryland are all going to be teams in the postseason that are going to be very successful. They've proven themselves throughout the season.

There are some coaches who believe you just let the best players get all the points they can and stop everybody else. Others limit the best player and make other people beat you. For us, we want to guard everybody. But we really want to make sure that we make it hard or at least difficult for that player to continually make the plays.

It's awesome to see where she is now. Even for me as a coach, it's hard to believe how much better she is coming off screens, creating her own shot and scoring in transition.

We have a chance to learn volumes from this. I've said before, this is a talented, but young, team. Hopefully we can learn from this. It's a long season, and I have to believe these players will respond.

Attitude is a choice. Think positive thoughts daily. Believe in yourself.

Discipline is the only sure way I know to convince people to believe in themselves

I never ask Candace Parker if she was thinking about leaving because I never had any reason to believe she would. I just kept the focus on the team and on Candace and the role she played for us.
