Chris Carlisle Quotations

Would I like a 40,000-square-foot facility? Sure. But we are what we are. I'm going to make the best out of what I have.

There are a lot of good sticks out here today. Our guys are swinging great, and most of them are fresh to the course.

I don't consider myself a cancer survivor because I never became a victim.

He has been a perfect match since he got here.

I think that a great part of healing was I didn't sit and despair about 'woe is me. Why me? Why me?' I never had that time.

Early in the season, I went and printed off the state field from last year and told the guys we'd be right in the middle of the 12 teams,

There's something about golf that you don't get with basketball and football and other sports. Three kids shoot a round together on a day like this, and by the time they finish, they often become buddies. This is a beautiful course. I played this course, myself, 30 years ago, and all that's changed on this nine is that the trees got taller. It's just great to be out on an afternoon like this.

This is regular speed. I'm not speeding this up at all. It's Reggie Bush working on cutting ability, pushing from one foot to another. Granted, Reggie is a natural athlete, but if he doesn't work on his skills, then he takes a chance of losing or diminishing those skills.

I told them, 'You know what? I'm wrong. I've thought all year we were good enough to go to state. I guess I'm wrong. Load 'em up,' ... I truly felt I'd let the guys down. I felt that somehow I hadn't done the right things to let them reach their full potential.

It's one of the most phenomenal things I've ever seen, and I coached basketball 26 years at Otterbein (College). During the summer, he'd go through four hours of two-a-days then go out and play 18 holes. One day he shot 73. I don't know when he sneaks in the extra time to play.

The best way to get your message out is word of mouth. The most important thing is to have (viewers) trusted in their lives tell them that they have to watch a show.

Anytime you win when you're not playing your best, it's the mark of a good team.

I'm real pleased from our progress just from yesterday to today. Today, I think that we came closer to our potential. Some players played right to their potential, and I think that others are getting there.

I'm married. I had an 18-month old son (Alex). I had a lot on my plate.

I look at Chatham and Moncton, I'm a little wary of them too. They beat us 11-9 down there and they can hit the ball. Ben Higgins, at 15 years old, is probably one of the top three or four young ballplayers in the province.

He's two-for-two now. I think his leadership and being able to get off to an early start like that has helped the other players to feed a little bit off of his momentum. He's very consistent and has improved even more this year.
