Quotes from Kitch
"People that can emotionally regulate are naturally more trustworthy."
"I still get goosebumps, man. I still get fired up. If I could go back and strap it up one more time, I would. I'd probably get hurt, but I'd do it."
"I want the first person that steps up to say something about me to walk up to that microphone and say, 'Coach left a legacy for his family to be proud of, you know? He inspired greatness and everybody that he came across. He was honest, he was caring, he was driven, and he was committed to growth.' And if somebody says that about me at my funeral, and I'm watching it from beyond the grave, I know that I became the man that I wanted to be. So that's what drives me every single day."
