"I always won in my imagination. I always hit the game-winning shot, or I hit the free throw. Or if I missed, there was a lane violation, and I was given another one." - Mike Krzyzewski

"Imagination has a great deal to do with winning. Why would you not achieve really neat things in your imagination?

Coach Mike Krzyzewski's thoughts about imagination.

So in all these games that I would fantasize, I always won, and I always played well.


Therefore, as a player, as a coach, even though we might have lost in a season or not won a championship, it was like a self-fulfilling prophecy that I'm going to win some time.

I believe wholeheartedly that came about because of imagination when I was younger" --Mike Krzyzewski
