He did it for players. He made us see higher visions of greatness in ourselves than we had ever seen before. - Jeff Kemp

As a coach, I pray to be so lucky as to have a player one day remember me with a comment like the ones above. Be sure to watch Joe Montana’s moving eulogy.
The players’ comments above remind me the root meaning of the word “coach” – a means of conveyance, a vehicle that transports a person from one place to another. Walsh understood that his job was to take players from their current place to the outer limits of their potential. This concept came up over and over again from his players – many of them talked about Coach Walsh’s belief in them exceeding their own belief in themselves.
