Anson Dorrance Q&A, part two: On coaching the national team and World Cup predictions

Posted Jun 16, 2019
Anson Dorrance: "To be excellent in anything is actually mundane. It’s basically about grinding. It’s about putting more quality time into that exercise, or that discipline, than anyone else. And that’s the way you become extraordinary. So it’s a question of commitment, time, intensity, and focus. It’s not a trick. There’s nothing complex about excellence." (Daily Tar Heel)
