Quotes From The CSTV Nike Training Camp program on Anson Dorrance:

Anson Dorrance

"Our philosophy is try to bring in the most elite players we can and develop them to their maximum extent. So we like to feel that we're like a breeding ground for the U.S. Women's National Team and our primary mission here is actually player development."

Dorrance

"One of your challenges in coaching at an elite level is to get the athletes to accept that, if they really want to attain that potential, it's an uncomfortable ride. Being extraordinary is not comfortable. It's doing stuff on your own. It's doing stuff that is unbelievably difficult and that's what sets the elite athlete apart."

Dorrance

"Athletics doesn't so much develop character as expose it. I mean, how are you going to react to the adversities of the game? And the challenges of the athletic experience? We think that's the way we hold and form character...is by helping guide these kids through these very emotionally charged years and the challenge of competing in a top level program where the expectation is absolutely over the top, and the demands are similarly very high."

Jordan Walker, Senior Midfielder (Richardson, Tx.)

"One of our goals is...we want the (opposing) team to leave the field and...let them know that they couldn't hang. And so that's what we call 'Breaking the Team.'"

Anne Felts, Junior Midfielder (Rolla, Mo.) "Basically, we want to...break the opponent by just going after them, and basically we want to give them the sense that they're not going to have a chance of winning at all, that they have no hope in winning. We want to go out there and break teams every day. It's not mean spirited. We want to win. Everybody wants to win, except we want to win more than anyone else."

Dorrance

"We like to feel that if we're doing the right things, this environment is testing them and perhaps preparing them for the real world and there is a lot of emotionally charged issues in playing athletics. Whether or not you play, how you deal with whether or not you play. There's a victory in how you handle that. There's defeat in how you handle that. How you bounce back from injury. There's so many wonderful life issues involved in a sport."

Dorrance

"One thing that's critical for us at UNC is to develop personalities in the field. What that means is you want the kind of kid that says 'give me the ball; get the heck out of my way. I'm going to take over this game.' We want that athlete to come here and we will design an attack around them. We want someone to take the game over and make a difference."

Dorrance

"The way we look at athletics at the University of North Carolina is, we are the front porch for the university. We are what people see. We are a very public part of the university. The primary mission of this university is the pursuit and development of the academic potential for the students that come to this place and we're just a part of that climate. The way I'm looked at on campus is hopefully as a teacher."
