orlando pace | Best advice you ever got.
Begin with the end in mind. Whatever you might do in life, continue to think about the end game. One thing I’m learning about post-career that I wished I learned earlier is the value of building relationships. When athletes are playing the game, we’re in a bubble. We don’t allow a lot of people in our circle. In hindsight, so much of the world is about relationships.

What piece of advice would you pass on to young coaches?
Be the best at where you’re at. There are so many coaches that are trying to get ahead. Be a difference maker on a daily basis and let that be your driving force. The rest will come.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
It’s OK to be a little selfish sometimes. I tend to pour myself into whatever commitment I make. I leave very little time for myself and spread myself a little thin. My mentor told me I needed to find time to disconnect from work and make sure I am OK. You’re no good to anyone if you’re not taking care of your physical and mental health.

When it comes to your career, what is the best advice you can give?
Say yes to everything until someone gives you a reason to say no. I’ve mentored a lot of young journalists who get offers for radio, but they think they should turn it down because they want to do TV. Do the radio gig. It’s experience, it pads your resume, and it will get you in more doors.

What advice did your father give you that you have tried to pass on to your kids?
My father always said in business, all you have is the value of your name. Should you do anything to tarnish that name, it may hurt you, but it will hurt your legacy more. That lives with me every single day. I don’t think so much about what I am achieving as I do my legacy and how it may affect my grandchildren.
