“Organizations go through change.” — Mike Budenholzer Quote

Organizations go through change.

I would have never ever dreamed of my career playing out the way it did.

You have to have guys that will compete every night, every possession.

My mom, raising seven children, was such a steady and firm influence. You did not mess around with my mom. Nobody in the neighborhood or whole town did. She had that steadiness and firmness but love at the same time.

There's no doubt that having some guys on the bench that have been through things, and that are older and experienced, understand not just the highs but the lows of losing a game. Winning and keeping a steadiness throughout a game, their voice in timeouts, it's really valuable.

When we grew up, we had YMCAs. Organizations and places where kids went to play.

I'm willing to run through a wall for my teammates, for organizations that I play for. So whatever is asked of me, I try to do.

Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led.

I wish MMA was like boxing with fighters from different organizations being able to fight each other. It would be more interesting for the sport, the sport would grow more, everyone would be able to fight everyone.

I've been very fortunate throughout my career to fight for the best organizations in the world.
