fighting winning you-can-win
Before you can win the fight, You’ve got to be in the fight.
athlete winning order
One of the common traits of outstanding performers-coaches, athletes, managers, sales representatives, executives, and others who face a daily up/down, win/lose accounting system-is that a rejection, that is, defeat, is quickly forgotten, replaced eagerly by pursuit of a new order, client, or opponent.
winning self punishment
When you stand and overcome a significant setback, you'll find an increasing inner confidence and self-assurance that has been created by conquering defeat. Absorbing and overcoming this kind of punishment engenders a sober, steely toughness that results in a hardened sense of independence and a personal belief that you can take on anything, survive and win.
winning champion victory
The culture precedes positive results. It doesn't get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand. Champions behave like champions before they're champions: they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners.
coach coaches corps developed football head james jim top trappings win
I know he has only one thought in mind, and that is to win football games. Some of the other trappings of being a head coach are just not important to him and I would think that's what they need. That's the way Don James was and the way Jim Owens was. They were top football coaches who developed an esprit de corps and a sense of purpose, and that's what counts.

Notre Dame is very difficult because the expectations and the impatience of the alums is overwhelming, ... They want it to be like it once was and I'm not sure it ever will be.

The running game in pro football has gotten so boring. There's just four or five plays they can run. I think the whole thing is headed in the wrong direction, and it's really unfortunate.
brady directly further game involved knows stimulate suspect top works
Brady is at the top of his game now. He knows what works and what doesn't work. I suspect he'll be more directly involved in what they do, and this will even further stimulate him.

The thing you don't want to do is use him too much against some sturdy run defense,
career easy everybody following francisco highly job joe knows man mayor quite regarded san says steve
I've always thought Steve could be mayor of San Francisco without too much of a fight. That's just the kind of man he is, and how highly he's regarded in that town. Everybody knows he didn't have an easy job following Joe Montana. The way he did it says all you need to know about him, and then he made quite a career for himself, too.
balance defense england near stand super
Could New England stand up to the Steelers defense of the '70s? No chance. And I don't think they had near the balance the 49ers had during (the Super Bowl) years.

eight help last maybe seven year
Don't look at his last game, or the one before that, or before that. Go back seven or eight games, or maybe a year or two, if you want to try to see tendencies, and even that won't help you.
