Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.
Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.
Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.
Offensively, you do what you do best and you do it again and again. Defensively, you attack your opponent's strength.
Regardless of what you do put in, every game boils down to doing the things you do best and doing them over and over again.
Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity.
If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.
Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.
They call it coaching but it is teaching. You do not just tell them...you show them the reasons.
I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about.
If a man is running down the street with everything you own, you won't let him get away. That's tackling.
