We run to win, not just to be in the race.
A disciplined person is one who follows the will of the one who gives the orders.
Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.

Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.
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.
The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group. If he does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the consent he must win and the control he must exert.

At many a moment on many a day, I am convinced that pro football must be a game for madmen, and I must be one of them.
Unless a man believes in himself and makes a total commitment to his career and puts everything he has into it - his mind, his body, his heart - what's life worth to him?
