Coach Lombardi showed me that by working hard and using my mind, I could overcome my weakness to the point where I could be one of the best.
It takes me about a week and a half to really analyze a game - play by play.
If you work harder than somebody else, chances are you'll beat him though he has more talent than you.
My dad never pushed me but the big thing is that he helped me by going out in the backyard and playing with me.
Athletic competition clearly defines the unique power of our attitude.
A person can't brood over one mistake, or waste time feeling sorry for himself, or take on any sort of persecution complex. Today I realize that once you have made a mistake, you must accept it, profit by it, and then totally dismiss it from your mind.

We, all of us, could do a much better job of evoking what someone has called the universal principle of human altruism: the urge in us all to help others who are in danger.
