I never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions.
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
Don't ever promise more than you can deliver, but always deliver more than you promise.
Teamwork is the foundation of success. The three universal questions that an individual asks of his coach, player, employee, employer are: Can I trust you? Are you committed to excellence? And, do you care about me?
Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they're making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that's the difference.
Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God's word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin - and it's gonna happen - confession puts us back on the field.
If you're bored with life - you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don't have enough goals.
Don't tell your problems to people: eighty percent don't care; and the other twenty percent are glad you have them.
Those who know Notre Dame, no explanation’s necessary. Those who don’t, no explanation will suffice.
Everyone wants to win on Saturday afternoon when the game is played. It’s what you do the other six days that decides the outcome
It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.
I asked you to pack your headgear and shoulder pads, but more importantly your defense and your kicking game, because that's what wins game like this.
You must have dreams and goals if you are ever going to achieve anything in this world.
Remember. Every day, some ordinary person does something extraordinary. Today, it's your turn.
