Vince Lombardi quotes about
Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.
Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever - the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
Fatigue makes cowards of us all.
Choose to achieve perfection. We won't achieve it because perfection is impossible. But by pursuing perfection, we will achieve excellence.
Mental toughness is many things and rather difficult to explain. Its qualities are sacrifice and self-denial. Also, most importantly, it is combined with a perfectly disciplined will that refuses to give in. It's a state of mind-you could call it character in action.
The challenge of every team is to build a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another because the question is usually not how well each person performs, but how well they work together.
Beat your opponent where he is strongest, and you demoralize him.
You carry on no matter what are the obstacles. You simply refuse to give up - and, when the going gets tough, you get tougher. And, you win.
A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.
All right mister, let me tell you that winning means you're willing to go longer, work harder, give more than anyone else.
