More quotes by Bill Parcells
Confidence is only born out of one thing demonstrated ability. It is not born of anything else. You cannot dream up confidence. You cannot fabricate it. You cannot wish it. You have to accomplish it.
Bill Parcells
We're not playing solitaire out here.
Bill Parcells
Don't tell me about the pain. Show me the baby.
Bill Parcells
You lose with potential. You win with performance.
Bill Parcells
I have always felt like you really don't have a genuine confidence unless you demonstrate the ability to do something. You can talk about it, but you have to demonstrate it.
Bill Parcells
You can't dream up confidence. Confidence is born of demonstrated ability.
Bill Parcells
I love the game. I think it's a great game because you find out a lot about yourself. You test your mettle every week. There's no grey area, there's instant gratification and there are no quarterly reports. We're not just doing a little bit better. You know every Sunday what happened.
Bill Parcells
I just try to do the best job I possibly can - put the blinders on, go to work and be the best you can possibly be. Once you have done everything that you possibly can - you've put forth your greatest effort - then I can live with whatever's next.
Bill Parcells
Anybody who watched football last year knows they're good. But that represents a very good opportunity for us. It really does. I think somehow, if we're able to pull that off, I think it will go a long way for our confidence. I look at it as a great opportunity, and hopefully we'll be at our best when we get there.
Bill Parcells
I've been around enough to know what it takes to get a team to reach its potential, and I want players who want to reach their potential.
Bill Parcells
When I was coaching with the Patriots, the players pulled a practical joke and I said, 'Do you think I'm Charlie the Tuna, like a sucker?' After that, they called me Tuna.
Bill Parcells
All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out.
Bill Parcells
You get too old to lose. When you were a young guy, you bounced back from losses.
Bill Parcells
You ask yourself, 'What do you want your legacy to be?' I'm content at this point to say, 'Those who follow me.' Romeo Crennel, Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, to name a few. I think I've got a pretty good group, so far.
Bill Parcells
I only want my team to play to its potential, as I perceive it to be. I really don't have any regard for anyone else's perception.
Bill Parcells
Losers assemble in small groups & complain, winners assemble as a team & find ways to win.
Bill Parcells
I'm glad we were able to win this last one. I saw some good things tonight, ... It's just preseason, but we ran the ball good. I'm happy about that, and the first-team offense was pretty sharp.
Bill Parcells
Resourceful coaches strive to have more ways to win than the other team.
Bill Parcells
When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know.
Bill Parcells
I'm trying to keep my own house from burning down. I can't worry about someone else's house.
