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
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

Bill Parcells

Bill Parcells
Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It's one thing to hate failure, it's another to fear it.
Bill Parcells
If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.
Bill Parcells
Potential means you haven't done anything yet.
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
I think he's got good potential, but he needs a lot of work.
Bill Parcells
The thing I really look for in this business is there are guys who are into football and there are guys who are in the profession for other reasons.
Bill Parcells
I'm a little superstitious.
Bill Parcells
The quarterback is in charge of the chuck wagon. He's handing it out here and there, but he can't just throw it out there indiscriminately or the wolves will get him.
