Resourceful coaches strive to have more ways to win than the other team.

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.

You can't dream up confidence. Confidence is born of demonstrated ability.
Bill Parcells
Image
In the end, I've found, people like the direct approach. It's much more valuable to them to have a leader who's absolutely clear and open than to have one who soft-soaps or talks in circles.

You lose with potential. You win with performance.

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.

I don't look at a problem and put variables in there that don't affect it.
Bill Parcells
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

I got more money than I can spend now.

Losers assemble in small groups & complain, winners assemble as a team & find ways to win.

By and large, I've been healthy all my life.
Bill Parcells
Image
I talked to the team a lot about staying power. You never find out if you have that until you've been beaten down a few times.
Bill Parcells
Image
You can easily separate 'team guys' from 'me guys' by how they accept coaching. The guys that accept it are about winning
