More quotes by Bill Walsh
I've observed that if individuals who prevail in a highly competitive environment have any one thing in common besides success, it is failure—and their ability to overcome it.
Bill Walsh
The culture precedes positive results. It doesn't get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand. Champions behave like champions before they're champions: they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners.
Bill Walsh
Everybody's got an opinion. Leaders are paid to make a decision. The difference between offering an opinion and making a decision is the difference between working for the leader and being the leader.

Champions behave like champions before they are champions

For me the starting point for everything - before strategy, tactics, theories, managing, organizing, philosophy, methodology, talent, or experience - is work ethic. Without one of significant magnitude, you're dead in the water.

If you see players who hate practice, their coach isn't doing a very good job.
Bill Walsh
Your enthusiasm becomes their enthusiasm your lukewarm presentation becomes their lukewarm interest in what you're offering.

Machines aren't replacing proofreaders at all. Copy editors, who proofread and much, much more, use spellcheck as a tool but read every word that appears in the paper
Bill Walsh
Innovation involves anticipation. It is having a broad base of knowledge on your subject and an ability to see where the end game is headed. Use all your knowledge to get their first. Set the trend and make the competition counter you
Bill Walsh
A harsh reality of newspaper editing is that the deadlines don't allow for the polish that you expect in books or even magazines
Bill Walsh
Flying by the seat of your pants precedes crashing by the seat of your pants.
Bill Walsh
The ability to help the people around me self-actualize their goals underlines the single aspect of my abilities and the label that I value most—teacher.
Bill Walsh
The dash helps to indicate that the two thoughts are intimately related, and it's less stodgy than a semicolon, which would have performed the same function (and who talks in semicolons?).
Bill Walsh
Consistent motivation usually comes from a consuming desire to be able to perform at your best under pressure, namely, the pressure produced by tough competition. If a player needed me to light a fire under him by turning the other team into a demon, he was lacking something I couldn't give him.
