Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur
Old soldiers never die they just fade away.
Douglas MacArthur
Apart from an innate grasp of tactical concepts, a great coach must possess the essentials attributes of leadership which mold men into a cohesive, fighting team with an invincible will to victory.
Douglas MacArthur
