More quotes by Vince Lombardi
If you can't get emotional about what you believe in your heart, you're in the wrong business.
Vince Lombardi
Second place is meaningless. You can't always be first, but you have to believe that you should have been - that you were never beaten - that time just ran out on you.
Vince Lombardi
They may not love you at the time, but they will later.
Vince Lombardi
Winning isn't everything, but striving to win is.
Vince Lombardi
I would say that the quality of each man's life is the full measure of that man's commitment of excellence and victory - whether it be football, whether it be business, whether it be politics or government or what have you.
Vince Lombardi
Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Vince Lombardi
If you don't think you're a winner, you don't belong here.
Vince Lombardi
People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.
Vince Lombardi
The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.
Vince Lombardi
To me, the big thing in being a successful team is repetition of what you're doing, either by word of mouth, blackboard, or specifically by work on the field. You repeat, repeat, repeat as a unit.
Vince Lombardi
The only true satisfaction a player receives is the satisfaction that comes from being part of a successful team, regardless of his personal accomplishments.
Vince Lombardi
In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail.
Vince Lombardi
Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.
Vince Lombardi
I don't necessarily have to like my players and associates but as their leader I must love them. Love is loyalty, love is teamwork, love respects the dignity of the individual. This is the strength of any organization.
Vince Lombardi
It is and has always been an American zeal to be first in everything we do, and to win.
Vince Lombardi
I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about.
Vince Lombardi
They call it coaching but it is teaching. You do not just tell them...you show them the reasons.
Vince Lombardi
If you really want something , you can have it if you're willing to pay the price. And the price means you have to work better and harder than the next guy.
Vince Lombardi
A leader must identify himself with the group, must back up the group, even at the risk of displeasing superiors. He must believe that the group wants from him a sense of approval. If this feeling prevails, production, discipline, morale will be high, and in return, you can demand the cooperation to promote the goals of the community.
Vince Lombardi
The joy is in creating, not maintaining.
Vince Lombardi
