More quotes by 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
Winning is not a sometime thing it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Vince Lombardi
Leadership is not just one quality, but rather a blend of many qualities and while no one individual possesses all of the needed talents that go into leadership, each man can develop a combination to make him a leader.
Vince Lombardi
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
Vince Lombardi
The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.
Vince Lombardi
winning is not everything it is the only thing
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
You carry on no matter what are the obstacles. You simply refuse to give up - and, when the going gets tough, you get tougher. And, you win.
Vince Lombardi
And the trouble with me is that my ego just can't accept a loss. I suppose that if I were more perfectly adjusted, I would toss off defeat, but my name is on this ball club. Thirty-six men publicly reflect me and reflect on me, and it's a matter of my pride.
Vince Lombardi
Inches make champions.
Vince Lombardi
To be successful, a man must exert an effective influence upon his brothers and upon his associates, and the degree in which he accomplishes this depends on the personality of the man. The incandescence of which he is capable. The flame of fire that burns inside of him. The magnetism which draws the heart of other men to him.
Vince Lombardi
The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.
Vince Lombardi
Fatigue makes cowards of us all.
Vince Lombardi
It is and has always been an American zeal to be first in everything we do, and to win.
Vince Lombardi
[Football is] a game that requires the constant conjuring of animosity.
Vince Lombardi
The coaches who win are the ones who can motivate their players. Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.
Vince Lombardi
The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
Vince Lombardi
Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization.
Vince Lombardi
Mental toughness is many things and rather difficult to explain. Its qualities are sacrifice and self-denial. Also, most importantly, it is combined with a perfectly disciplined will that refuses to give in. It's a state of mind-you could call it character in action.
Vince Lombardi
If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.
