The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual. People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society. Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince.

The objective is to win: fairly, squarely, decently, win by the rules, but still win.
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.

If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.
