More quotes by Vince Lombardi
We shall play every game to the hilt with every ounce of fiber we have in our bodies.
Vince Lombardi
The challenge of every team is to build a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another because the question is usually not how well each person performs, but how well they work together.
Vince Lombardi
Offensively, you do what you do best and you do it again and again. Defensively, you attack your opponent's strength.
Vince Lombardi
I've never known a man worth his salt who, in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline
Vince Lombardi
You never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you. The score on the board doesn't mean a thing. That's for the fans. You've got to win the war with the man in front of you. You've got to get your man.
Vince Lombardi
No one is ever hurt. Hurt is in the mind.
Vince Lombardi

Chuck Noll is building one hell of a football team up in Pittsburgh.
Vince Lombardi
I've been in football all my life, gentlemen, and I don't know whether I'm particularly qualified to be a part of anything else, except I consider it a great game, a game of many assets, by the way, and I think a symbol of what this country's best attributes are: courage and stamina and a coordinated efficiency or teamwork.
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
We know how rough the road will be, how heavy here the load will be, we know about the barricades that wait along the track, but we have set our soul ahead upon a certain goal ahead and nothing left from hell to sky shall ever turn us back.
Vince Lombardi
To me, a leader is a visionary that energizes others. This definition of leadership has two key dimensions: a) creating the vision of the future, and b) inspiring others to make the vision a reality.
Vince Lombardi
In all my years of coaching, I have never been successful using somebody else's play.
Vince Lombardi
The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group. If he does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the consent he must win and the control he must exert.
Vince Lombardi
Some people try to find things in this game that don't exist but football is only two things - blocking and tackling.
Vince Lombardi
The strength of the group is the strength of the leaders.
