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.

Vince Lombardi

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 coaches who win are the ones who can motivate their players. Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.
Vince Lombardi
Greatness is not attainable, but in the pursuit of it, you can achieve excellence.
Vince Lombardi
Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
