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
I said, 'You missed practice yesterday didn't you?' The player replied, 'No coach, not a bit.'
Vince Lombardi
A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.
Vince Lombardi
We win our games in practice. We learn and follow the fundamentals of our game better than anyone in the league. All of our games are won in practice.
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
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
Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is.
Vince Lombardi
If you can accept losing, you can't win.
Vince Lombardi
To play this game (football) you must have fire in you, and there is nothing that strokes fire like hate.
Vince Lombardi
I derived my strength from daily mass and communion.
Vince Lombardi
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.
Vince Lombardi
You've got to keep yourself in prime physical condition, because fatigue makes cowards of us all.
Vince Lombardi
We shall play every game to the hilt with every ounce of fiber we have in our bodies.
Vince Lombardi
In a game like football, where you have very little time to decide what you are going to do, you have to react almost instinctively, naturally.
Vince Lombardi
They may not love you at the time, but they will later.
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
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
Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
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
Regardless of what you do put in, every game boils down to doing the things you do best and doing them over and over again.
Vince Lombardi
