Quote

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.

Gentleman, this is a football.

All right mister, let me tell you that winning means you're willing to go longer, work harder, give more than anyone else.
Vince Lombardi

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. Ann Landers It's not whether you get knocked down it's whether you get back up.
Vince Lombardi
Image
A disciplined person is the one who follows the will of the one who gives the orders.
Vince Lombardi
Image
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
Image
We don't pray to win. We pray to play the best we can, and to keep us free from injury. And the prayer we say after the game is one of thanksgiving.
Vince Lombardi
Image
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.

I said, 'You missed practice yesterday didn't you?' The player replied, 'No coach, not a bit.'
Vince Lombardi

I would say that the quality of each man's life is the full measure of that man's commitment of excellence and victory - whether it be football, whether it be business, whether it be politics or government or what have you.
Vince Lombardi
Image
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.

Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.
Vince Lombardi
Image
Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. If you can shrug off a loss, you can never be a winner!
Vince Lombardi
Image
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
Image
A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.
Vince Lombardi
Image
I think you've got to pay the price for anything that's worthwhile, and success is paying the price. You've got to pay the price to win, you've got to pay the price to stay on top, and you 've got to pay the price to get there.
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

To play this game (football) you must have fire in you, and there is nothing that strokes fire like hate.
