More quotes by 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
There is no substitute for work.
Vince Lombardi
Chuck Noll is building one hell of a football team up in Pittsburgh.
Vince Lombardi
The will to win... the will to achieve...goes dry and arid without continuous renewal.
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.
Vince Lombardi
You defeat defeatism with confidence.
Vince Lombardi
One's desire, not ability, determines success.
Vince Lombardi
Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent's pressure, and the temporary failures.
Vince Lombardi
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
If you cheat yourself in practice, you'll cheat yourself in a game and if you cheat in a game, you'll cheat yourself for the rest of your life.
Vince Lombardi
Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.
Vince Lombardi
The best game plan in the world never blocked or tackled anybody.
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
Football isn't a contact sport it's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.
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
Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good.
Vince Lombardi
If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.
Vince Lombardi
While statistics are interesting, they're all in the past.
Vince Lombardi
Brains without competitive hearts are rudderless.
Vince Lombardi
One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be the dominating thought in one's mind.
