More quotes by 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
Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity.
Vince Lombardi
They do not truly love who do not show their love.
Vince Lombardi
I said, 'You missed practice yesterday didn't you?' The player replied, 'No coach, not a bit.'
Vince Lombardi
To me, the big thing in being a successful team is repetition of what you're doing, either by word of mouth, blackboard, or specifically by work on the field. You repeat, repeat, repeat as a unit.
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
If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?
Vince Lombardi
Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
Vince Lombardi
Beat your opponent where he is strongest, and you demoralize him.
Vince Lombardi
Illness and fatigue can be career ending. It mean the fans are sick and tired of you.
Vince Lombardi
Winning is not a sometime thing it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Vince Lombardi
No one is ever hurt. Hurt is in the mind.
Vince Lombardi
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
Vince Lombardi
Gentlemen, this is the football.
Vince Lombardi
One's desire, not ability, determines success.
Vince Lombardi
They call it coaching but it is teaching. You do not just tell them...you show them the reasons.
Vince Lombardi
Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it.
Vince Lombardi
In all my years of coaching, I have never been successful using somebody else's play.
Vince Lombardi
Success rests not only on ability, but upon commitment, loyalty, and pride.
Vince Lombardi
A good executive goes around with a worried look on his assistants.
