More quotes by Vince Lombardi
Football is blocking and tackling. Everything else is mythology.
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
In order to succeed, this group will need a singleness of purpose, they will need a dedication, and they will have to convince all of their prospects of the willingness to sacrifice.
Vince Lombardi
If you don't think you're a winner, you don't belong here.
Vince Lombardi
The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.
Vince Lombardi
I don't necessarily have to like my players and associates but as their leader I must love them. Love is loyalty, love is teamwork, love respects the dignity of the individual. This is the strength of any organization.
Vince Lombardi
Leaders are made, they are not born
Vince Lombardi
There is only one kind of discipline, and that is the perfect discipline. As a leader, you must enforce and maintain that discipline otherwise, you will fail at your job.
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
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Vince Lombardi
Mental toughness is many things. It is humility because it behooves all of us to remember that simplicity is the sign of greatness and meekness is the sign of true strength. Mental toughness is spartanism with qualities of sacrifice, self-denial, dedication. It is fearlessness, and it is love.
Vince Lombardi
Many more things would be accomplished if we didn't consider them impossible.
Vince Lombardi
Winning is not the most important thing it's everything.
Vince Lombardi
Football isn't a contact sport it's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.
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
It does not matter how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get up.
Vince Lombardi
Inches make a champion.
Vince Lombardi
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Every job is a self portrait of the person who did it ... Autograph your work with excellence.
Vince Lombardi
Praise in public criticize in private.
Vince Lombardi
Leadership rests not only on outstanding ability. It also rests on commitment, loyalty and pride. It rests on followers who are ready to accept guidance. Leadership is the ability to direct people and - more important - to have those people accept that direction.
Vince Lombardi
