Jim Abbott
In the 8th inning you can't hear the roar of the 9th, all you can do to hold yourself together, and trust.
Dick Vermeil
If you don't invest very much, then defeat doesn't hurt very much and winning is not very exciting.
Vince Lombardi
The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.

The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
Tommy Lasorda
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.
John Wooden
Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
 Jim Abbott
It's not the disability that defines you, it's how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with. We have an obligation to the abilities we DO have, not the disability.
Vince Lombardi
It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get back up.
Bruce Jenner, Olympic Gold Medalist, Decathlon
I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win--if you don't, you won't.
Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant
Don't give up at half-time. Concentrate on winning the second half.
Pat Riley
There are only two options regarding commitment; you're either in or you're out. There's no such thing as life in-between.
Jim Abbott
In the 8th inning you can't hear the roar of the 9th. All you can do to hold yourself together, and trust.
John Wooden
Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Venus Williams
Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do...but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.
John Wooden
The most important key to achieving great success is to decide upon your goal and launch, get started, take action, move.
Bill Shankly
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
Muhammad Ali
The man who has no imagination has no wings.
Vince Lombardi
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. --
Evander Holyfield
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
Mike Singletary
Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.
Lou Holtz
Coaching is nothing more than eliminating mistakes before you get fired.
Katarina Witt
When I go our on the ice, I just think about my skating. I forget it is a competition.
Seve Ballesteros
To give yourself the best possible chance of playing to your potential, you must prepare for every eventuality. That means practice.
Gordie Howe
You find that you have peace of mind and can enjoy yourself, get more sleep, rest when you know that it was a one hundred percent effort that you gave - win or lose.
Arnold Palmer
I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Babe Didrikson Zaharias
Luck? Sure. But only after long practice and only with the ability to think under pressure.
Jim Abbott
People will tell you that I overcame obstacles? Maybe. But the truth is I was incredibly blessed in my life. More was given than was ever taken away.
