“Don’t tolerate lazy people. They are losers.”

Losing doesn’t make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.

If you are going to be a successful duck hunter, you must go where the ducks are.

A good, quick, small team can beat a big, slow team any time.

I didn’t have a thing to do with picking a coach, and didn’t want to. But I didn’t think they’d pick one I didn’t like.

Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things.

Recruiting is the one thing I hate. I won’t do it unless my coaches tell me I’ve just got to. The whole process is kind of undignified for me and the young man.

I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.

Don’t give up. Reach down inside of you and you’ll find something left.

I ain’t never been nothin but a winner.

I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.

When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover – you can’t do both.

Set goals – high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.

Don’t worry about making friends; don’t worry about making enemies. Worry about winning, because if you win, your enemies can’t hurt you, and if you lose, your friends can’t stand you.

You take those little rascals, talk to them good, pat them on the back, let them think they are good, and they will go out and beat the biguns.

Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.

Don’t give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half.

Social media is where losers go to feel important.

You’ve got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.

The ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight.

I’ve seen far too many people lose their chance, waiting for others to catch up.

Women use lovers as they do cards; they play with them a while, and when they have got all they can by them, throw them away, call for new ones, and then perhaps lose by the new all they got by the old ones.

I don’t go there thinking I’m going to lose. I never go into a tournament thinking that. I’ll do the best that I can. I need to be at my peak and my best is holding up the trophy. Anything less I wouldn’t be really excited about. So that’s all I can focus on.

Always have the situation under control, even if losing. Never betray an inward sense of defeat.

Do you find yourself making excuses when you do not perform? Shed the excuses and face reality. Excuses are the loser’s way out. They will mar your credibility and stunt your personal growth.
