“Character is the direct result of mental attitude.”

You defeat defeatism with confidence.

Beat your opponent where he is strongest, and you demoralize him.

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.

I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about.

The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.

We didn’t lose the game; we just ran out of time.

It is essential to understand that battles are primarily won in the hearts of men. Men respond to leadership in a most remarkable way and once you have won his heart, he will follow you anywhere.

Football isn’t a contact sport; it’s a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.

One must not hesitate to innovate and change with the times. The leader who stands still is not progressing, and he will not remain a leader for long.

They do not truly love who do not show their love.

I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious.

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Some need a whip and others a pat on the back and others are better off when they are ignored.

The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group.

The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It’s your mind you have to convince.
