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

If you can accept losing, you can’t win.

Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is.

Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.

Everyone has a will to win but very few have the will to prepare to win.

Preparedness is the ultimate confidence builder.

The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.

Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent’s pressure, and the temporary failures.

Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.

There is no substitute for work.

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.

Winners never quit and quitters never win.

Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

Don’t succumb to excuses. Go back to the job of making the corrections and forming the habits that will make your goal possible.

You defeat defeatism with confidence.

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.

If you even dream of beating me you’d better wake up and apologize.

The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can’t let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

If you can’t beat them, arrange to have them beaten.

That’s the way you feel when you’re beaten inside. You don’t feel angry at those who’ve beaten you. You just feel ashamed.

Continued innovation is the best way to beat the competition.

Behind the mask of ice that people wear, there beats a heart of fire.
