“Coach Lombardi showed me that by working hard and using my mind, I could overcome my weakness to the point where I could be one of the best.”

A person can’t brood over one mistake, or waste time feeling sorry for himself, or take on any sort of persecution complex.

My dad never pushed me but the big thing is that he helped me by going out in the backyard and playing with me.

Today I realize that once you have made a mistake, you must accept it, profit by it, and then totally dismiss it from your mind.

It takes me about a week and a half to really analyze a game – play by play.

Anyone can support a team that is winning – it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage.

Athletic competition clearly defines the unique power of our attitude.

Desire and dedication are everything!

If you work harder than somebody else, chances are you’ll beat him though he has more talent than you.
