“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.

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.

My will is mine, I shall not make it soft for you.

Peace is not the absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition of benevolence, confidence, justice.

Self-confidence is the new normal.

People don’t buy your product, they buy your confidence.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

My greatest ambition is to have a career without becoming a career woman.

Confidence is believing in yourself. Arrogance is telling others you ‘re better than they are. Confidence inspires. Arrogance destroys.

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.
