How you recover from what life's throwing at you is what matters.

I think I could have become an outstanding professional baseball player, but I don't think I could have reached the heights that I have in football - being one of the very top players in the game, being a world champion.

To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't know where he is going.

None of the body was designed to play football. Excuse me, you know, football, we're just not designed for.

As a football coach, everything in your life comes after your football schedule. I just could not make that commitment.

If you aren't going all the way, why go at all?

You learn how to be a gracious winner and an outstanding loser.
