It's not human nature to be great. It's human nature to survive, to be average and do what you have to do to get by. That is normal. When you have something good happen, it's the special people that can stay focused and keep paying attention to detail, working to get better and not being satisfied with what they have accomplished.

I asked my priest if it was a sin to play golf on Sunday. And he said, "It's a sin for you to play anytime."

When you play against good people, that's when you focus your concentration. Your sense of urgency to be disciplined in your execution all become more critical. Sometimes you get away with doing things not quite right against lesser competition, but when you play against real good people that's when it shows up.

The more one emphasizes winning, the less he or she is able to concentrate on what actually causes success.

Becoming a champion is not an easy process... It is done by focusing on what it takes to get there and not on getting there.

In the NFL you get one first-round draft pick if you're lucky. You couldn't really outwork anybody else. In college I could recruit ten players with first-round talent every year.

I don’t care what you did yesterday. If you’re happy with that, you have bigger problems.
