There is something good in men that really yearn for discipline.

Relentlessly pursue perfection knowing we won't catch it, but in the process we'll achieve excellence.

Mental toughness is many things and rather difficult to explain. Its qualities are sacrifice and self-denial. Also, most importantly, it is combined with a perfectly disciplined will that refuses to give in. It's a state of mind-you could call it character in action.

Football is and always will be a game of blocking and hitting

It is and has always been an American zeal to be first in everything we do, and to win.

Second place is meaningless. You can't always be first, but you have to believe that you should have been - that you were never beaten - that time just ran out on you.

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