I said, 'You missed practice yesterday didn't you?' The player replied, 'No coach, not a bit.'

The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

The only true satisfaction a player receives is the satisfaction that comes from being part of a successful team, regardless of his personal accomplishments.

Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.

Every time a player goes out to ply his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be Number One in any business. But more important, you've got to play with you heart - with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

Beat your opponent where he is strongest, and you demoralize him.

We shall play every game to the hilt with every ounce of fiber we have in our bodies.
