The strength of the group is the strength of the leaders.

Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

To the winner, there is 100-percent elation, 100-percent fun, 100-percent laughter; and yet the only thing left to the loser is resolution and determination.

Leadership rests not only on outstanding ability. It also rests on commitment, loyalty and pride. It rests on followers who are ready to accept guidance. Leadership is the ability to direct people and - more important - to have those people accept that direction.

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

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. That's the essence of it.

Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character.
