Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.

Mental toughness is a state of mind - you could call it 'character in action.'

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

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.

While statistics are interesting, they're all in the past.

Teams do not go physically flat, they go mentally stale.

To play this game (football) you must have fire in you, and there is nothing that strokes fire like hate.
