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

The coaches who win are the ones who can motivate their players. Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.

We know how rough the road will be, how heavy here the load will be, we know about the barricades that wait along the track, but we have set our soul ahead upon a certain goal ahead and nothing left from hell to sky shall ever turn us back.

And the trouble with me is that my ego just can't accept a loss. I suppose that if I were more perfectly adjusted, I would toss off defeat, but my name is on this ball club. Thirty-six men publicly reflect me and reflect on me, and it's a matter of my pride.

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

All right mister, let me tell you that winning means you're willing to go longer, work harder, give more than anyone else.

Mental toughness is Spartanism, with all its qualities of self-denial, sacrifice, dedication, fearlessness, and love.
