A leader must identify himself with the group, must back up the group, even at the risk of displeasing superiors. He must believe that the group wants from him a sense of approval. If this feeling prevails, production, discipline, morale will be high, and in return, you can demand the cooperation to promote the goals of the community.

At many a moment on many a day, I am convinced that pro football must be a game for madmen, and I must be one of them.

If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.

The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.

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

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

To me, the big thing in being a successful team is repetition of what you're doing, either by word of mouth, blackboard, or specifically by work on the field. You repeat, repeat, repeat as a unit.
