COACH MEYER ON LOYALTY: "It must be demonstrated; you can't buy loyalty by paying people more than their worth. You buy loyalty by being a stand up guy. It must also be understood that loyalty is a two way street."Nearly 15 years ago I wrote a book, The Art of Being An Assistant Coach. I sent surveys out to over 100 coaches to rate the characteristics of a good assistant. The landslide winner was loyalty.
Vince Lombardi called loyalty, "the greatest love of all." General George S. Patton said he'd "rather have a loyal soldier than a brilliant one."
