THOUGHTS AND PHILOSOPHY FROM VINCE LOMBARDI

“Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all-the-time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit.”

“If you settle for nothing less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your life.”

“If you really want something, you can have it if you are willing to pay the price. And the price means that you have to work better and harder than the next guy.”

“The fourth dimension that determines success or failure is selfless teamwork and collective pride, which accumulate until they make positive thinking and victory habitual.”

“It’s usually the best conditioned team which usually wins the game. I’m going to expect a 100 percent effort at all times. Anything less than that is not good enough.”

“Don’t succumb to excuses. Go back to the job of making the corrections and forming the habits that will make your goal possible.”

“No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles. The battles decides all.”

“The difference between a good coach and an average coach is know what you want, and know what the end us supposed to look like.”

“Adversity is the first path to truth. Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is greater.”

“The important thought is that the Packers thrived on tough competition. We welcomed it. The adrenaline flowed a little quicker when we were playing the tougher team.”
