Football is like life. It requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, and respect for authority.
Joe Paterno
It's not the will to win that matters—everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.
Bobby Knight
In football, the ball is always the best mirror.
Johan Cruyff
Football is not about one or two or three star players. It's about 11 guys accepting responsibility.
Marcelo Bielsa
The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking.
Mia Hamm
Football is a simple game. But sometimes, making simple things is the hardest thing.
You can't make a great play unless you do it first in practice.
Those who can't play, teach.
Babe Ruth
In tennis, you're on an island. Of all the games men and women play, tennis is the closest to solitary confinement.
Andre Agassi
Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.
If you don't practice you don't deserve to win.
I am not a dictator. I am a coach. The player should understand that I am helping him win.
Arsene Wenger
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.
Phil Jackson
Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.
The only way to win is as a team. Football is not about one or two or three star players.
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.
The quality of a man's life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence, regardless of his chosen field of endeavor.
Vince Lombardi
Football is a game played with the brain. You have to be in the right place at the right time, not too early, not too late.
