Success is not forever
and failure isn’t fatal.
Donald Francis “Don” Shula
The freak fallacy is
that the game is
first and last about winning.
It’s nothing of the kind.
The game
is about glory.
It’s about
doing things in style,
with a flourish,
about going out
and beating the other lot,
not waiting for them
to die of boredom.
Robert Dennis “Danny” Blanchflower
People want success.
It’s like coffee,
they want instant.
Sir Robert William “Bobby” Robson
Players lose you games,
not tactics.
There’s so much crap
talked about tactics
by people
who barely know
how to win at dominoes.
Brian Howard Clough,
reflecting on England’s exit from Euro 2000
Without self-discipline,
success is impossible,
period.
Louis Leo “Lou” Holtz
and active sportscaster, author, and motivational speaker)
The more difficult
the victory,
the greater the happiness
in winning.

Only true champions come out
and show their worth
after defeat,
and I expect us
to do that.
Sir Alexander Chapman “Alex” Ferguson
who managed Manchester United from 1986 to 2013)
Confidence
doesn’t come out of nowhere.
It’s a result of something…
hours and days
and weeks and years
of constant work
and dedication.
Roger Thomas Staubach
When you win,
nothing hurts.
Joseph William “Joe” Namath

It is not the strong one
that wins,
the one that wins
is strong.
