from Pierre De Coubertin
"The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part; the important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. To spread these precepts is to build up a stronger and more valiant and, above all, more scrupulous and more generous humanity."


from Steve Garvey
“You have to set the goals that are almost out of reach.  If you set a goal that is attainable without much work or thought, you are stuck with something below your true talent and potential."


from Chris Evert (Tennis Player)

“If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that’s a big accomplishment.”


from Lou Holtz

"How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser."


from Mark Twain

"Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest."


from Babe Ruth

"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."


from Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant

It’s not the will to win that matters – everyone has that.  It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.


From Frank Layden (NBA coach)
"When I was coaching, the one thought that I would try to get across to my players was that everything I do each day, everything I say, I must first think what effect it will have on everyone concerned."
