How great would it be if you could get the top five coaches of all time to personally coach you? What would they say?
Well, today is your lucky day! Here are quotes from:
The Sporting News Top 5 Coaches of All Time
#1. John Wooden, college basketball
“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”
#2. Vince Lombardi, NFL
“Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in being just good.” (locker room speech as quoted by Bart Starr)
#3. Bear Bryant, college football
I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude. The coaches must have it. The players must have it. The student body must have it. If you have dedicated players who believe in themselves, you don’t need a lot of talent.
#4. Phil Jackson, NBA
In basketball — as in life — true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way.
#5. Don Shula, NFL
The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others.
