Am bekanntesten ist er als Cheftrainer der Green Bay Packers in den 1960er Jahren, wo er das Team in sieben Jahren zu drei Meisterschaften in Folge und insgesamt fünf NFL-Meisterschaften führte. Außerdem gewann er die ersten beiden Super Bowls am Ende der NFL-Saisons 1966 und 1967. |
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent's pressure, and the temporary failures.
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.
The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
