Second place is first loser.

"Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship with yourself, your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didnt let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is you did everything you could. There wasnt one more thing you could've done. Can you live in that moment as best you can, with clear eyes, and love in your heart, with joy in your heart? If you can do that gentleman - you're perfect!" Coach Gary Gaines (Friday Night Lights)

[DarkStar50 679]

Winning isn't everything, but making the all-out effort to win is the most important thing.

I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory and that is what life is all about.

Success is not a sometimes thing. In other words, you don't do what is right once in a while, but all the time. Success is a habit. Winning is a habit.

All from the greatest football coach of all time: Vince Lombardi

If you are not playing well you are not going to play. That's the bottom line. The players are responsible for themselves and the reward or punishment is going to be whether they play or not. It's just that simple.

Pat Burns
