The Lombardi Way

Various quotes from the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame Football Coach

  • The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.
  • A real executive goes around with a worried look on his assistants.
  • Football isn't a contact sport. It's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.
  • Winning is not a sometime thing -- it's an all time thing.
  • You don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time.
  • You can do it if you have singleness of purpose and discipline.
  • The woods are full of performers-we want champions.
  • If two teams are the same in physical ability and mental ability, it's the team with pride that wins.
  • The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.
  • Mental toughness means dedication, total commitment, and pride.
  • I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory and that is what life is all about.
  • I think that a boy with talent has a moral obligation to God to fulfill it.
  • Winning isn't everything-it's the only thing.
  • The only way to reconcile a loss-if I know every man gave everything on every play-and if not- why?
  • Three or four plays decide a ball game, and you never know which ones it will be.
  • There is no substitute for work
  • Teams do not go physically flat, but they go mentally stale.
  • The harder you work, the harder it is to lose.
  • Fatigue makes cowards of us all.
  • Many, many teams take the easy road-champions must take a different route.
  • In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.
  • Mental toughness includes: spartanism, sacrifice, self denial, a state of mind, a perfectly disciplined will, and the refusal to give in to ones self.
  • If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
  • Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence
  • Football is like life, it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
  • If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm
  • The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will.
  • We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.
  • If you can't accept losing, you can't win.
  • Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
  • The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
  • All right Mister, let me tell you what winning means:  you're willing to go longer, work harder, give more than anyone else.
  • The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.
  • Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
