It Took Me A While To Realize

I Just Wanted To Be An Athlete.

I Was Captain And Should Have Set The Example. I Would Lift A Minimum Of Weights. Mine Was Natural Physical Strength. I Always Thought Quickness And Agility Were Much More Important.

I Do Not Believe That There Is Any Secret Or Single Formula For Success, But There Are Common Threads Of Thought And Action That Characterize The Successful People That I Have Been Fortunate Enough To Know And Observe. I Do Know, From My Own Experience, That Our Chance Of Succeeding Is Much Greater When We Organize And Take Charge Of Our Lives. When We Are Willing To Make Decisions, We Aggressively Pursue Those Things In Life That Are Important To Us.

You Can Take The Best Team And The Worst Team And Line Them Up And You Would Find Very Little Physical Difference. You Would Find An Emotional Difference. The Wining Team Has A Dedication. It Will Have A Core Group Of Veteran Players Who Set The Standards. They Will Not Accept Defeat.

Football Linemen Are Motivated By A More Complicated, Self-determining Series Of Factors Than The Simple Fear Of Humiliation In The Public Gaze, Which Is The Emotion That Galvanizes The Backs And Receivers.
