”Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right.”- Henry Ford

Very true. When the indivisual players believes in himself the team believes in each other and if they think they can they will achieve.
 It only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch. Meaning, one person can drag a team to the bottom.

I really like this quote because it goes back to the old cliché that no man is an island. We must work together to be successful no matter what you are trying to do.

Great way to emphasize nobody is more important than the team.

“In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.” Paul Bear Bryant

I like this quote especially because it emphasizes the idea that one playing a team sport my think first of the team. For years I have told my teams that once they can “sacrifice a good part of “me” to be a part of something bigger, the TEAM is unstoppable”.

This quote is so powerful because it is also so simple. Ray Lewis is essentially saying to us that we all have goals and dreams and whatever they may be we should muster the courage to go after them, to go and do whatever it is we truly want to do. Not to allow other people to tell us that we can’t, or let circumstances and situations dictate to us what we truly want to do.

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

― Christopher McDougall

In order to promote fitness, you have to live it! The days of the PE teacher sitting down and being out of shape are long gone! Get moving!
