Talent

Now matter how talented you are. Your talent is going to fail you if you are not skilled.  If you don't study, work hard, and dedicate yourself to be better every single day you will never realize your true potential.....and that would be a shame.

Lombardi: On Sacrifice/Success

Hello Everyone,
Every once in a while I like to share with you all Vince Lombardi's philosophy on life and sports and how they both relate.  I feel that all of us athletes, parents, and coaches can really learn how Lombardi influenced so many people, especially his players.  He's is a true leader and remains legendary in our American history.  Here is his philosophy on success/sacrifice.

Success/Sacrifice

"Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.  To achieve success, whatever the job we have, we must pay a price.
Success is like anything worthwhile.  It has a price.  You have to pay the price to win and you have to pay the price to get to the point where success is possible.  Most important you must pay the price to stay there.
Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponents pressure, and the temporary failures.  A person can be as great as he/she wants to be.  If you believe in yourself and have the courage, determination, the dedication, the competitive drive, and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done."
