Champions

"The culture precedes positive results. It doesn't get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand. Champions behave like champions before they're champions: they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners." -Bill Walsh

Motivation

Motivation is the inner voice speaking, not some outer voice shouting." -Bill Walsh

Comfort Zones

"First comes comfort, then comes complacency." -Bill Walsh
The temptations of comfort are numerous.  We are all designed to take breaks.  To refresh and renew. A great coach knows, however, that these are only for the off-season.  We must always recover, but we must never get comfortable.  The grind is where we find the mind of a champion. 


Standards

"Standards are the base camps near the summit." -Bill Walsh

The Road

"The road to victory goes through a place called failure." -Bill Walsh

 

The Man

"The man who is dying of thirst is sitting next to a mountain stream."-Bill Walsh
There are streams of opportunities right in front of us.  With a vision we can see them.  And then drink from them.  And then make them a part of us.  If you thirst for excellence come and drink from the waters of success.
