Be as prepared as I could, and I tried to see

What I could really do and what my potential

Was. I just really did kind of whatever it took.

I feel that the greatest reward for doing

Is the opportunity to do more.

- Jonas Salk

The true rewards of leadership come from striving

To look up to a higher moral standard. Good leaders

Sometimes, in fact, quite often, lose in the material

World. They go right ahead anyway, knowing that

They are going to lose. Are they tilting at windmills?

Do they have a 'can't do' attitude instead of a

'can-do' attitude? Of course not. They are committed

to defending the right values. And the right values are

Seldom safe, easy, or advantageous.

- H. Norman Schwarzkopf

In the absence of clearly defined goals,

Into great (organizations) are motivated

By a deep creative urge and an inner compulsion

For sheer unadulterated excellence for its own sake.

Power is not a Means, it is an End.
One does not establish a dictatorship

In order to safeguard a revolution;
one makes the revolution in order

To establish the dictatorship.

And when times are bad, you know they don’t

Need to last forever. Instead of sitting there

Wallowing in it, you get on with it.

I will persist until I succeed.

I was not delivered into this world into defeat,

Nor does failure course in my veins.

I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep.

The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.

I will persist until I succeed.

- Og Mandino

Tide Turner: Gutsy play helps Alabama 45-40 win over Clemson for national title 

By Ralph d. Russo, AP College Football Writer

With 10:34 left in the fourth quarter and Alabama having just tied the game at 24-24, Coach Saban took a chance to try to keep the ball away from Watson. He called for an onside kick called Pop Kick from Adam Griffith and Alabama defensive back Marlon Humphrey caught it over the shoulder at midfield.

Tide turned.

"It was tough. It really was," Coach Saban, who now has more national titles than every other coach but Bear Bryant, the man who first made Alabama synonymous with college football greatness.

"I made the decision to do it because the score was (tied) and we were tired on defense and weren't doing a great job of getting them stopped and felt like if we didn't do something or take a chance to change the momentum of the game that we wouldn't have a chance to win,"

Moments later, Alabama took back the lead for good. For the second time, Clemson (14-1) lost track of the tight end Howard in coverage and Jake Coker hit him in stride deep for a 51-yard touchdown to make it 31-24 with 9:45 left.

The Great leaders develop a discipline for achieving success. 

Just as Lombardi placed a high value on time, we must find a 

discipline for Greatness and then make it an emphasis in our

manage your time can help you clock in with top results.

- Don Yaeger

Coach Calipari quote 1816

We’ve taken steps forward and back this year. 

At the end of the day, this falls on me as the coach … 

not individual players … to transform this group to where

we’re trying to go. Their job is to be enthusiastic, to play 

hard, to play physical, to be loose and to have fun. 

They control that.

This transformation begins with a coach’s vision of what

the team and individuals’ best version looks like, and having

an unrelenting will to have the team work toward that vision. 

They must buy in! 

Eventually, the team feels empowered because they "get it"

and can play together with a common goal. 

They accept roles, they have fun playing and they look for

incremental improvement daily.

I believe in this team (2015-16) of players. 

We have to work toward empowering them.  

THAT’S ON ME!

- Coach John Calipari

1716 quotes

A moment’s insight is sometimes worth

A life’s experience.

A big part of letting go is recognizing when

Is time to move on?
- Darren L. Johnson

There are two primary choices in life …

To accept conditions as they exist,

Or accept the responsibility for changing them.
- Denis Waitley

One's destination is never a place

We have to let go of all blame, all attacking,

What we say we want.
- Joe Vitale

To succeed... you need to find something

To hold on to, something to motivate you,

Something to inspire you.

- Tony Dorsett

Keys to success... Research your idea,

Plan for success, Expect success, &

Just plain do it! It amazes me how many

People skip the last step! Practice being

A "doer" and success will follow you every

Step of the way!

- Josh S. Hinds

But rather something to be achieved.
