I'll apologize up front, I have a background in athletics. Sorry. That being said, some of the greatest influences on me have come from things I've seen, heard or been a part of through athletics. Here are five of the best quotes I've taken from coaches:
1. "Focus on the process, not the results" John Wooden, legendary basketball coach from UCLA.
2. "The difference between who you are today and who you will be in five years will be as a result of the books you read and the people you listen to." Lou Holtz, football coach.
3. "The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender." Vince Lombardi, NFL Football Coach
4. "Leadership, like coaching, is fighting for the hearts and souls of men and getting them to believe in you." Eddie Robinson, legendary football coach from Grambling.
5. "Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve." Tom Landry, NFL Football Coach
