It's not the will to win that matters-everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.
It really doesn't cost anything to be nice, and the rewards can be unimaginable
There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.
When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: 1. Admit it. 2. Learn from it, and 3. Don't repeat it.
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.
Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things.
Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you'll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don't have a plan. That's why it's easy to beat most folks.
Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.
The old lessons (work, self-discipline, sacrifice, teamwork, fighting to achieve) aren't being taught by many people other than football coaches these days. The football coach has a captive audience and can teach these lessons because the communication lines between himself and his players are more wide open than between kids and parents. We better teach these lessons or else the country's future population will be made up of a majority of crooks, drug addicts, or people on relief.
The first time you quit, it's hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don't even have to think about it.
If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.
It's awfully important to win with humility. It's also important to lose. I hate to lose worse than anyone, but if you never lose you won't know how to act. If you lose with humility, then you can come back.
Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.
There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
Expect the unexpected.
Don't give up. Reach down inside of you and you'll find something left.
A champion pays an extra price to be better than anyone else.
What are you doing here? Tell me why you are here. If you are not here to win a national championship, you're in the wrong place. You boys are special. I don't want my players to be like other students. I want special people. You can learn a lot on the football field that isn't taught in the home, the church, or the classroom. There are going to be days when you think you've got no more to give and then you're going to give plenty more. You are going to have pride and class. You are going to be very special. You are going to win the national championship for Alabama.
In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.
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.
You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him to a heavy load.
I have always tried to teach my players to be fighters. When I say that, I don't mean put up your dukes and get in a fistfight over something. I'm talking about facing adversity in your life. There is not a person alive who isn't going to have some awfully bad days in their lives. I tell my players that what I mean by fighting is when your house burns down, and your wife runs off with the drummer, and you've lost your job and all the odds are against you. What are you going to do? Most people just lay down and quit. Well, I want my people to fight back.
If you want to walk the heavenly streets of gold, you gotta know the password, "Roll, Tide, Roll!"
Don't talk too much or too soon.
