Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.”

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 secret is to have eight great players and four others who will cheer like crazy.”

“One man cannot make a team.”
