“Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them — a desire, a dream, a vision.” ~Muhammad Ali, Boxing

“I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot… when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.” ~Michael Jordan, Basketball

“I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.” ~Mia Hamm, Soccer

“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.” ~Lance Armstrong, Cycling Champion

“Doctors and scientists said that breaking the four-minute mile was impossible, that one would die in the attempt. Thus, when I got up from the track after collapsing at the finish line, I figured I was dead.” ~Roger Bannister, Running

“You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.” ~Michael Phelps, Swimming

“Pain is temporary, glory…lasts forever!” ~George Best, Soccer

“Champions take responsibility. When the ball is coming over the net, you can be sure I want the ball.” ~Billie Jean King, Tennis

“I think setting a goal, getting a visual image of what it is you want. You’ve got to see what it is you want to achieve before you can pursue it”.
Chuck Norris, Karate

“Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.” ~Vince Lombardi, Football Coach

“The person that said winning isn’t everything, never won anything.” Mia Hamm, Soccer

“The road to Easy Street goes through the sewer.” ~John Madden, NFL Football Coach

“Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.” ~John Wooden, College Basketball Coach
