Quotes of the Week

Here are some quotes from one of my all-time favorite coaches Bear Bryant:

“I’m no miracle man. I guarantee nothing but hard work.”

“I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.”

“There’s a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.”

“I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude. The coaches must have it. The players must have it. The student body must have it. If you have dedicated players who believe in themselves, you don’t need a lot of talent.”

“If there is one thing that has helped me as a coach, it’s my ability to recognize winners, or good people who can become winners by paying the price.”

“Little things make the difference. Everyone is well prepared in the big things, but only the winners perfect the little things.”

“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.”

 “Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don’t forget them when they leave.”

Varsity Boys Off to a Great Start

The Varsity Boys Volleyball team got their season off to a great start with 2-0 wins over Vincent Massey Winnipeg and VIncent Massey Brandon Friday night at UofW.
