The greatest efforts in sports came when the mind is as still as a glass lake.
Sports do not build character. They reveal it.
Other sports play once a week but this sport is with us every day.
It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.
Sometimes they write what I say and not what I mean. (on sportswriters)
I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.
Martha was watching the football game with me when she said, 'You know, most of these sports are based on the idea of one group protecting its territory from invasion by another group.' 'Yeah,' I said, trying not to laugh. Girls are funny.
I don't like to lose, and that isn't so much because it is just a football game, but because defeat means the failure to reach your objective. I don't want a football player who doesn't take defeat to heart, who laughs it off with the thought, 'Oh, well, there's another Saturday.' The trouble in American life today, in business as well as in sports, is that too many people are afraid of competition. The result is that in some circles people have come to sneer at success if it costs hard work and training and sacrifice.
Tactics, fitness, stroke ability, adaptability, experience, and sportsmanship are all necessary for winning.
