TEAMWORK "Individual commitment to a group effort-that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work." "Teams do not go physically flat, they go mentally stale." "Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another." "People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society." "The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual." WINNING "Success demands singleness of purpose." "Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing-the result." "Winning is not a sometime thing: it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do the right thing once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." "Winning is not everything--but making effort to win is." "It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you've got to have is faith and discipline when you're not yet a winner." "I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious."

Unknown A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it." Quotes Collection from Jackie Leavenworth www.coachjackie.com / Jackie@coachjackie.com "If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.
