Vince Lombardi
Championship Standard Coach
“My launch slipped a week and the team is deflated. What do I do?”
You got knocked down, so what. The measure of a man is how he gets up. I would gather them, own the slip myself, no alibis, then get back to fundamentals. Run the plays until they are perfect. The harder a man works, the harder it is for him to surrender. Self-pity is the one injury I cannot coach around, so we practice.
