Jimmy Johnson sharing a mindset lesson from General Patton. "Football rewards the guys that are in great condition. That's when you have fun. When you're kicking somebody's ass and they're sucking for wind." Then he quoted the great general: "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." "When you're tired - you make mistakes, you don't do what's right, and your will to win all of a sudden starts to waver." "You get tired and all of a sudden you don't have that same fight." It makes you vulnerable. It removes your discipline and your drive to succeed. "Fatigue makes cowards of us all. All of us. Me included." "If you're in great shape, if you can run like a deer at the end of the ball game, you're gonna be smiling and having fun." It means take time to prepare your mind and body. Conditioning and preparation are things you can control. Because when fatigue sets in, the fight goes with it if you let it. (🎥NFL Films )

Bill Parcells shares the difference between winners and losers. "Losers assemble in little groups and complain about the coaches and the players in other little groups." "But winners assemble as a team." Winners don't point fingers and they don't make excuses. They dedicate themselves to personal excellence and team excellence. They commit to the team, bringing a positive attitude, and doing the work. (Quote referenced from Emlen Tunnell)
