On the occasion of his 81st birthday, Let's See some sage advice From Bill Parcells.
"You lose with potential. You win with performance."
"Something goes wrong, I yell at them ,'Fix it', whether it's their fault or not. You can only really yell at the players you trust."
"No matter how much you've won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you're not winning now, so you stink."
"I just hate sloppy play, and we were fortunate to win. I don't know whether they deserved to win any more than us, but we certainly did a lot to hurt our chances."
"Blame no one. Expect nothing. Do something."
"The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability. I can't worry about that."
"I've been around enough to know what it takes to get a team to reach its potential, and I want players who want to reach their potential."
" What sets disciplined people apart? The capacity to get past distractions. Focus on the task at hand."
" What sets disciplined people apart? The capacity to get past distractions. Focus on the task at hand."
"I'm not really in the excuse business."
"I just try to do the best job I possibly can put the blinders on, go to work and be the best you can possibly be."
"If I have affected someone in a positive way, that means a lot to me."
"Success is never final, but failure can be."
"Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It’s one thing to hate failure, it’s another to fear it."
