En más de una ocasión, Herb Adderley, cornerback de los Green Bay Packers (1961-69) y miembro del Hall of Fame, has admitted that not a day goes by without think of Vince Lombardi. Many of his former players attribute any success in later life to the NFL. The great coaches in football history are all fantastic balance of victories and defeats, but this extra dimension of Lombardi's what separates him from the rest, no one has influenced his players as the legendary head coach of the Packers.
Born in New York on June 11, 1913 and died on September 3, 1970. As head coach, coached the Green Bay Packers from 1959 to 1967 and 1969.Entre Washington Redskins in 1961 and 1967, Lombardi won five NFL championships with the Packers, including two Superbowls first. Another important fact is that I never finished a season with a negative balance.
An intestinal cancer too widespread for when the diagnosis was his life on September 3, 1970. Over 3,500 people attended the burial ceremony.
Lombardi did not revolutionize the game as far as Paul Brown, Tom Landry or the recently deceased Bill Walsh. On the contrary, took the ideas and methods from other coaches. But no one ever ran basics to more seamlessly Lombardi. Just when the game was becoming more complex, he simplified it. And with their success, were others who began to pay attention to the basics. His incredible determination and desire to win as they left a deep imprint on his players and by extension in the league that no one has ever been able to match.
Many of his phrases are still used on today's equipment in the locker room not only football but any sport:
"Winning is not everything is the only thing."
"If You Are not fired with Enthusiasm, you'll be fired with Enthusiasm."
"You never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you. The score on the board Does not mean a thing. That's for the fans. You've got to win the war with the man in front of you. You've got to get your man. "-" I never win a game unless you complete the guy in front of you. The score does not matter. Only good for the fans. You have to win the war with the man who stands before you. You have to earn your man. "
" To Achieve Success, whatever the job we have, we must-pay a price. "-" To be successful in whatever you propose, you have to pay a price. "
"Once you learn to quit, it Becomes a habit." - "Once you learn to surrender, it becomes a habit."
"It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up. "-" It is not often that you throw to the ground, but how many times you get up. "
" The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. "
