Classic motivation quotes from athletes

"I like to work hard. I find my motivation. I don't like to go half-ways. I like to go all the way if I get involved in something. I think there is that kind of determination that maybe only a few people have. I don't like to quit when it is hard." - Nadia Comăneci

"I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'" - Muhammad Ali

"Boys, I'm asking you to go to the well again."

"Great moments are born from great opportunities."

"I could have picked this team in July and been real close...I kept them on the bubble. That's a key thing."

"They had to reinvent themselves a lot...They had to have a great personal attitude. They were well rounded players that could adapt to a whole new style of play...They're really tough psychologically. They were hard bitten tough people and that could be pulled and at times pushed, but mostly pulled. And understood that great do it again. They had tremendous resiliency. They were tough, tough young people." - Coach Herb Brooks U.S. Olympic team that beat the Soviets

"The only way we can compete with the Eastern Bloc teams is if we're willing to change. Change the way we train, the way we prepare, even change our schedule. I think we need to make it longer. You know, tougher. Much more competitive. We also need to change the way we play the game. My plan is to adopt a new style. A hybrid of the Soviet school and the Canadian school. A combination that requires the highest level of conditioning, speed, creativity, and most of all, team chemistry." - Coach Herb Brooks, Miracle Board Room Interview

In another scene in the movie, Herb Brooks told his players:

"Russian style of play, boys. Fluid. Creative. Forwards are constantly circling. They don't so much look for the man as they do a patch of ice. They get the mismatch, two-on-one, easy goal.

Boris Mikhailov. Captain for the last six years. He is the best player at his position. And that includes, as we've just found out, the NHL.

Vladislav Tretiak. You score on Tretiak, keep the puck. Cause it doesn't happen often.

Forty-two games in the last three months. Forty-two wins.

Their main weapon is intimidation. They know they're gonna win, and so do their opponents.

Look, I can give you all a load of crap about how you're a better team than they are, but that's exactly what it would be. And everyone in this room knows what people are saying about our chances.

I know it. You know it.

But I also know there is a way to stay with this team.

You don't defend them -- you ATTACK them.

You take their game and you shove it right back in their face. The team that is finally willing to do this is the team that has a chance to put them down.

NHL won't change their game. We will.

Rest of the world is afraid of them.

Boys, we won't be.

No one has ever worked hard enough to skate with the Soviet team for an entire game.

Gentlemen, we are gonna work hard enough." - Miracle - Motivational Speech and American Rhetoric: Movie Speech- "Miracle" (2004)

How to develop a winning mindset

The Franklin Covey company (related to best-selling author Stephen Covey who wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, indicates: "Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good! (See: Habit 4: Think Win-Win). Having a network of allies makes a person or organization more resilient/anti-fragile during challenging times and relationships that are win-wing relationships are more enduring.
