Bobbie Knight

"Most people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win."

"The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win.Everyone wants to win but not everyone wants to prepare to win. preparing to win is where the determination that you will win, is made. Once the game or test or project is underway, it is too late to prepare to win. The actual game, test or projetc is just the end of a long process of getting ready, in which the outcome was really determined. So if you want to win, you must want to prepare to win. Once you prepare to win, winning is almost anti climatic."

"The key is not the will to win. Everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important."

"When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass!”"

"In order to achieve positive results, one must work for them, not hope for them."

"The will to win is not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win"

"I don't believe in luck, I believe in preparation."

"Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one."
