biggest asset. I expect to win every tournament I play." "To achieve great things you have first to believe it." "Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into

it, or work around it." "God gives
talent; work transforms talent into genius." "The
most important thing about winning is believing that you can win no matter who
you are playing." "Champions aren't
made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them --
a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the

you have everything under control, you're not moving fast enough." "You've got to take the initiative and play your
game. In a decisive set, confidence is the difference." "You can always become better." "A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe
in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive
drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the
price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done." "To be a great champion you must believe you are the best.
If you're not, pretend you are." "I
have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On

And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why. .
. I succeed."

talent, there is only one way to obtain it-work." "If
you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on." "Always make a total effort, even when the odds
are against you." "Circumstances may
cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal. Prepare yourself
in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your experience,
so that you can make the most of opportunity when it occurs." (Find more sports quotes at Inspirational Quotes Change Lives .) "Leadership is a matter of having people
look at you and gain confidence in seeing how you react. If you're in control,
they're in control." "Experience tells
you what to do; confidence allows you to do it." "My
motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or
having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging." "Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose
that counts,' probably lost." "100%
of the shots you don't take don't go in." "The
spirit, the will to win and the will to excel are the things that endure. These
qualities are so much more important than the events that occur." "Just keep going. Everybody gets better if they
keep at it." "One day or another every
athlete feels like taking it easy. He stops trying to exceed his limits, and thinks
he can keep winning because of his lucky star, or the bad luck of his opponents.
You must overcome this negative instinct, which affects all of us, and which is
the only difference between the person who wins a race, and those who lose. This
is the battle you have to fight every day of your life." "Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination
and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence
- that will enable you to attain the success you seek." Return to inspirational quotes or return to Self Help Collective home page How Did We Do?What do you think to this inspirational sports quotes page? Please rate it below - thanks! :-)
