Whether you're a fan of basketball, football (soccer?), individual or team sports - you'll find inspirational sport quotes for you. (I hope. If not, do let me know, eh!) Again, it's best if you only read a few quotations at a time - you can get too much of a good thing, you really can! All of these free inspirational quotes and sayings are hand-picked (by me) - thousands of inspirational life quotes did not, ahem, make the cut! Hope you enjoy... Quotations on Sport - Free Inspirational QuotesInspirational sports quotes - what they say...Be a sport and let me know what you think of these inspirational sports quotes - thanks. "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 will must be stronger than the skill." "Pain
is temporary. Quitting lasts forever." "People
have always doubted whether I was good enough to play this game at this level.
I thought I was, and I thought I could be. What other people thought was really
always irrelevant to me." "My
mind is my 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 a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to
climb it, go through it, or work around it." (You can find more basketball quotes here!) "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." (I think Lawrence is also talking about visualisation: visualising yourself as a winner! This V-word is sooo important these days, it seems. But you don't have to be top athlete to gain the benefits, oh no! As you'll find out if you visit the Dream Manifesto's Visualization pages.) "If 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 26 occasions I have
been entrusted to take the game winning shot. . . and missed. And I have failed
over and over and over again in my life. And that is why. . . I succeed." (If all of these inspirational sports quotes seem too much, right now, perhaps you need help with your motivation quotes! :-) ) Inspirational sports quotes - what they still say...MORE inspirational sports quotes (if you really insist), but first a little 'inspirational sports quote' a la YouTube... (Watch out for the film of Pele which is taken from Escape To Victory - kind of cheating for this clip, but never mind!)
Okay, back to the quotes... "Confidence
is the most important single factor in this game, and no matter how great your
talent, there is only one way to obtain it-work." (More help with self-confidence here!) "If
you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on." "Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence
wins championships." "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." (Spoken like a true goal-setting hero!) "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." (Hank, this is a great motivation tip, it really is!) "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." (Don't you think that this quote sums up what success is all about?) "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." Inspirational sports quotes - what these recommended resources say...Still
want more? Sheesh, I guess you just don't recognise a finishing line, do ya! ;-)
