Sports quotes can inspire, motivate, and bring a smile! Here are some of the favorite sports quotes from the 2015 – 2016 Hanover High Sports in Society class. The assignment was to select 10 quotes and write 2-3 sentences about each quote.

 

1. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. (Wayne Gretzky) I find this a very good quote because it says how if you never take the chance then you will never be any good. It the players who at least take the shots that count rather than shying away from the challenge.
2. It’s not whether you get knocked down, it whether you get back up. ( Vince Lombardi) I enjoy this quote because it is so true, the people who keep fighting can always find a way to win, a prime example of this is the 49th super bowl interception by malcolm butler.
3. You’re never a loser until you stop trying. ( Mike Ditka) This quote is about determination and always giving it your all which is what i’ve always prided myself about.
4. There are only two options regarding commitment. You’re either IN or you’re OUT. There is no such thing as life in between. ( Pat Riley) I like this quote because you have to have your heart into something if you want to do really good in it.
5. It not the size of the man that counts it’s the size of his heart that matters. (evander Holyfield) I like this quote because i have never been the biggest guy on the field but I used my mentality and skill to still be able to compete at a high level.
6. What to do with a mistake: recognize it, admit it, learn from it, forget it. ( Dean Smith) This quote is different from the other ones I liked because it was admitting defeat but being able to learn from it and yearn to get better any whatever it is that you do.
7. If you don’t have confidence, you will always find a way not to win. ( Carl Lewis) I like this quote because you have to believe that you are going to win no matter who it’s up against because if you don’t believe you are going to win then you will lose.
8. I never have left a field thinking that there was more I could have done to be ready, this gives me peace of mind. (peyton manning) As long as you try 100% of the time and you lose then there is nothing to be ashamed of as long as you did everything you possibly could have.
9. When you win, say nothing, when you lose, say less. ( Paul Brown) You have to have pride when you win and not boast about it and move on to the next game. When you lose there’s also nothing to say about it just move on and focus on the next one.
10. One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man can not make a team.  ( kareem abdul-jabbar) This quote means that a team needs to work together to get a team regardless of how good one player may be on that team. A fully functioning team is harder to beat then one player hogging the ball and going off.

This is my favorite quote because it very simple, many athletes try to be to influencial when they make a quote or make it seem like they only care about the team. Deion Sanders was open about making it clear he was about buissness and the nfl is a buissness where he wants to get payed the most possible.

 

#2. “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”   – Wayne Gretzky

 

This is one i love, it makes so much sense with the fact if you don’t take the chance or shot nothing is ever going to happen. You don’t score a goal if you don’t take a shot.

Everyone fails and you have to fail over and over to learn from each mistake and how to change failure to success. If you don’t fail you don’t learn. If you don’t fail you do not succeed.

This quote i can relate too. Training for something sucks and no one likes it but it pays off in the long run. Even though it is hard to stay motivated you have to push yourself.

 

#6. “Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.”– Babe Ruth

Never let the fear of failure take away from the want for success. This quote is something everyone should take something away from.

 

#7. “Push yourself again and again. Don’t give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.”– Larry Bird

Do not stop going 100% until it is over. You won’t be satisfied until you leave it all on the field.
