I love Lou Holtz. I met him when I was younger because I happened to attend the same elementary school he did when he was younger.
He is a magician when it comes to inspiring people. His words are genuine. People identify with him.
He has a segment on once a week during ESPN’s football coverage and there are a few things I wanted to share that I think apply to everyone, not just football players.
“Tradition is always under construction.” Every week there is a chance to build and there is a chance to crumble. You are either growing or you are dying. Don’t mistake “maintaining” as is it another way of “dying.”
Next he told the story of how a football coach once told him when he was a younger coach that he “shouldn’t worry about making friends or making enemies. Just worry about winning. Because if you are winning your enemies can’t hurt you and if you are losing your friends can’t save you.”
