Joe Paterno Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Joe Paterno:

Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good.

You have to perform at a consistently higher level than others. That's the mark of a true professional.

Joe Paterno

It doesn't matter what people think of me. I've lived my life.

Joe Paterno

Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks.

Coaches have got to be given rank within the university so that you can't fire a coach unless you go through an academic committee, just as you would with a professor. If coaches are to have any stability and security, they need to be treated like an English professor.

I'm not as concerned about me. What's happened to me has been great. I got five great kids. Seventeen grandchildren.

Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good.

Here, I have an opportunity to affect the lives of a lot of young people - and not just on my football team. I'm not kidding myself that that would be true at the professional level.

Joe Paterno

Its the name on the front of the jersey that matters most, not the one on the back.

When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.

The minute you think you've got it made, disaster is just around the corner.

What is a coach? We are teachers. Educators. We have the same obligations as all teachers, except we probably have more influence over young people than anybody but their families. And, in a lot of cases, more than their families.

Joe Paterno

The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.

Joe Paterno

Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.

Joe Paterno

We shall act with good intentions, but at times we will be wrong. When we are, let us admit it and try to right the situation.

Joe Paterno

When a kid plays football games before he attends a class, something is wrong.

Joe Paterno

Publicity is like poison; it doesn't hurt unless you swallow it.

Joe Paterno

I don't think it's fair to 12-, 13- and 14-year-olds to say 'Show us you're a winner right now!' Winning isn't everything. I'll never buy that thing that if a boy loses a football game, he's a loser in life.

Joe Paterno

I really enjoyed coaching.

Joe Paterno

You must relate athletic experiences to life.

Joe Paterno

To teach an academic subject is certainly not easy, but compared to coaching, it is. We can say 'two plus two is four' to every kid and be sure that we are right. But in coaching, we have to literally get to the soul of the people we are dealing with.

Joe Paterno

Mostly I want to talk positive; I wanna talk about a bunch of great kids that I coached and made me look good and the university that I've seen grow from a cow college, which it was, only 12,000 people, and when I came here, we weren't at Pennsylvania State University, we were at Penn State College.

Joe Paterno

I've had a wonderful experience here at Penn State.
