Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.

Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.

The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. work is the key to success, and hard work can help you accomplish anything.

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

Diving has taught me a lot about life. My sport is all about perseverance and hard work. Sometimes you fail and sometimes you have to overcome obstacles and disappointments and you learn you have to stay calm. It seems like those are the same things you need in your daily life.
