SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Girls Varsity Soccer Quote of the day

Shaiyza: "He taught us to play with emotion, because soccer is 99% mental, and no team can train to defend against an emotionally propelled team."

Or in the words of Yogi:

99% of baseball is half mental...

even though i agree with mentality being high up there in the importance of soccer, it has been proven time and time again that the better conditioned team is more likely to win. let's face it, you can't run 90 minutes on pure mental ability. your lungs have to factor in there somewhere... but anyway, the quote is very encouraging and thought provoking.

Beginnersluck,

As a compromise, how about:

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

-Joe Paterno

sweet quotes!

firefly: nice. i also enjoyed your elephant in the pj's quote you have for your profile thing. here's one just for fun. when asked what was the best thing about being a star, britney spears said: "The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff."

Once there was a gazelle. This gazelle knew it had to run faster than the fastest lion or it would be eaten. Once there was a lion. This lion knew it had to run faster than the slowest gazalle or it would starve.

Moral: No matter who you are. When you wake up in the morning you better be running!!!

that is pretty funny!!! but too bad it makes sense and is the truth.

It is the truth in sports and life in general. The person who wants it the most and works the hardest gets the rewards.

What if the Lion and the Gazalle both sleep in?
