“The old lessons (work, self-discipline, sacrifice, teamwork, fighting to achieve) aren’t being taught by many people other than football coaches these days. The football coach has a captive audience and can teach these lessons because the communication lines between himself and his players are more wide open than between kids and parents. We better teach these lessons or else the country’s future population will be made up of a majority of crooks, drug addicts, or people on relief.”

Coach Bryant......man was he correct

lol ... there are certainly an equal number of people who learned hard work/self discipline/fighting to achieve from something other than sports ... i'd be willing to bet most of the nobel prize winners for science/medicine didn't learn those traits from sports ...
