It is the only thing. Like my father before me, I have a violent temper with which I have been struggling all my life, and with which I have had to effect a compromise. It is ineradicable, but it must not be irrational. I will demand a commitment to excellence and to victory, and that is what life is all about. Dancing is a contact sport.
Football is a hitting sport.
I think that a boy with talent has a moral obligation to fulfill it, and I will not relent on my own responsibility. Teams do not go physically flat, they go mentally stale. Fatigue makes cowards of us all. The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender. The will to excel and the will to win, they endure.
