Kurt Warner Quotes

I think teams win. I don't think offense wins. I don't think defense wins. I don't think special teams - teams win.

It doesn't matter how well you play individually if the team isn't winning.

It's not always the best roster that wins, it's the best team, and sometimes that maybe doesn't jell all that well.

I think the only thing that matters is you win as a team and you lose as a team. And so the team needs to understand that no one player is bigger than any other player. Everybody has a role... Every single role is important.

We feel fortunate [with Canada hockey team]. We have got a lot of guys who love to play, but they also love to win even more. We are pretty happy. Although we are young, we like our group of players.

You should be disappointed in a loss and exhilarated in a win. It's all about the journey.

The thing it taught me was that winning's a helluva lot more fun than losing. It also taught me that the team with the best players that worked together the best wins.

This team just wasn't good enough today, but they had the unity I always wanted. To have an American team like this has always been a dream of mine.

Coaching is salesmanship. Coaching is winning players over and convincing them they have to play together. It takes a team conviction to play together to make things work.

This may sound arrogant, but I believe that if we'd done teamship better, we'd still be there. Where we fell down was the inability to hold together.

They have egos, they have their own ambitions, they have different personalities, but they are still bloody good teams.

I have played on many teams throughout my career, and I know when a team has the tools, and the right positive attitude towards winning.

Now, everybody always says there's no 'I' in team, but there is an 'I' in win, because the individuals make the team what it is, and how they think and what they do is important to the team.

To say that the captain makes the team lose or win is not correct.

In my time at Arsenal, we had a really good balance. We had players who were fast, players who were really strong physically, and players who were really creative.
