Jeffrey Gitomer Quotes

The best way to improve your team is to improve yourself.

Work as hard as you can to become as good an individual player as you can to help your team win

Eventually, I'm going to be judged purely on my own merits.

My bench never heard me mention winning. My whole emphasis was for each one of my players to try to learn to execute the fundamentals to the best of their ability.

By making yourself better, that's how you make your team better.

For me, I've learned that the best thing is to focus on the team you play for and yourself and what you need to do.

I want my team to win and to be the best player I can possibly be.

The day I feel like I can't contribute to the team's success, that's the day I am going to call it quits.

I'm going to do all I can, control what I can control and I think one thing I can do beyond just playing the best I can is to start really coaching and leading other people so that I can never walk off the field saying, 'Hey, I did my part but so-and-so didn't,' that can't happen.

I think, for me, I should have worked harder on my mic skills, and I should have been a lot easier to deal with, and I would have been pushed a lot better.

There are always a ton of different people to learn from and people that are pushing me to get better.
