Sean great column! have always been a fan of Vince Lombardi and his quotes. I used to read constantly about the great coaches aka teachers, or mentors of the time. Ever hear of Doc Counsilman? John Wooden and Joe Walton as coaches or students of their game they were master's at breaking it down and making it easy.One thing they all had in common was always the emphasis on the basics. Over and over the importance of mastering the basics and fundamentals will ultimately lead to success. They also had alot of great quotes as well. Steve Spurrier, Bobby Bowden, and Lou Holtz and Bobby Knight were always fun. check out famous quotes from any of them and you will laugh and be enlightened.

I have been a Packers fan since 1959! My grandparents raised me and I heard them praise Lombardi, it carried over into my young years of motherhood, raising my girls, watching the Packers and was excited then as I was as a child. Joined Twitter in 2019; widowed and again kept watching my Packers and do to this day! Hard, very hard to not idolize.
