 Vince Lombardi. Legendario inspirador.
Miércoles 2 Enero 2008 @ 5:49 pm
Para las personas que han sido o somos fans del americano deporte de las tacleadas, seguramente el nombre de este mítico entrenador en jefe resulta totalmente familiar en sus mentes. Una verdadera leyenda que ha servido de inspiración a muchas personas dentro de este deporte e incluso en otras áreas deportivas y no deportivas en todo el mundo.

Vince Lombardi se gano a pulso el que el trofeo que se entrega a los ganadores del Súper Bowl lleve su nombre.

Nació en Brooklyn Nueva York el 11 de junio de 1913 en una familia católica, lo cual muchos comentan fue parte importante en su formación de valores aplicados en la disciplina que tantos triunfos le dio. Estudio en la Universidad de Fordham y ahí se recibió con la máxima distinción Cum Laude por su dedicación en todo lo que hacia; fue profesor de algebra, física, química y latín en el Instituto Santa Cecilia en Nueva Jersey; entreno en el mismo instituto a los equipos de beisbol, basquetbol y por supuesto futbol americano, para finalmente dedicarse de lleno a entrenar únicamente en este deporte en la Universidad en la que se recibió: Fordham.

Lombardi no llego a la NFL directamente a los “cabezas de queso” (Empacadores de Green Bay), sino llego a los Gigantes de Nueva York en el año 1954 como asistente de Jim Lee Howell en el puesto de coordinador ofensivo. En 1959 se convirtió en entrenador en jefe del equipo que le dio gloria y su ingreso a los anales de la historia del futbol americano: Green Bay. El equipo tenia 12 años con temporadas negativas, y la primer campaña que Vince Lombardi se hizo cargo de el termino con esa mala racha quedando sus números en 7-5 (el año anterior los números de la franquicia fueron 1-10-1).

En la era Lombardi empezaron a destacar nombres que también a la postre serian legendarios como el mariscal de campo Bart Starr que fue forzado por su jefe a dar lo mejor de si en cada entrenamiento hasta alcanzar la excelencia.

También en la era Lombardi se desarrollo el juego que ahora es conocido como el “Tazón del Hielo” por las infames condiciones climatológicas en que fue llevado a cabo el mismo entre los Empacadores de Green Bay y los Vaqueros de Dallas el 31 de diciembre de 1967: ese día se recuerda hasta entonces como el fin de año mas frio en el norte del estado de Wisconsin, la temperatura estaba en los 25 grados bajo cero y el terreno de juego estaba tan duro y congelado que los que estuvieron ahí comentan que parecía una pista de patinaje. Los silbatos de los árbitros se congelaron y no pudieron ser utilizados desarrollándose el juego sin estos; el viento literalmente aullaba, y el partido fue definido por el estrella quarterback Bart Starr quedando el marcador 21-17 en favor de Green Bay. Previo a la victoriosa culminación, Lombardi ordeno a Starr la triunfal jugada con una de sus míticas frases: “Hazlo, y salgamos de este infierno de una vez”.

Tristemente tres años después perdió la batalla más importante, la batalla contra la muerte; un cáncer intestinal termino con su vida el 3 de septiembre de 1970.

Lombardi dejo un gran legado, y a este respecto las palabras del esquinero de los Empacadores y miembro del Salón de la Fama, Herb Adderley, dan una clara idea de ello cuando comento que no pasaba un solo día de su vida sin que pensara en el famoso entrenador en jefe. Lombardi era del tipo de personas con un don tan grande para dirigir grupos que cuando decía “tomen asiento” las personas a su alrededor no se molestaban en buscar una silla, simplemente se sentaban.

A el se deben muchas frases que sirven de inspiración en diversas disciplinas en el mundo. Algunas de sus más famosas:

“Ganar no lo es todo, es lo único”

“Si no te animas con entusiasmo, serás despedido con entusiasmo”

“Para alcanzar el éxito, en cualquier cosa que te propongas, has de pagar un precio”

“Le llaman entrenar pero en realidad es enseñar. No les dices simplemente lo que tienen que hacer… has de explicárselo”

“Jamás ganarás un partido a menos que superes al tipo enfrente tuyo. El marcador no importa nada. Sólo vale para los aficionados. Tú tienes que ganar la guerra con el hombre que está frente a ti. Tienes que ganarle a tu hombre”

“Cuanto más trabajas, más difícil es rendirse”

“Una vez que aprendes a rendirte, eso se convierte en un hábito”

“Si no importa quien gana o pierde en el juego, ¿entonces por qué llevan la cuenta en el marcador?”

“No se trata de las veces que te tiran al suelo, sino de las veces que te levantas”



Vince Lombardi fue uno de los mejores entrenadores de fútbol americano. Hijo de italianos, educado a base del trabajo y el esfuerzo, condujo paupérrimos equipos a la fama a través de sus motivadoras charlas y entrenamientos.
Les dejo algunas de sus frases que realmente matan!!!


Si tú crees que estás derrotado, lo estás; si tú crees que no te atreves, no lo harás.

Si te gusta ganar, pero crees que no puedes vencer, es casi un hecho que vas a perder.

Si tú crees que vas a perder, estás perdido; porque en este mundo encontramos que el éxito empieza en la voluntad del hombre, y que reside en una actitud personal.

Si tu crees que eres inferior, lo eres; tienes que pensar en grande para elevarte, tienes que estar seguro de ti mismo antes de poder alcanzar la cumbre.

Las batallas no siempre las gana el más fuerte, o el más veloz, tarde o temprano el hombre que triunfa es aquél que cree que puede triunfar.

Mucha gente entrará y saldrá de tu vida, pero solo los amigos
verdaderos dejarán huellas en tu corazón.



Para sostenerte a ti mismo, usa tu cabeza, para sostener a otros, usa
tu corazón.



La ira es una carta pequeña de peligro



Si alguien te traiciona una vez, es su culpa, si te traiciona dos
veces, es tu culpa.



Mentes pequeñas discuten con la gente, mentes promedios discuten
sucesos, mentes grandes discuten ideas.



Descubra lo que le gusta hacer, y entonces triunfará      Mark McCormack



Usted nunca sabe lo que usted puede hacer hasta que no lo intente. Anónimo.



Ser joven es tener capacidad para soñar.



Domínate y conquístate a ti mismo!!Triunfador no es el que vence a los demás, sino el que se conquista a sí mismo, frenando su vicios y superando sus límites. El triunfo sobre sí mismo es sin medida más difícil, y al que lo consigue se lo puede colocar entre los héroes. Aprende a dominarte, y no te desanimes jamás. Si hoy no lo lograste, vuelve a empezar que, algún día triunfarás.



El éxito en la vida consiste en seguir siempre adelante.    -Samuel Johnson



La clave del éxito depende sólo de lo que podamos hacer de la mejor manera posible. -H.W. Longfellow

Vincent Thomas Lombardi (June 11, 1913 – September 3, 1970) was an American football coach.

Lombardi played American football at St. Francis Preparatory School, and later Fordham University. He began his coaching career as an assistant coach at St. Cecilia, a Catholic high school in Englewood, New Jersey. In 1942, he became the head coach at St. Cecilia. He left for Fordham in 1947 to coach freshman football and freshman basketball, and later became an assistant coach for the varsity football team. Lombardi went on to become an offensive line coach at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point for five years under Colonel Red Blaik. He became the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants in 1954 under Jim Lee Howell. Lombardi, along with defensive coordinator Tom Landry, helped coach the Giants to a league championship in 1956. Lombardi was the head coach of the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League from 1959-67, winning five league championships during his nine years. Following a one-year retirement from coaching in 1968, he returned as head coach of the Washington Redskins for the 1969 season.

Lombardi's record in the post-season was 9–1, the loss coming in the first of those games, the 1960 NFL Championship Game.

Lombardi was born in Brooklyn to Italian-born father Enrico "Harry" Lombardi, a butcher, and Brooklyn-born Matilda Izzo, the daughter of a barber, whose parents had immigrated as teenagers from just east of Salerno in southern Italy. Henry Lombardi also had a brother whose name was Michael Lombardi, who was also a butcher in Brooklyn. Vince Lombardi was raised in the Sheepshead Bay area of southern Brooklyn and attended its public schools through the eighth grade. As a child Vince Lombardi helped his dad with his work.

In 1928, at the age of 15, he entered Cathedral College of the Immaculate Conception, a six-year secondary program to become a Catholic priest. After two years, Lombardi decided not to pursue this path and transferred to the St. Francis Prep, where he was a standout on the football team, played baseball and was a Charter Member of Omega Gamma Delta Fraternity. Lombardi remained a devout Catholic throughout his life.

[edit] Days at Fordham University

The Lombardi Memorial Center at Fordham UniversityIn 1933, Lombardi accepted a football scholarship to Fordham University in The Bronx to play for new head coach Sleepy Jim Crowley, one of the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame in the 1920s. Lombardi was an undersized guard (5'8" 185 lb.) Nonetheless, he became one of the Seven Blocks of Granite, a nickname given to the Fordham University football team's offensive line. The most famous Seven Blocks of Granite were the 1936 line: Leo Paquin, Johnny Druze, Alex Wojciechowicz, Ed Franco, Al Babartsky, Natty Pierce, and Vince Lombardi. The nickname, however, was also commonly used to referred to the Fordham lines of the 1929, 1930, and 1937 teams but it is the 1936 line which is today the best known.

His Senior Year, the 1936 Rams went 5-0-2 before losing, what Lombardi called; "The Most devastating loss of my life," when they lost the final game of the season 7-6 to NYU, and with it, the hopes of playing in the Rose Bowl.

In 1939, after two years at a St. Jesus Alphabet School, semi-professional football (with the Brooklyn Eagles, bulking up to 205 lb., and Wilmington Clippers), and an unfulfilled semester of Fordham Law School at night, Lombardi accepted an assistant coaching job at St. Cecilia, a Catholic high school in Englewood, New Jersey. He was hired by its new head coach, his former Fordham teammate, quarterback "Handy" Andy Palau. Palau had also struggled for two years, failing to make it in baseball as a catcher in the Yankee farm system. Palau had just taken over the head coaching position from another Fordham teammate, Nat Pierce (left guard), who had accepted an assistant coach's job back at Fordham. In addition to coaching, Lombardi, age 26, also taught Latin, chemistry, and physics for an annual salary of under $1800 at the high school. Lombardi and Palau shared a boarding house room across the street from the school for $1.50 each per week.

In 1940, Lombardi married Marie Planitz, a cousin of another Fordham teammate, Jim Lawlor. Andy Palau left for Fordham in 1942 and Lombardi became the head coach at St. Cecilia. Lombardi stayed a total of eight years (five as head coach), leaving for Fordham in 1947 to coach the freshman teams in football and basketball. The following year he served as an assistant coach for Fordham's varsity football team.

[edit] West Point
Following the 1948 football season, Lombardi accepted another assistant's job, at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, a position that would greatly influence his future coaching style. Lombardi served as offensive line coach under legendary head coach Colonel Red Blaik. Blaik's emphasis on execution would become a hallmark of Lombardi's NFL teams. Lombardi coached at West Point for five seasons, with varying results. The 1949, 1950, and 1953 seasons were successful, but the 1951 and 1952 seasons were not, due to the aftermath of a cadet cribbing scandal in the spring of 1951, which severely depleted the talent on the football team. Following these five seasons at Army, Lombardi accepted an assistant coaching position with the NFL's New York Giants.

[edit] To the NFL
Lombardi, age 41, began his career as a professional football coach in 1954. He accepted a job that would later become known as the offensive coordinator position for the NFL's New York Giants, under new head coach Jim Lee Howell. The Giants had finished the previous season, under 23-year coach Steve Owen, with a 3–9 record. By the third season, Lombardi, along with the defensive coordinator, All-Pro cornerback turned coach Tom Landry, turned the squad into a championship team, defeating the Chicago Bears for the league title in 1956. Lombardi relied on the talents of Frank Gifford, whom Lombardi made a two-way player, offensive halfback and his original professional position of defensive halfback.

[edit] Head coaching career
[edit] Green Bay Packers
On February 2, 1959, at age 45, Vince Lombardi accepted the position of Head Coach and General Manager of the Green Bay Packers. Lombardi inherited a team which in 1958 had lost all but two of its 12 games (a win & a tie), worst in Packers history. Lombardi created punishing training regimens and expected absolute dedication and effort from his players. The 1959 Packers were an immediate improvement, finishing at 7–5. Rookie head coach Lombardi was named Coach of the Year.

In his second year, Lombardi led the Packers to the 1960 NFL championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles, but suffered his only post-season loss when Packer fullback Jim Taylor was stopped nine yards from the end zone by the Eagles linebacker Chuck Bednarik as time ran out. According to When Pride Still Mattered, after the loss to the Eagles, Lombardi stated that losing a championship game was unacceptable and it would not happen again under his command. (He would win his next nine post-season games.)

Immediately following that game, Lombardi had an opportunity to become head coach of the New York Giants, once his dream job. After considerable deliberation he declined, and the Giants hired Allie Sherman instead. The Packers would defeat the Giants for the NFL title in 1961 (37–0 in Green Bay) and 1962 (16–7 at Yankee Stadium), marking the first two of their five titles in Lombardi's nine years. His only other post-season loss occurred to the St. Louis Cardinals in the Playoff Bowl (3rd place game) after the 1964 season (officially classified as an exhibition game). Lombardi had earlier expressed an interest in the head coaching job at Notre Dame and on two separate occasions wrote letters to the university to that effect. He never received a reply.

Lombardi went on to accomplish a 106–34–6 record as head coach (.73, discarding ties as was the NFL policy); and he never suffered a losing season. He led the Packers to a still-unmatched three consecutive NFL championships in 1965, 1966, and 1967 (Except for 1929, 1930, 1931 when the Packers won their first 3 straight NFL Championships under Curly Lambeau, creator of the Green Bay Packers; winning the first two Super Bowls, solidifying his place in history as one of, if not the greatest coach in football history.

[edit] Vice President?
Lombardi's popularity was so great that Richard Nixon supposedly considered him as a running mate for the 1968 election, only to be reminded by an advisor that Lombardi was a Kennedy Democrat who had campaigned on behalf of a Wisconsin U.S. Senator (although Lombardi's wife, father and brother were Republicans).[1]

[edit] The Lombardi Sweep
As coach of the Packers, Lombardi converted Notre Dame quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Paul Hornung to a full-time halfback. Lombardi designed a play for Hornung based on an old single wing concept—both guards pulled to the outside and blocked downfield while Hornung would "run to daylight" -- i.e., wherever the defenders weren't. This was a play that he had originally developed with the Giants for Gifford that would become famous as the "Lombardi sweep" or "Packer power sweep."

[edit] The Ice Bowl
Main article: NFL Championship Game, 1967
One of the most famous games in the history of football was the NFL Championship Game of 1967, in which his team hosted the Dallas Cowboys in Green Bay on the last day of the year. This became known as the Ice Bowl because of the -13F game time temperature. With sixteen seconds left in the game and down by three points, the Packers called their final time-out. It was third and goal on the Dallas one yard line. The previous two plays (44-Dive) to halfback Donny Anderson had gone for no gain.

Following the time out, quarterback Bart Starr ran an unplanned sneak, with center Ken Bowman and right guard Jerry Kramer taking out Dallas defensive left tackle Jethro Pugh; Starr scored the touchdown and won the game. The play (31-Wedge) actually called for Starr to hand off to Chuck Mercein, a little known fullback from Yale (brought in at midseason after being cut by the New York Giants) who had played a major part in propelling the Packers down the field on the final drive. This play call (suggested by Starr) was a shrewd call by Lombardi, because with no timeouts, Dallas was expecting a pass. An incomplete pass would have stopped the clock and allowed a field goal attempt, but if Mercein were stopped at the goal line, Starr could not have spiked the ball as it then would have been fourth down. Starr, feeling the field was too icy and the footing too precarious, decided to keep the ball and dive in himself, surprising even his own teammates. Mercein said he raised his hands into the air as he plowed into the pile (expecting the handoff), not to signal "touchdown," but to show the officials that he was not illegally assisting Starr into the end zone. Lombardi, explaining why he had not chosen to kick a game-tying field goal, said of that play, "We gambled and we won." Two weeks later, the Packers would handily defeat the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II, Lombardi's finale as the Green Bay head coach.

[edit] Washington Redskins
Lombardi stepped down as head coach of the Packers following the 1967 NFL season, staying on as the team's general manager for 1968. He handed off the head coaching position to Phil Bengtson, a longtime assistant, but the Packers finished at 6–7–1 and out of the four team NFL playoffs. A restless Lombardi returned to coaching in 1969 with the Washington Redskins, where he broke a string of 14 losing seasons. The 'Skins would finish with a record of 7–5–2, significant for a number of reasons. Lombardi discovered that rookie running back Larry Brown was deaf in one ear, something that had escaped his parents, schoolteachers, and previous coaches. Lombardi had observed Brown's habit of tilting his head in one direction when listening to signals being called, and walked behind him during drills and said "Larry." When Brown did not answer, the coach asked him to take a hearing exam. Brown was fitted with a hearing aid, and with this correction he would enjoy a successful NFL career.

Lombardi was the first coach to get soft-bellied quarterback Sonny Jurgensen, one of the league's premier forward passers, to get into the best condition he could. He coaxed former All-Pro linebacker Sam Huff out of retirement. He even changed the team's uniform design to reflect that of the Packers, with gold and white trim along the jersey biceps, and later a gold helmet with an "R" inside a circle, similar to the famous Green Bay "G" monogram. The foundation Lombardi laid was the groundwork for Washington's early 1970s success under former L.A. Rams Coach George Allen. Lombardi had brought a winning attitude to the Nation's Capital, in the same year that the nearby University of Maryland had hired Lefty Driesell to coach basketball and the hapless Washington Senators named Ted Williams as manager and led the club to its only winning record in Washington (86–76). It marked a renaissance in sports interest in America's most transient of cities.

[edit] Illness and death
During the summer, the hearty Lombardi suddenly began to feel less than his vigorous self. He was diagnosed with colon cancer in late June 1970, weeks before training camp for his second season in Washington. Although a long-time sufferer of digestive tract problems, Lombardi had avoided going to the doctor and this delay may have hastened his illness and eventual death. He was treated at the Georgetown University Hospital, but by the time it was discovered, the cancer had rapidly spread from his colon to his liver, peritoneum, and lymph nodes. The attending oncologist described it as the most aggressive case he had ever witnessed (Maraniss, "When Pride Still Mattered"). He died ten weeks later on September 3, 1970 at the age of 57.

Many made long journeys to attend his funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, and hardened football veterans wept openly at the service, held on September 7. Honorary pallbearers included Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, Willie Davis, Tony Canadeo, Wellington Mara, Dick Bourguignon, and Edward Bennett Williams. President Nixon went so far as to send a telegram of condolence signed "The People".

Just a week after his death, the NFL's Super Bowl trophy was renamed the Vince Lombardi Trophy in his honor, first awarded after Super Bowl V. Lombardi was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame at its next induction ceremony in 1971.

Vince Lombardi is buried next to his wife Marie and his parents Harry and Matilda, in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Middletown Township, New Jersey.[1]

[edit] Legacy

A statue of Vince Lombardi stands near the main entrance of Lambeau FieldVince Lombardi has become virtually synonymous with the NFL. This began during his career: he was featured as the face of the NFL on the cover of Time on December 14, 1962 as part of the magazine's cover story on "The Sport of the '60s." Lombardi's players were wholeheartedly devoted to him, and his emphasis on hard work and dedication endeared him to millions who admired his values.

In addition to Lombardi's contributions to the history of pro football, Lombardi is legendary for his coaching philosophy and motivational skills. Many of Lombardi's speeches continue to be quoted frequently today. However it must be kept in context that his quotes were based on his football experience. Regardless, he is well known as being unequivocally committed to winning. One of his most famous maxims is "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing," although he did not coin the phrase and the exact words he used are disputed. "Lombardi time" is the principle that one should arrive 10–15 minutes early, or else be considered late. His chief scout, Wally Cruice, once said of Lombardi's single-minded devotion to the game: "you didn't talk about anything but football. If you didn't have the facts, he didn't want you to waste his time."

Lombardi is also credited with introducing the concept of zone blocking to the NFL. In zone blocking the offensive line players block as a unit, instead of individually man-to-man, as was the norm up to that time. The running back then was expected to run toward any hole that was created. Lombardi referred to this as "running to daylight."

Lombardi's grandson, Joe Lombardi, is the current quarterbacks coach with the New Orleans Saints. Vince also had a brother, Joseph, who was active in the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Joseph died in 2005.

ESPN Films has announced that they will be making a film chronicling Lombardi's years as coach for Green Bay, set to be released in February of 2012. Robert De Niro has been reportedly signed to play Lombardi in the film.[2]

[edit] Honors
In 1968, Highland Avenue in Green Bay, home to the Packers' Lambeau Field, was renamed for Lombardi.
As part of the Lambeau Field renovation, a 14-foot statue of Lombardi now stands on a plaza outside the stadium, in an overcoat grasping a program, as he did often on the sideline.
In 1972, the Green Bay School District named its new junior high school (later a middle school) "Vincent T. Lombardi Junior High (Middle) School," located on Green Bay's southwest side.
The football field at Old Bridge High School in Old Bridge, New Jersey, is called "Vince Lombardi Field." It has been called this since the 1970s, the field in Palisades Park is also known as "Vince Lombardi Field." His brother Joe attended the rededication ceremony in the 1990s.
Vince Lombardi Square (with a plaque dedication in the sidewalk on the square) is near Sheepshead Bay Road and East 14th Street in Brooklyn, New York.
