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.

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

posible. -H.W. Longfellow

conservas tu rostro dirigido al sol, nunca verás las sombras. Helen Keller
La verdad sin embages es que casi todos
los hombres con quienes tropieza usted se sienten superiores a usted en algún
sentido, y un camino seguro para llegarles al corazón es hacerles comprender,
de algún modo muy sutil, que usted reconoce su importancia, y la reconoce sinceramente. Dale Carnegie

Vincent
Thomas Lombardi (11 de junio de 1913 - 3 de septiembre de 1970) fue un
entrenador de fútbol americano estadounidense de ascendencia italiana. Lombardi
fue Entrenador en jefe (Head Coach) de los Green Bay Packers de la NFL entre
1959 y 1967, y de los Washington Redskins por una temporada (1969). Comenzó su
carrera en las laterales como entrenador asistente de los New York Giants.
Además, fue Gerente General en Green Bay en 1968. Ganó con esa franquicia los
dos primeros Super Bowls de la historia (en ambos casos como entrenador); su
registro en temporada regular de por vida es 96-34-6 y en Playoffs logró un
increíble record de 9-1, totalizando un récord total de 105 ganados, 35 perdidos y 6 empatados.
Lombardi murió en 1970 de un cáncer de
colon grave que le diagnosticaron en junio de 1970, semanas antes de dirigir su
segundo Campamento de entrenamiento al frente de los Redskins. Una semana antes
de su muerte la NFL nombró al trofeo del campeón del Super Bowl "Trofeo
Vince Lombardi" en su honor.

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.

[edit] Early years
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.
Also in Brooklyn, there are two places in the Bensonhurst area, which
are dedicated or re-honored in Vince Lombardi's honor: P.S. 204 on 15th Avenue
and 81st Street is officially named Vince Lombardi Elementary School, and the
entire Bensonhurst stretch of 16th Avenue is dedicated by the City of New York
as "Vince Lombardi Boulevard."
The Vince Lombardi Service Area and park-and-ride is the northernmost
rest area on the New Jersey Turnpike, at mileposts 116E on the Eastern Spur and
115.5W on the Western Spur. Outside the gift shop is a plaque about his life,
which notes that he is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Middletown, New Jersey.
The Vincent T. Lombardi Council, No. 6552, Knights of Columbus, in
Middletown, New Jersey, is named for him.
The Vince Lombardi Cancer clinic at Aurora BayCare Medical Center in
Green Bay is named after him.
The Vincent T. Lombardi Center at Fordham University was named for the
coach.
The Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University is
named in his honor.
Immediately following his death in September 1970, the NFL's "World
Championship Game Trophy" (first awarded in January 1967) was renamed the
Vince Lombardi Trophy. It is given annually to the winner of the Super Bowl.
In 1970, the Rotary Club of Houston created the Lombardi Award. It is
given annually to the best college-football lineman or linebacker.
In 1969, Lombardi received the Silver Buffalo Award, the highest adult
award given by the Boy Scouts of America.
Lombardi was enshrined in the NFL's Pro Football Hall of Fame, in
Canton, Ohio, at its next induction ceremony in 1971.
Lombardi is a member of the Washington Redskins Ring of Fame.
He was inducted posthumously into the Sports Hall of Fame of New Jersey in
1993.

Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work
is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if
you're willing to pay the price.

Fatigue makes cowards of
us all.

Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard
work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
Vince Lombardi
I don't think there's a punch-line scheduled, is there?
Vince Lombardi
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of
all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a
good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

Vince Lombardi
If you can accept losing, you can't win.
Vince Lombardi
Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team
work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
Vince Lombardi
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a
winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline
when you're not a winner.
Vince Lombardi
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.
Vince Lombardi
Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which
is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
Vince Lombardi
Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything
else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that
goal, or any goal.
Vince Lombardi
Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success,
it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent's pressure, and the
temporary failures.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.
Vince Lombardi
People who work together will win, whether it be against complex
football defenses, or the problems of modern society.
Vince Lombardi
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch
excellence.

football is only two things - blocking and tackling.

for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined
effort of each individual.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of
strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again
after you fall.
Vince Lombardi
The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.
Vince Lombardi
The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group. If he
does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the
consent he must win and the control he must exert.
Vince Lombardi
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
Vince Lombardi
The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.
Vince Lombardi
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and
the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of
ourselves to the task at hand.
Vince Lombardi
The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their
commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
Vince Lombardi
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back.
That's real glory. That's the essence of it.
Vince Lombardi

all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Vince Lombardi
Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is.
Vince Lombardi
Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.
Vince Lombardi
Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.
