Play Like A Champion Today- In The Words Of Lou Holtz

"The word `champion' means you're the best - the very definition of it," "You're a bar above the rest. When you play that way, you're going to be the best and if you give your best, that's all you can ask of a person."
"Regardless of the won-loss record, regardless of the problems you have, when you walk out on that field you have an obligation to your teammates and the fans to play to the best of your ability - to play like a champion and to think like a champion,"
"But, I also asked my players that every time they hit that sign, to think about all the sacrifices your family has made; your teammates made in high school; the sacrifices your teachers have made; and you also think of the thousands of people who would love to be in your position. Just think about how fortunate we are.
"All of these thoughts should go through your mind when you hit that sign - `Play Like A Champion Today'." -Former Notre Dame Football Coach Lou Holtz
