27. "In the end, it’s extra effort that separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more than that, too. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination, discipline and self-sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don’t win, how can you lose?" -Jesse Owens

29. " The most important lesson I've learned from sports is how to be not only a gracious winner, but a good loser as well. … You learn a lot about sportsmanship. I mean, it's really tough to shake the hand of someone who just beat you, and it's even harder to do it with a smile. If you can learn to do this and push through that pain, you will remember what that moment is like the next time you win and have a better sense of how those competitors around you feel. This experience will teach you a lot on and off the field!" -Amy Van Dyken (six-time Olympic gold medal swimmer)

31. “One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.” -Knute Rockne
