A Quote by Pat Summitt

I am about helping each and every student athlete that selects to wear the orange, you know, be successful at Tennessee individually and as a team. That type of record is certainly not anything that I have aspirations to reach.
The coach's job is to be part servant in helping each player reach his goals within the team concept.
I would like to fight as hard as I possibly can in each and every game and win or lose, leave it at that, and move forward. I know in my heart that that is the mindset I need to be a successful and happy athlete.
Don't worry about your individual numbers. Worry about the team. If the team is successful, each of you will be successful, too.
Hockey is a unique sport in the sense that you need each and every guy helping each other and pulling in the same direction to be successful.
She liked anything orange: leaves; some moons; marigolds; chrysanthemums; cheese; pumpkin, both in pie and out; orange juice; marmalade. Orange is bright and demanding. You can't ignore orange things. She once saw an orange parrot in the pet store and had never wanted anything so much in her life. She would have named it Halloween and fed it butterscotch. Her mother said butterscotch would make a bird sick and, besides, the dog would certainly eat it up. September never spoke to the dog again — on principle.
I really don't care about stats. I don't care about any of that stuff. I just care about performing each and every weekend and helping my team win ball games.
When I first went to LA. Honestly, it was different for me. The whole thing, the student-athlete part, you know, where the student came before the athlete. That was totally new to me. I had down online school since fifth grade so I never really had sat in a classroom and taken a note.
We believe in people executing their role and caring about the team more than anything individually
I know where my weaknesses are. I am not as athletic as other point guards in the league. I can't dunk over people. Maybe I'm not a good shooter, or whatever they say. But I know my strengths and that is helping my team to win by knowing exactly every moment what to do.
I remember every player-every single one-who wore the Tennessee orange, a shade that our rivals hate, a bold, aggravating color that you can usually find on a roadside crew, "or in a correctional institution," as my friend Wendy Larry jokes. But to us the color is a flag of pride, because it identifies us as Lady Vols and therefore as women of an unmistakable type. Fighters. I remember how many of them fought for a better life for themselves. I just met them halfway.
I'd never even seen orange cheese. I mean, who decided to make that orange? And so there was something different about me that they wanted to crush. I don't think it had anything to do with my physicality, but every single day in school it was, "You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen."
Tennessee is a very country-type state. Maybe I can practice on some type of country-western dance where they'll know what I'm doing.
Let me tell about Tennessee. If your car breaks down in Tennessee, you have just moved to Tennessee.
Why should every single character be an honor student who goes around helping others and never doing anything wrong? Is that like the rule or something?
Anyone who knows anything about me should know by now I am certainly not exactly a good politician. I am also willing to admit to you now that I never went to any classes that had anything to do political science.
As I view it, in every family a record should be kept...that record should be the first stone, if you choose, in the family altar. It should be a book known and used in the family circle; and when the child reaches maturity and goes out to make another household, one of the first things that the young couple should take along should be the records of their families, to be extended by them as life goes on...each one of us carries, individually, the responsibility of record keeping, and we should assume it.
