Motivacija je v NFL še posebej pomembna. Vsaj tako pravijo trenerji in vodilni možje franšiz. Sam sicer menim, da dodatno spodbujanje ob dejstvu, da za denar igraš v najmočnejši in najboljši ligi na svetu, ni potrebno. A kljub temu si preberite, s kakšnimi parolami so igralci “pumpani” pred vsakim treningom in tekmo!

Arizona Cardinals: “Get Your Mind Right”
Baltimore Ravens: “Work Hard, Stay Loose, Stay Focused, Be Accountable, Take Care of One Another”
Buffalo Bills: “Individuals play the game, but teams win championships.”
Chicago Bears: “If you want something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done.”
Cincinnati Bengals: “Why do we dread adversity when we know that facing it is the only way to become stronger, smarter, better?” – John Wooden
Cleveland Browns: “Training prepares you for the expected. Education prepares you for the unexpected.”
Green Bay Packers: “Train Like Champions, Play Like Champions”
Indianapolis Colts: “Take care of the little things, and the big things will take care of themselves.”
Miami Dolphins: “If great performance was easy, it wouldn’t be rare.”
Minnesota Vikings: “A good leader inspires other men with confidence in him. A great leader inspires them with confidence in themselves.”
Philadelphia Eagles: “Caesar’s army was so well trained in the winter, that their self-mastery was mastery over others when they marched in the spring.” – George S. Patton
San Diego Chargers: “Go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps as much as a hundred times without so much as a crack showing in it, yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did, but all that had gone before.” – Jacob Riis
San Francisco 49ers: “We’re building champions here! One day at a time. We succeed together!”
