Look closely at Vince Lombardi and what do we find?

— Never had a losing season as a head coach 

— Transformed the Greenbay Packers who had previously gone 11 straight seasons without a winning record 

— In 1948 Lombardi accepted an assistant coaching job at West Point 

“As integral as religion was to [Lombardi’s] sense of self, it was not until he reached West Point and combined his spiritual discipline with Blaik’s military discipline that his coaching persona began to take its mature form.” – David Maranes

— Lombardi was 37 years old when his iconic persona began to take form. 

— And 47 when he accepted the job for the Greenbay Packers. 

Think about your own life. Your own pursuits and ambitions. How old are you? And think critically, what can you accomplish starting today? Don’t let your current status of employement, age, or range of capability limit what defines you. Push yourself everyday toward perfection so that you might “catch excellence”.

Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
