The Credit Belongs:

Author: Theodore Roosevelt

Welcome to the website of The Glendale Bulldogs

This was also given by different Bulldogs before several games in the
2004 Bulldogs football season. It's one of my favorites.
Enjoy, Coach.

"It is not the critic  who counts, not the man who points out now the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end , the triumph of high  achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

"If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?”
