Choose a letter: 
The biggest difference is in the leadership. It was better for us. We had more coaches and mentors to help us. A lot of the younger players today suffer from a lack of direction.

I don't care tuppence whether I'm forced into a leadership position or not. I'd much sooner not.
E. P. Thompson, British Historian (1924-1993)
Sport fosters many things that are good; teamwork and leadership.
Daley Thompson, English Athlete (1958-  )
Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
Harry S. Truman, American President (1884-1972)
I want to deploy the leadership to meet the challenges that face us and to restore America's greatness.
Paul Tsongas, American Politician (1941-1997)

President Ford was a devoted, decent man of impeccable integrity who put service to his country before his own self interest. He helped heal our nation during a time of crisis, provided steady leadership and restored people's faith in the presidency and in government.
Mark Udall, American Politician (1950-  )
A leader is one who, out of madness or goodness, volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish, hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world.
John Updike, American Novelist (1932-2009)
The school made it very clear that women were entitled to positions of authority. That sense of entitlement allowed us to feel that we have a natural place in leadership in the world. That gave me a mental and emotional confidence.
Linda Vester, American Entertainer (1965-  )
We do not need international help to stop corruption, we need strong Louisiana Leadership.
David Vitter, American Politician (1961-  )
Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.
J. Donald Walters, Author
Hamas, also elected to governmental leadership in Palestine, includes the jihadists, people who have declared war on the United States of America and its ally, Israel.
Zach Wamp, American Politician (1957-  )
The only safe ship in a storm is leadership.
Faye Wattleton, Sociologist (1943-  )
I emphasize self-esteem, self-confidence, and dignity, not as an ideal, but as a real test of community organization. Without leadership development, community organizations do not have staying power.
Paul Wellstone, American Politician (1944-2002)
I believe that the capacity that any organisation needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed, when it is needed.
Margaret J. Wheatley, American Writer
I think a major act of leadership right now, call it a radical act, is to create the places and processes so people can actually learn together, using our experiences.
Margaret J. Wheatley, American Writer
I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant, given the context of any situation.
Margaret J. Wheatley, American Writer
I'm sad to report that in the past few years, ever since uncertainty became our insistent 21st century companion, leadership has taken a great leap backwards to the familiar territory of command and control.
Margaret J. Wheatley, American Writer
Most people associate command and control leadership with the military.
Margaret J. Wheatley, American Writer
Leadership is, among other things, the ability to inflict pain and get away with it - short-term pain for long-term gain.
George Will, Journalist (1941-  )
