American former professional football
Roger Thomas Staubach (born February 5, 1942), nicknamed "Roger the Dodger", "Captain America" and "Captain Comeback", is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.
He attended the U.S. Naval Academy where he won the 1963 Heisman Trophy, and after graduation he served in the U.S. Navy, including a tour of duty in Vietnam. Staubach joined Dallas in 1969 and played with the club during all 11 seasons of his career. He led the team to the Super Bowl five times, four as the starting quarterback. He led the Cowboys to victories in Super Bowl VI and Super Bowl XII. Staubach was named Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl VI, becoming the first of four players to win both the Heisman Trophy and Super Bowl MVP, along with Jim Plunkett, Marcus Allen, and Desmond Howard. He was named to the Pro Bowl six times during his 11-year NFL career. He was the executive chairman of Jones Lang LaSalle until his retirement in 2018. He is regarded as one of the best quarterbacks of all time.
In racing, we have a better chance of it happening quicker because we have attracted good people to come to work for us. It's the beginning of a great adventure, and we're looking forward to it.
I hate to admit that. I want to win every race, but I know that's not possible. To be in the top 25 is realistic if we have any luck this year. But anything to be in the chase or something like that is very unrealistic.
I'm excited about being an owner, it's got my competitive juices going. I'm scared, but excited as well.
At our company, our Design and Construction Consulting Service Team not only helps eliminate the risks inherent in the construction process, they typically save our clients 5% - 10% on overall construction costs. They also help make sure projects come in on time.
As a part owner, I'm going to be not only an admirer... but a nervous wreck.
There are a lot of people who touch the customer.
In the commercial real estate business, brokers spearhead major accounts. But they wouldn't have customers without the people who oversee construction.
Even though they are paid differently, everyone has to feel appreciated.
If NASCAR racing gets any more exciting, I may not be able to stand it.
There's always something special when the service academies play each other that's not in any other game. This is not a regular game, and everyone involved knows that.
If you don't have trust inside your company, then you can't transfer it to your customers.
Discrimination is a disease.
You can never give up-athletics taught me that. You must work hard, prepare, learn from your losses and continue to fight until the very end.
I have a lot to learn about NASCAR. But I've learned if you have the right people in the right places doing the right things, you can be successful at whatever you do.
It's okay to have personal ambitions, but you have to take someone with you.
It takes a lot of un-spectacular preparation, to get spectacular results
At a car dealership, the person who sells the car is the hero, and also gets the commission. But if the mechanics don't service that car well, the customer won't return.
Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts.
I enjoy sex as much as Joe Namath, only I do it with one girl.
In any team sport, the best teams have consistency and chemistry.
It was not a friendly game, and Jerry certainly did not have friendliness in his eyes. He had an extra mean streak that day. He was out of control and probably should have been ejected.
Every time I stepped on the field, I believed my team was going to walk off the winner, somehow, someway.
In business or in football, it takes a lot of unspectacular preparation to produce spectacular results.
Class is striving hard to be the best at what you do while taking the needs of others into consideration
Have the right people in the right places, working together
Winning isn't getting ahead of others, it is getting ahead of yourself.
All of us get knocked down, but it's resiliency that really matters. All of us do well when things are going well, but the thing that distinguishes athletes is the ability to do well in times of great stress, urgency and pressure.
Nothing good comes in life or athletics unless a lot of hard work has preceded the effort. Only temporary success is achieved by taking short cuts.
Spectacular achievements come from unspectacular preparation.
There are no traffic jams along the extra mile.
Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.
