Authors Note: This piece is about a famous quote from vince lobardi saying, "Never change a winning game always change a losing one," and its meaning.
All around the world there’s coaches that are teaching people of all ages to learn the lessons of the game. There’s more to just a game then running through the plays, you have to play with heart and dedication. Just the thrill of being in the game should be enough to keep you going. Sadly you can’t always win every time you play and you have to learn from the mistakes you make, which is what Vince Lombardi a former football coach meant as he said, “Never change a winning game always change a losing one”. Vince Lombardi is a legendary coach who inspires people to not fix something that’s not broken and fix something that is.
The reasoning behind this quote means never change something you do right only wrong. This quote isn’t exactly a true statement. Reason being is because in every game there’s something you need to improve on. Nobody’s perfect if we were we wouldn’t need practice, but that’s impossible.
Same words and meanings of Vince Lombardi were also said by Bill Tilden(American Tennis player) back in the early 19 hundreds . Both of these men both thought when they won, “hey it worked so why change it,” and when they lost they thought, “Find the mistakes made and change them.”
When hearing this quote it brings back memories of my own father after every game I played, tell me the good things and the things that need to be improved. There was never one day that he didn’t tell me I didn’t do anything wrong. Even the littlest of things such as you moved your leg when you were shooting, can change a game.
Coaches aren’t just teaching you about a sport many things they say and do, can relate to your everyday life. For example in this quote when it says “don’t lose a winning game only choose a losing one,” what life lesson you can take from that is if you’re getting good grades keep doing what you’re doing but if you’re not then there’s something you can change. That is just one perspective many more meanings can be taken from this quote. Another is this quote also makes me think of a husband trying to fix the washing machine when nothing is truly broken. Then he tries to fix it and it gets worse, when really he should be calling an expert. Just goes to show don’t break something if it isn’t broken.
Vince Lombardi worldwide known coach teaches people everywhere the value of the game. He is a legendary coach who led his team to many victories as well as super bowls. A final message to take from this is how to look at a sports game as well as the game of life.
