Team doctors’ jobs those days were to keep you on the field  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) Most exciting for me was to make the Pro Bowl in 14 of 15 years  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) I was always the last one chosen for football games in Central Park  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) I’ve caught fish as big as I am. I’ve caught marlin close to 300 pounds.  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) Perseverance isn’t just the willingness to work hard. It’s that plus the willingness to be stubborn about your own belief in yourself.  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) The basketball coach cut me within two days, so I was back in the pool. I was the first one in the wall after the first 25 yards, but the last one out because I didn’t have a flip turn.  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) Our coach was absolutely out of his head. He must have read Bear Bryant’s book. We had 78 players out. The first day 35 quit. Twenty quit the second day. We ended with 17 players. It was depressing  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) When a man lies, he murders some part of the world  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) I can ski out of my back door  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) I just wanted to be an athlete  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) I probably played hurt a lot more times than I should have  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) It took me a while to realize that basketball wasn’t football  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) Nobody cared about swimming.

I do know, from my own experience, that our chance of succeeding is much greater when we organize and take charge of our lives. When we are willing to make decisions, we aggressively pursue those things in life that are important to us  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) I was captain and should have set the example. I would lift a minimum of weights. Mine was natural physical strength. I always thought quickness and agility were much more important  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) We need to know where we are going and how we plan to get there. Our dreams and aspirations must be translated into real and tangible goals with priorities and time frames  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) The winning team has a dedication. It will have a core of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) The basketball coach cut me within two days, so I was back in the pool. I was the first one in the wall after the first 25 yards, but the last one out because I didn’t have a flip turn  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) I’ve caught fish as big as I am. I’ve caught marlin close to 300 pounds  (Merlin Olsen Quotes) After a few games I knew I was going to be able to compete. The idea of being a star never crossed my mind  (Merlin Olsen Quotes)
