Vince Lombardi had had enough. In his first year as coach of the Green Bay Packers, he was frustrated by the performance of his football players. In true Lombardi form, he blew his whistle and yelled “gather around” to his players. He held up a football, pointed to it, and said, “Gentlemen, this is a football.” Coach Lombardi knew that without a firm foundation of the basics of the game, his team would never be successful. For the Green Bay Packers, winning started with the basics. The turnaround was stunning. In his tenure as the coach of the Packers, he won four NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls.
