Knute Rochne



I watched a movie about Knute Rochne.  Even though he was a football coach, all educators have much to learn from him. 

Some quotes:

A team in an ordinary frame of mind will do only ordinary things. In the proper emotional state, a team will do extraordinary things. To reach this state, a team must have a motive that has an extraordinary appeal to them.
