Winning Isn ’t Everything, Nor Should It Be

The oft-quoted sports motto, “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing,” often misattributed to Vince Lombardi, was actually first propounded in a slightly different form by Red Sanders, UCLA’s football coach, in 1950 in a physical education workshop at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Bu t Lombardi didn’t seem to mind taking credit for the slogan, and repeated it throughout much of the Green Bay Packers’ string of successful NFL seasons in the 1960s. I am old enough to remember that team in grade school, with Bart Starr at quarterback.
