Persevering in Life and Football

Paul Bear Bryant tackled every challenge put in front of him to the best of his ability and beyond. It is no surprise that he once said:

"Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. "

Here is more about this legendary figure in college football history:

Bear Bryant
