The Separating Factor Is Character

Former Cowboys coach Tom Landry talks about character in his book called "The Landry Legend."

Coach Landry talks about what he looked for in players as his teams improved:

"When I first started coaching I thought mostly of physical ability; quickness, agility, control, strength, and explosiveness."

Then, as we developed into a stronger team, character became more important. The character and competitiveness of a player become the more controlling factors."

"When you reach a championship level, what separates you is basically the character on your team. If you have enough character, it'll usually pull you out of tough situations."
