About This Quote

This is one of the most quoted sayings in Tony Gonzalez's autobiography. Tony Gonzalez is considered one of the greatest Tight Ends in NFL history. He spent his entire career on the successful football team, the Kansas City Chiefs. He retired after eleven years, with over 11,000 yards receiving, and 3 touchdowns.

This quote is very inspiring because it shows the importance of working hard every day. Not just working hard for a few weeks or months, but working hard every day. This quote also teaches us that it doesn't matter how many yards you have to catch the ball, it only matters how many yards you catch in a game.

Because when you get your yards in a game you are considered to be doing extra work by the coaches. So don't worry about how many yards you need to catch or how many catches you must get to get on the field, remember to work hard every day and don't focus on the outcome of getting these numbers but rather work on doing your best at each point along the way!
