"Positive thinking is the key to success in business, education, pro football, anything that you can mention. I go out there thinking that I'm going to complete every pass"
About this Quote
The second line tightens the claim into something more honest and revealing. “I go out there thinking that I'm going to complete every pass” isn’t naïveté so much as a quarterback’s job description. You can’t play the position while budgeting for failure; hesitation is measurable. The subtext is less “good vibes attract touchdowns” and more “commitment prevents paralysis.” It’s a self-imposed script that keeps the decision fast and the arm loose, even when reality (coverage, pressure, weather, your own limitations) is ready to rebut you.
There’s also a subtle dodge in how the quote moralizes performance. If success is primarily a product of thinking positively, then losing can be recast as a psychological lapse rather than a collision of talent, preparation, luck, and opponent quality. That’s motivational and marketable - especially from an athlete turned public voice - but it also flatters the culture’s preference for individual controllables over messier truths.
