Lou Holtz was well known for his coaching technique, and success at Note Dame, has this statement associated with him:
“For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.”
This powerful statement defines teamwork. Working together for the good of the pack, or in Holtz’s case, the team. The example of how the wolves that individually are smaller and less powerful than mountain lions, for example, work together to take down prey much larger than an individual wolf seems obvious enough and their advantage is in collaborating with their pack.
The book, American Wolf, brings deep insights into wolves and their life daily life in a pack where a strong leader is very important.
Even though many associate this quote with Lou Holtz it was originally used by Rudyard Kipling in his poem: "NOW this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky; And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die."
"NOW this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky; And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die."
