About this quote

This quote suggests that extraordinary achievements do not happen in a vacuum. They require a significant chance to arise, coupled with the readiness to seize that moment. Success happens when preparation meets the right circumstances. When a rare opening presents itself, it gives ordinary people the platform to perform beyond their usual limits and create lasting, memorable history.

Herb Brooks delivered these words to the United States men's ice hockey team before their famous match against the Soviet Union at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.
