"Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder."
Few people have captured the essence of Alabama sports like Paul "Bear" Bryant, the University of Alabama football coach who was legendary for his grit, tenacity and dignity. While Bryant – and the state of Alabama – will forever be associated with football, his intense passion for competition is shared by athletes and fans across the state's wide variety of sports. So whether you come to Alabama as a spectator, competitor, history buff or avid duffer, you're sure to find a place where sports are about much more than winning or losing. In Alabama, sports are about living.
