Per Brainy Quotes

The 1st period is won by the best technician. The 2nd period is won by the kid in the best shape. The 3rd period is won by the kid with the biggest heart.

Dan Gable

Toast appears to be right.

In Dan Gable's book he denies ever saying that, as it was not really his philosophy at all, he never understood why he was credited with that saying by everyone.......although he did say it may be a mix of things he may have said over time......so not sure who you would credit the actual quote to.....
