I never let our players get satisfied, I never let our Coaches get satisfied, I was never satisfied. We can always do it better.
John WoodenLead, don't drive. And give credit. Don't blame. If an officer on your team suggested something and it worked well, give them credit. If it doesn't work well, you take the blame because you made the decision.
