What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.
John WoodenGood coaching is about leadership and instilling respect in your players. Dictators lead through fear - good coaches do not.
John WoodenWhen people ask me now if I miss coaching UCLA basketball games, the national championships, the attention, the trophies, and everything that goes with them, I tell them this: I miss the practices.
John WoodenPromise yourself you will talk health, happiness, and prosperity as often as possible. Promise to think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best in yourself and others. Promise to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements in the future.
