Success is a personal matter - only you as an individual can tell if you did everything within your power to give your best effort

Don't get discouraged: it is often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

The choice you make, makes you.

In 1948, I began coaching basketball at UCLA. Each hour of practice we worked very hard. Each day we worked very hard. Each week we worked very hard. Each season we worked very hard. Four fourteen years we worked very hard and didn't win a national championship. However, a national championship was won in the fifteenth year. Another in the sixteenth. And eight more in the following ten years.

Your reputation is what you're perceived to be, Your character is what you really are

I always talked to my players about today. It's the only day that matters.

Ability may get you to the top, nut it takes chracter to keep you there - mental, moral, and physical.
