I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad, but I didn't try to run their lives.
John WoodenMy philosophy of defense is to keep the pressure on an opponent until you get to his emotions
John WoodenDon't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability. Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are. Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.
John WoodenNever try to be better than someone else. Learn from others, and try to be the best you can be. Success is the by-product of that preparation.
John WoodenEach of us must make the effort to contribute to the best of our ability according to our individual talents. And then we put all the individual talents together for the highest good of the group. Understanding that the good of the group comes first is fundamental to being a highly productive member of a team.
