Nobody is defeated until he starts blaming somebody else. My advice to you is don't fix the blame. Fix the problem.
John WoodenThe most important key to achieving great success is to decide upon your goal and launch, get started, take action, move.
John WoodenOne of my constant reminders was, "End practice on a happy note." I wanted the boys to want to come out to practice, and I wanted them to get a certain amount of pleasure out of basketball. It's a game. It should be fun. So I always tried to counterbalance any criticism in practice with a bit of praise. I wanted my players to feel that the worst punishment I could give them was to deny them the privilege of practicing. If they did not want to practice, I did not want them there.
