More quotes by John Wooden
Fairness is giving all people the treatment they earn and deserve. It doesn't mean treating everyone alike.
John Wooden
I don't think I was a fine game coach I think I was a good practice coach.
John Wooden
Discipline of others isn't punishment. You discipline to help, to improve, to correct, to prevent, not to punish, humiliate, or retaliate.
John Wooden
We can plan a roadtrip or a workday down to the last detail but the unexpected will always arise. If we are not malleable, we will get left behind.
John Wooden
When I am through learning, I am through.
John Wooden
Remember this, the choices you make in life, make you.
John Wooden
I constantly caution our teams: 'Play your game, just play your game. Eventually, if you play your game, stick to your style, class will tell in the end.' This does not mean that we will always outscore our opponent, but it does insure that we will not beat ourselves.
John Wooden
The team with the most talent usually wins.
John Wooden
You must have respect, which is a part of love, for those under your supervision. Then they will do what you ask and more.
John Wooden
I don't believe in looking back. If you make a decision that you think is the proper one at a time, then that's the correct decision.
John Wooden
A good banker isn't careless with pennies a good leader isn't sloppy about details.
John Wooden
Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
John Wooden
The most powerful leadership tool you have is your personal example.
John Wooden
Be quick but do not hurry.
John Wooden
It's not how big you are, it's how big you play.
John Wooden
As long as you try your best, you are never a failure. That is, unless you blame others.
John Wooden
Good coaching is about leadership and instilling respect in your players. Dictators lead through fear - good coaches do not.
John Wooden
The true leader isn't really looking for leadership. He's trying to set an example and be in the proper way to get the most productive results and don't realize it. When the followers get something done, if the leader has been what he should, they'll feel like they did it, not him. That's the way it should be.
John Wooden
You can respect a person without necessarily liking that individual.
John Wooden
Teamwork is not a preference, it is a requirement.
John Wooden
