Our titles would not have been possible without the unselfishness displayed by all our teams, the team wins, not the individuals
John Wooden
Teamwork is not a preference, it is a requirement.
John Wooden

John Wooden
Be quick but do not hurry.
John Wooden
Loyalty is very important when things get a little tough, as they often do when the challenge is great. Loyalty is a powerful force in producing one's individual best and more so in producing a team's best.
John Wooden

John Wooden
When the legs go, the heart soon follows

John Wooden
A life not lived for others is not a life, a game not played for others is not a game.
John Wooden
Leaders must have patience for those under your supervision. Don't expect too much too soon. Maybe it was easy for you, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy for somebody else. Be sure you have patience.
John Wooden
Decisions are more apt to be accepted when you've listened to suggestions first. I wanted them to see the reason behind what I asked of them, not to do things just because I said so.
John Wooden
Confidence - Poise and confidence are not possible unless you have prepared correctly. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Poise and confidence are a natural result of proper preparation.
John Wooden
Passion is temporary. It doesn't last long. Love is enduring. And that's the important thing. If we all had love in our lives to the degree that we should, it would be much happier.
John Wooden
Winning breeds winning.
John Wooden
