More quotes by John Wooden

Image
Every person under your supervision is different. They're all different. They're identical in most ways, but not in all ways. You have to study and analyze every individual under your supervision and try to work with them in a way that will be most productive.
John Wooden

If we, as coaches, aren't teachers, we are nothing
John Wooden
Image
There are three things an athlete must do. You must be in physical condition ... You must execute properly and quickly the fundamentals ... and you must have eagerness to sacrifice personal interests or glory for the welfare of the team.
John Wooden

John Wooden

Others may have more ability than you, they may be larger, faster, quicker, better jumpers ... but no one should be your superior in respect to team spirit, loyalty, enthusiasm, cooperation, determination, industriousness, fight effort, and character.
John Wooden
Image
There are little details in everything you do, and if you get away from any one of the little details, you're not teaching the thing as a whole. For it is little things which, together, make the whole. This, I think, is extremely important.
John Wooden
Image
Don't be afraid to fail. The greatest failure of all is failure to act when action is needed. Use the information that you've acquired in the past through the experiences you've had and act with self-control - but act.
John Wooden
Image
Why do we dread adversity when we know that facing it is the only way to become stronger, smarter, better?
John Wooden
Image
Next to love, balance is the most important thing.
John Wooden
Image
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
Image
The problem with new is you don't have time for the old ones.
John Wooden
