More quotes by John Wooden
The courageous struggle for a noble cause should be considered success itself.
John Wooden
It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
John Wooden
The outstanding coach is a teacher that gets all his squad to accept the role that he considers to be the most important for the welfare of all.
John Wooden
Motivating through fear may work in the short term to get people to do something, but over the long run I believe personal pride is a much greater motivator. It produces far better results that last for a much longer time.
John Wooden
Give me 100 percent. You can't make up for a poor effort today by giving 110 percent tomorrow. You don't have 110 percent. You only have 100 percent, and that's what I want from you right now.
John Wooden
Great leaders are always out front with a banner, instead of behind with a whip.
John Wooden
A good banker isn't careless with pennies a good leader isn't sloppy about details.

John Wooden
Acquire peace of mind by making the effort to become the best of which you are capable.
John Wooden
Too often, we just ask for help instead of really giving thanks for the many things that we've had and are so helpful to us that we did nothing to deserve, so we should give thanks each and every day and pray for guidance in helping us along the proper path.
John Wooden
We are all equal in that we can all strive to become the best we are capable of becoming. We can always improve but we shouldn't compare ourselves to others. We get in trouble when we start trying to measure up to someone else.
John Wooden
Be quick, but don't hurry.
John Wooden
You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By becoming a little better each and every day, over a period of time, you will become a lot better.
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
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
Opponents are working very hard to defeat us. Let's not do it for them by defeating ourselves from within.
John Wooden
Any structure must have a strong foundation. The cornerstones anchor the foundation. For some reason the cornerstones that I chose to begin with I never changed.
John Wooden
Reputation is what others perceive you as being, and their opinion may be right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody truly knows that but you. But you are what matters most.
John Wooden
