John Wooden

I never yelled at my players much. That would have been artificial stimulation, which doesn't last very long. I think it's like love and passion. Passion won't last as long as love. When you are dependent on passion, you need more and more of it to make it work. It's the same with yelling.

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

Happiness begins where selfishness ends.
John Wooden
Image
We don’t have to be superstars or win championships…. All we have to do is learn to rise to every occasion, give our best effort, and make those around us better as we do it.
John Wooden
Image
Never confuse activity with accomplishment.
John Wooden
Image
We’re all imperfect and we all have needs. The weak usually do not ask for help, so they stay weak. If we recognize that we are imperfect, we will ask for help and we will pray for the guidance necessary to bring positive results to whatever we are doing.
John Wooden
Image
It matters not the subject taught, nor all the books on all the shelves, What matters most, yes most of all, is what the teachers are themselves.
John Wooden
Image
Being your best when your best is needed. The ability to enjoy challenges when things become difficult and to derive exhilaration from them.
John Wooden
Image
Your reputation is what you're perceived to be, Your character is what you really are
