More quotes by John Wooden
Promise yourself that you will talk health, happiness, and prosperity as often as possible.
John Wooden
First, do not betray yourself. Second, do not betray those you lead.
John Wooden
Understand there is a price to be paid for achieving anything of significance. You must be willing to pay the price.
John Wooden
Promise yourself you will talk health, happiness, and prosperity as often as possible. Promise to think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best in yourself and others. Promise to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements in the future.
John Wooden
Dwelling in the past prevents doing something in the present.
John Wooden
My assistants and I often would spend more time planning a practice than the actual practice itself
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
When I am through learning, I am through.
John Wooden
Don't permit fear of failure to prevent effort. We are all imperfect and will fail on occasions, but fear of failure is the greatest failure of all.
John Wooden
Condition comes from hard work during practice and proper mental and moral conduct between practices.
John Wooden
Always think of passing the ball before shooting it.
John Wooden
The most powerful leadership tool you have is your personal example.
John Wooden
There is no substitute for hard work. If you're looking for the easy way, if you're looking for the trick, you might get by for a while, but you will not be developing the talents that lie within you. There is simply no substitute for work.
John Wooden
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
We can agree to disagree, but we don’t need to be disagreeable.
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
The team with the most talent usually wins.
John Wooden
Being true to ourselves doesn't make us people of integrity. Charles Manson was true to himself, and as a result, he rightly is spending the rest of his life in prison. Ultimately, being true to our Creator gives us the purest form of integrity.
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
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
