John Wooden
What a leader learns after you've learned it all counts most of all.
John Wooden
The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition.
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
Never complain about the officiating. It does no good. During the game I don't want to be fighting two opponents.

John Wooden
Be quick without hurrying.
John Wooden
We can agree to disagree, but we don’t need to be disagreeable.
John Wooden
The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.
John Wooden
Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it.
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
The two hardest things to handle in life are failure and success.
John Wooden
You get ideas across better through listening and the pat-on-the-back method than you do with a kick on the pants.
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
Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference.
John Wooden
