More quotes by John Wooden
You have not taught until they have learned.
John Wooden
A life not lived for others is not a life, a game not played for others is not a game.
John Wooden
When I was coaching I always considered myself a teacher. Teachers tend to follow the laws of learning better than coaches who do not have any teaching background. A coach is nothing more than a teacher. I used to encourage anyone who wanted to coach to get a degree in teaching so they could apply those principles to athletics.
John Wooden
The player who puts the ball through the hoop has ten hands.
John Wooden
One of the greatest motivating factors is the pat on the back, although with some individuals, you have to make the pat a little lower or a little harder.
John Wooden
I think that in any group activity - whether it be business, sports, or family - there has to be leadership or it wont be successful.
John Wooden
The best competition I have is against myself to become better
John Wooden
Make each day a masterpiece.
John Wooden
Don't whine, complain, or make excuses.
John Wooden
Don't look for the big, quick improvement. Seek the small improvement one day at time. That's the only way it happens-and when it happens, it lasts.
John Wooden
There are no big things, only a logical accumulation of little things done at a very high standard of performance.
John Wooden
Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating...too often fathers neglect it because they get so caught up in making a living they forget to make a life.
John Wooden
I've never stopped trying to do what's right. I'm not doing it to earn favor with God. I'm doing it because it's the right thing to do.
John Wooden
It is difficult for young players to learn - because of the great emphasis on records - but, ideally, the joy and frustration of sport should come from the performance itself, not the score. While he is playing, the worst thing a player can think about in terms of concentration - and therefore of success - is losing. The next worst is winning.
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
Never mistake activity for achievement.
John Wooden
Show me what you can do don't tell me what you can do.
John Wooden
There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.
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
We will begin by learning how to tie our shoes.
John Wooden
