John Wooden

Doing the best you are capable of doing is victory in itself, and less than that is defeat.
John Wooden
Great leaders are always out front with a banner, instead of behind with a whip.
John Wooden
When you choose to become part of a team, you cease to exist as an individual.
John Wooden
The greatest failure of all is the failure to act when action is needed

Players with fight never lose a game, they just run out of time
John Wooden
Make no mistake, I always want to win, but I never fight with an opponent. My fight is within me it is the struggle to be the best I can be at whatever I do.
John Wooden
Promise yourself to make all your friends know there is something in them that is special and that you value.

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
John Wooden
