More quotes by John Wooden
Big things are accomplished only through the perfection of minor details.
John Wooden
Adversity often produces an unexpected opportunity. Look for it ! Appreciate and utilize it! This is difficult to do if you're feeling sorry for yourself because you're faced with adversity.
John Wooden
Once you become a good person, then you have a chance of becoming a good basketball player.
John Wooden
Winning and losing aren't all they're cracked up to be, but the trip to the destination is.
John Wooden
You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By becoming a little better each and every day, over a period of time, you will become a lot better.
John Wooden
Loyalty is very important when things get a little tough, as they often do when the challenge is great. Loyalty is a powerful force in producing one's individual best and more so in producing a team's best.
John Wooden
Motivating through fear may work in the short term to get people to do something, but over the long run I believe personal pride is a much greater motivator. It produces far better results that last for a much longer time.
John Wooden
Kindness makes for much better teamwork.
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
Our land is everything to us.... I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. We remember that our grandfathers paid for it - with their lives.
John Wooden
There are little details in everything you do, and if you get away from any one of the little details, you're not teaching the thing as a whole. For it is little things which, together, make the whole. This, I think, is extremely important.
John Wooden
Flexibility is the key to stability.
John Wooden
Remember this, the choices you make in life, make you.
John Wooden
We may not be the best conditioned team in the country, but our players think they are.
John Wooden
Be quick, but don't hurry.
John Wooden
Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference.
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
Be quick but do not hurry.
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
With the experience to judge, one need not pre-judge.
John Wooden
