More quotes by John Wooden
The time to prepare isn't after you have been given the opportunity. It's long before that opportunity arises. Once the opportunity arrives, it's too late to prepare.
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
Working with others makes us much more than we could ever become alone
John Wooden
The greatest ally you have to get things working well and the players performing as a team is the bench. Don't be afraid to use it, either for the star player or anyone else.
John Wooden
The coach must never forget that he is, first of all, a teacher. He must come (be present), see (diagnose), and conquer (correct). He must continuously be exploring for ways to improve himself in order that he may improve others and welcome every person and everything that maybe helpful to him.
John Wooden
It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.
John Wooden
Every person under your supervision is different. They're all different. They're identical in most ways, but not in all ways. You have to study and analyze every individual under your supervision and try to work with them in a way that will be most productive.
John Wooden
It's too late for preparation when opportunity strikes.
John Wooden
The score will take care of itself when you take care of the effort that precedes the score.
John Wooden
Reputation is what others perceive you as being, and their opinion may be right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody truly knows that but you. But you are what matters most.
John Wooden
No one can really honestly be the very best, no one.
John Wooden
Too many people look on outscoring someone as winning, I never tried to get that across to my players.
John Wooden
Decisions are more apt to be accepted when you've listened to suggestions first. I wanted them to see the reason behind what I asked of them, not to do things just because I said so.
John Wooden
No individual should take the blame for a loss, because no individual should get the credit for a victory.
John Wooden
Class is an intangible quality which commands, rather than demands, the respect of others.
John Wooden
Be quick but do not hurry.
John Wooden
Remember this, the choices you make in life, make you.
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
I am just a common man who is true to his beliefs.
John Wooden
In life, worthwhile accomplishments and acquisitions take time. Usually the better the reward, the more time it takes to acquire it.
John Wooden
