More quotes by John Wooden
The score will take care of itself when you take care of the effort that precedes the score.
John Wooden
Discipline of others isn't punishment. You discipline to help, to improve, to correct, to prevent, not to punish, humiliate, or retaliate.
John Wooden
Not everyone is equipped to be a leader, but in a sense, everyone is a leader to someone, even though you're not equipped. I think parents are a leader to youngsters, teacher are leaders, coaches are leaders, businessmen are leaders.

John Wooden
There are three things an athlete must do. You must be in physical condition ... You must execute properly and quickly the fundamentals ... and you must have eagerness to sacrifice personal interests or glory for the welfare of the team.
John Wooden
Always think of passing the ball before shooting it.
John Wooden

John Wooden
Opponents are working very hard to defeat us. Let's not do it for them by defeating ourselves from within.
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
Promise to wear a cheerful appearance at all times and give every person you meet a smile.
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.
