Words of a Coach

I was re-reading an email sent to me some time ago about coach John Wooden, basketball coach at UCLA for many years. He is the sort of coach and sort of man that we rarely hear about any more. Here are some of the things he taught his players and others during his career and still does.

Discipline yourselves and others won't need to. Never lie, never cheat, never steal. Earn the right to be proud and confident.

He also taught his players high standards and proper speach. If a player used profanity he was through playing for the day. All together, a great man.

Thought for the day: "The worst things you can do for the ones you love are things they could and should do for themselves." -- John Wooden.
