How about some more Wooden quotes.
Certain CBrs wont like or understand this one.
“Being average means you are as close to the bottom as you are to the top.”
― John Wooden, Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court

And one for the Bronco Haters
“Although there is no progress without change, not all change is progress.”
― John Wooden, Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court

And a couple every BYU fan should embrace
“If I were ever prosecuted for my religion, I truly hope there would be enough evidence to convict me.”
― John Wooden, Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court

“It is most difficult, in my mind, to separate any success, whether it be
in your profession, your family, or as in my case, in basketball, from
religion.”
― John Wooden

Something else for the Bronco Haters
“Remember, results aren't the criteria for success — it's the effort made for achievement that is most important.”
― John Wooden, Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success: Building Blocks for a Better Life

“A coach’s primary function should be not to make better players, but to make better people.”
― John Wooden, A Game Plan for Life

“It’s always about focusing not on the mistakes but on the lessons learned from them.”
― John Wooden, A Game Plan for Life

One for those that freak out over recruiting
“He told me that he always insisted on two things above all else in his players: That they were always trying to improve and always willing to put the team above themselves. If they weren’t willing to do those things, he didn’t want them at UCLA.”
― John Wooden, A Game Plan for Life

And last - one for the armchair ball boys that don't understand a thing about competition.
“Coach Wooden never mentioned winning. It was always, “Fellas, we’ve got to play to our best. Let’s do that.” That’s a lot different from saying, “Fellas, we’ve got to win.” A lot different.”
― John Wooden, A Game Plan for Life
