  • I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad, but I didn't try to run their lives.

    "Wooden Remembers Booster" by Neil Amdur, www.nytimes.com. February 4, 1982.
  • Never did I want to call the first time-out during a game. Never.

  • 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.

There is only one kind of life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere.

    John Wooden, Jack Tobin, Bill Walton (2004). “They Call Me Coach”, McGraw Hill Professional
