Success



John Wooden's UCLA Bruins won 9 titles in 10 seasons and 10 in 12, although it wasn't until his sixteenth season that he won his first. He's in the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player (Purdue) and coach.

He didn't preach winning. He preached doing your best, which he considered success. 

What do coaches tell our players before a game? One season I shared this line with middle school girls before each game. 


Bring your best effort every day as a worthy competitor. Everyone wants to win every day. Coach Wooden preached success over winning and won a lot, 88 consecutive games, ten championships. Bring the fight.
