A doer makes mistakes. If you’re not doing, you’re not learning. Everybody makes mistakes. It’s what you do with them that counts.
Academics are enduring. Getting an education is a #1 priority. Wooden made it a point to his players that they were first and foremost a student (the student part of “student athlete”). Wooden said, “If you let social activity take precedence over the other two (education and sports), then you’re not going to have any for very long.” Wooden also said, “Sports are kind of like passion and that’s temporary in many cases, but academics — that’s like true love and that’s enduring.”Agree to disagree, but don’t be disagreeable. According to Wooden, “We can agree to disagree, but we don’t need to be disagreeable.”Be on time, no profanity, and don’t criticize. Wooden learned this from his Dad. He had three rules for the students he coached: 1) never be late (start on time and close on time), 2) not one word of profanity, and 3) never criticize a teammate.It’s not whether you won or lost, it’s if you played your best game. If you won, but didn’t play your best, then you didn’t really win. If you lost, but you played your best, then you didn’t really lose. Wooden said, “Never mention winning. My idea is that you can lose when you outscore somebody in a game, and you can win when you’re outscored.”
