John Wooden was a legendary coach at UCLA. He defines success as "Success is peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you are capable of". Take a look at his success pyramid that is so simple, yet profound. In this TED talk, he talks about the difference between succeeding and winning.
His three rules for the players that I found very interesting are:
1. Never be late
2. Not one word of profanity
3. Never criticise a teammate
His other 3s that is so profound are:
1. Don't whine
2. Don't complain
3. Don't give excuses
and just go out and give your best.
And here are his 17 famous Woodenisms.
