Student Success Statement #8

"What you are as a person is for more important than what you are as a basketball player" is a quote made by the UCLA coach John Wooden. What this quote means is that being a good person is better than being the best basketball player in the world. This quote is saying that you should care more about being good in the inside than being good in the court. You could be the best basketball player ever but what matters the most is being good in the inside. This is coming from a basketball coach. He expects the best from his players but he cares more about them being good people rather than just a good player but with a horrible personality. This should go to everyone. Being a nice person is great. This is a great quote to remember since it makes you remind yourself that maybe you're not that good at sport, but what you are good at is being a good person. That is what really matters the most. Be a CTR person all the time. In and out of the court.
