I loved John Wooden. In case you don't know who he is, he was the legendary coach of the UCLA Bruins who led them to ten national NCAA basketball titles. But he was more than a great coach. He was a great Christian man who was a leader of men. We will miss him here on earth, but heaven now is his gain. I have listed below some of his well-known quotes. Read these...you will be a better person as you put them to practice.
A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.

Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.
