Success
After another national championship by UCLA coach John Wooden, a reporter asked him if this was his most successful year coaching. He responded by telling the reporter that he wouldn't know the answer to that for another twenty years. He continued by saying he would let the reporter know how good of job he did when his players became successful members of society. John Wooden knew that you can't underestimate the impact you have on your player's lives. You are with these kids at their emotional highs and emotional lows and these are the times that kids are the most impressionable. Very few teachers have access to these kids at such teachable moments. As a coach i feel very fortunate to be in the situation i am in.
