For Swimmers -and- Parents: One of the greatest coaches of ALL time: John Wooden

This is about 17 minutes long, but it is SO GOOD!!!

(Coach Wooden speaks at a pretty good clip, lol, so I found the subtitle feature -quite- helpful!)








"3 Main Rules: Never be late. Not one word of profanity. Never criticize a teammate"


3 more: "Don't whine - Don't complain - Don't make excuses"


"If you make the effort to do the best you can regularly, the results will be about what they should be."


"The journey is better than the end." - Cervantes

Wooden: "The practices are the journey, the games are the end."


"Do the best of which you are capable."
