Student Success Statement: John Wooden

Student Success Statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make practice a masterpiece. This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

John Wooden

Reflection: Well Mr. Wooden has a point you need to be able to do your best on everything to make it count. You have to do what is right and choose what is right. When you are right you are right. Always do your best never less because you are amazing in every way if you just aim for it. Aim high because that’s where you ought to be. Make a name for yourself become a good role model and aim high.

“The Three Don’ts”

Don’t: Whine, Complain, Make Excuses.

John Wooden

Reflection: Well Mr. Wooden makes a valid argument because it takes hard work and dedication to be good at anything. You don’t have to do any of these things but you do need to make sure you’re on track with studies. Don’t become someone you’re not proud, learn a little about the three don’ts.

“The Three Nevers”

Ø Never Lie

Ø Never Cheat

Ø Never Steal

John Wooden

Reflection: Well Mr. Wooden has a valid argument but what if you have to because you have no options, you need to only do all of that when deemed extremely necessary. You need to take a step back and review your options. Become someone you’re proud of. Do what’s right.
