10 Team Tips by John Wooden

1. Be thinking at all times.
2. If you do your best, never lose your temper, and never be out-fought, or out-hustled, you’ll have nothing to worry about.
3. Without faith and courage, you are lost.
4. Have respect for, without fear of, every opponent, and confidence without cockiness in regard to yourself.
5. Never be a spectator. Be in the fight at all times.
6. Unselfish team play and team spirit are two of the foremost essentials for our success.
7. We have tough battles ahead. Enjoy the thrill of being in a hard fight.
8. Never stoop to playing dirty-play hard and don’t complain.
9. Be sure you acknowledge and give credit to a teammate who hits you with a scoring pass or for any fine play he may make.
10. Be a competitor. When the going gets tough, really get going.
