The Real Score - John Wooden

A coach can never make a great player of a youngster who isn't potentially great. But a coach can make a great competitor out of any child. And, miraculously, a coach can make adults out of children. For a coach, the final score doesn't say so many points for my team; so many points for theirs. Instead it reads: So many men and women out of so many boys and girls. And, this is a score that is never published. And, this is the score that coaches read to themselves and in which they find real joy ... when the game is over
