John Wooden citáty

John Robert Wooden byl americký basketbalový hráč a trenér. Do historie basketbalu se zapsal ziskem deseti titulů v univerzitní lize NCAA s týmem Kalifornské univerzity UCLA Bruins. Kromě toho vedl svůj tým v zápasech k 88 vítězstvím v nepřetržité sérii. Stal se tak historicky nejúspěšnějším univerzitním trenérem a prvním člověkem, který byl uveden do Basketbalové síně slávy jako trenér i hráč.

Podle jména čtvrti Los Angeles, kde působil, byl přezdíván „Čaroděj z Westwoodu“. Byl však velmi skromným, decentním člověkem, a tuto přezdívku neměl rád. Wikipedia
