This is what I've been staring at all week:
"Things turn out best for people who make the best of out of the way things turn out."
John Wooden said that. He's from Martinsville, Indiana. I'm from Franklin, Indiana.
John Wooden is a renown basketball coach. He won more NCAA championships than any other coach. He is known for teaching his players to be every bit as good of people off the court as on. He coaches Loyalty and Integrity.
He is known for telling Bill Walton to cut his hair, and for beginning each season with a stern lecture on shoes and socks.
The popular sportswriter Rick Riley once wrote a poignant column on John Wooden's enduring dedication to one woman, his late wife Nellie. In this column is the statement, "There's never been a finer man in American sports than John Wooden, or a finer coach."
So I followed Coach Wooden's guidance... Though somehow I think he would be disappointed.
