John Wooden's ideas on Discipline, collected in one place with clear source context.
"A man who is not in condition is a man who is not prepared."
"Condition is the second block in the heart of the Pyramid. It involves the physical, the mental, and the moral."
"Condition: Mental-Moral-Physical. Rest, exercise and diet must be considered. Moderation must be practiced. Dissipation must be eliminated."
Source: Book: Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections on and off the Court
"Discipline in your diet is just as important as discipline in your practice."
"Proper conditioning is a matter of discipline and self-control."
"Rest, exercise, and diet. If you neglect one, the others will eventually fail you."
"You can't be in condition if you're not getting your rest."
"Discipline yourself, and others won't need to."
"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"
"The star of the team is the team. We over me."
"Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character."
"Failure to prepare is preparing to fail."
"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."
