" What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player."

                                  John Wooden

Reflection: this quote means to be more than what you are, don't listen to the negative complement  people tell you listen to the positive  complements.

Example of this quote: if you want to join a sport go ahead and tryout nobody is stopping you from what you want to do. If people tell you that you can't do it just follow your heart and join the sport you want to join no matter what people say.
