Best 12 quotes of Morgan Wootten on MyQuotes

Basketball is a game and their primary reason for participating in the sport is simply for the pleasure they experience while playing. Don't be afraid to lose. Have fun while you're busy playing hard and playing smart.

Evaluate wins and losses objectively, focusing more on effort and execution than on the outcome of the game

I fell in love with coaching. I loved interacting with young people, having the opportunity to make a tremendous impression on them.

It's often been said that you learn more from losing than you do from winning. I think, if you're wise, you learn from both. You learn a lot from a loss. You learn what is it that we're not doing to get to where we want to go. It really gets your attention and it really motivates the work ethic of your team when you're not doing well.

Leadership starts at the top.

Play hard, play smart, play together, have fun.

The big thing is to make a winning effort. Im not obsessed with wins.

To be successful in coaching you have to treat your team like a family. The leader needs backing from everyone.

True basketball coaches are great teachers and you do not humiliate, you do not physically go after, you do not push or shove, you do not berate, if you are a true coach. If you humiliate or curse them, that won't do it. Coaches like that are not coaches.

You are the real teachers. You have these children when they are at their emotional peaks and lows. That's when they are the most pliable. It doesn't take any intelligence to send a kid home with his head hanging between his knees. But to send him home with his head up every night might show a little coaching.

You get to do things for people who will never pay you back and they say you never have had a perfect day until you've done something for someone who will never pay you back.

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.
