Student Success Statement
“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece. This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

John Wooden
This is an amazing quote by former UCLA basketball
coach John Wooden. Being a dedicated athlete I also believe that you can never compensate
for a lost day of training. If we expect to become better at something then we
should continuously indulge ourselves in that activity with the desire to
improve. If you apply yourself positive results will soon manifest themselves
because of your effort and every day you will improve (even though it may not
seem that way.) Dedication is a large contributing factor to improvement and
depends on how much is exerted. This marvelous quote explains the importance of
dedication and also depicts the countless individuals that have been inspired
by Mr. Wooden.
