After listening to many coaches talk about program development and character over the past few months at many clinics.
I wonder how do You define success in your Program? And what do you do to achieve it?

John Wooden- "Success is the peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming"
What do you do to achieve it? Do the little things right (finishing drills, showing up on time, turning in homework on time and complete etc).
Teach them how to be good people (please and thank you, yes sir no sir, caring for others and theirselves, DOING THE RIGHT THING)
and lastly teach them how to work together to accomplish a common goal.

What he said...I've read Wooden's book five or six times now, and I highly recomend it. Success is a by-product of doing things right, and doing things right is a choice.

Yeah, on this topic there is nothing to compare to John Wooden. Starts and ends with him.

I don't think there is a better definition of success than Wooden's, especially when trying to change a losing culture at a school.

I agree. When I was a young coach it was about the destination as I've aged you spend a lot more time on the journey, seeing kids develop into men that you have helped mold is an awesome experience.

While ultimately, the number of wins and losses keeps us employed, what really matters most to me is seeing a former player after he has graduated and him telling me he is a better boyfriend/husband/son/father because of me. For me, it's about building relationships because when it's all said and done, that's all that really matters.

Wooden is an obvious choice...I like Maxwell too.

When I sent out my program manual looking for a HC job I included a two page section with all of the ways we define success. If I could find that Id share it.
