STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT                                                               "What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.''                                                                                                                                                     What i think John Wooden meant is that even though you are a basketball player you shouldn't consider yourself as much, because you are still a human being like everyone else. I also think this quote depends mostly on your personality because being a basketball player doesn't matter but the type of person you are. For example the video we watched in class we saw how a basketball player on the opposing team passed the ball to another basketball player on the opposing team gave him a chance to win... BEINg nice caring or nion selfish is far more important.
