Team Attitude--Teachable


Teachable--Coach Wooden says, it's after we know it all that we learn the most. I realize this daily. Every day I realize how much I don't know. We work daily to make sure we are teaching. Coach Meyer stresses that the teacher appears when the pupil is ready. Here are few more thoughts on being teachable. They apply to coaches, staff and players:

  • You must want to learn.
  • Talent levels out fast, but the intelligent people move on.
  • Players without brains don't become great players.
  • Develop your mind or someone will own you.
  • Treasure this day. You will be taught it's up to you to learn.
  • Be a sponge--soak up all you can. Good players can take criticism. Great players can take criticism and learn.
  • Do you soak up ideas like a sponge? Or do you think you know everything.
  • Knowledge is power.
