A CAMP STAFF MESSAGE FROM COACH WOODEN

As we start camp today, we pass out out staff handbook. The follow is on the last page of the handbook and has been for the past 13 summers at Lady Tiger Basketball Camp.

IT IS NOT ABOUT WINNING OR LOSING

“It is difficult for young players to learn because of the great emphasis on records. Ideally, the joy and frustration of sport should come from performance itself, not the score. While he is playing, the worst thing a player can think about in terms of concentration, and therefore of success, is losing. The next worst thought is of winning.”

-John Wooden-
