"What you are as a person is far more important that what you are as a basketball player"   By: John Wooden 

                     What John wooden means by this quote is that as a person it is more important what you do for yourself and others. For example he got famous and could of easily retire  because he would of had ton of money but that is not what he did. Instead of leaving, he stayed not only because he liked his job but also because he enjoyed helping other realize their full potential. John helped in many different places and was glad to help. Maybe it was his teaching that helped the team work together and win many games. "You haven't taught until they have learned."
