The speech that John Wooden talks about: being successful doesn't mean you have to have A's and B's or 90's or 100's, that is because we all have differen way of learning, some learn slow and the others may learn fast.
His defination of success was 'peace of mind attained only the theough self satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you're capable of'. Like his dad said 'you should never try thinking that your better than someone else.
He always reminded his players that when ever the game is over don't let others know that you didn't outcome , they shouldn't know it from your actions too. The opponent shouldn't tell by the actions whether you outscored them or they had outscored you.
Mr. Wooden talked about when he was the coach of UCLA and how the players had to get the self satisfaction for know ong that they can do there best of what they are capable of.
The book that he had mentioned 'they call me coach' is about him talking about his coaching years, from difficult times to the easy, his two players Conard Burke and Doug McIntosh, and their personality.
