JOHN WOODEN: PRESEASON LETTER TO HIS TEAM

"If each of you makes every effort to develop to the best of your ability, follow the proper rules of conduct and activity most conducive to good physical condition, subordinate individual acclaim for the welfare of the team, and permit no personality clashes or differences of opinion with teammates or coaches to interfere with you or a teammate's efforts, it will be a very rewarding year."

-July 23, 1971
From "The Essential Wooden" by John Wooden and Steve Jamison
