The difference between winning and succeeding


http://www.ted.com/talks/john_wooden_on_the_difference_between_winning_and_success.html


John Wooden, a very successful basketball coach that once coached at UCLA for several years, states in this video that "You can lose when you outscore somebody in a game. And you can win when you’re outscored.” I think this relates to my blog because what he is saying is you can learn from your failures and hurtles become a better competator. My blog is all about picking my self up and keeping my cool even when things with basketball don't go my way. I learn to succeed by my failures and by doing this I become a better player and person on and off the court. Nobody is perfect,  because life isn't perfect and basketball is an imperfect game. I hope that one day I can be as successful as John wooden and wise as him so I can spread what I have learned to my peers and children as what ever path they choose in life they know that failing is just apart of the journey to success
