John C. Maxwell Quote

One of the ways Coach Wooden used to do that was to ask his players to acknowledge the skills and contributions of others. He told each player that if a teammate made a great pass or set a pick that allowed him to score, he should acknowledge the teammate on the way back down the court. One time a player asked, Coach, if we do that, what if the teammate that made the assist isn’t looking? Coach Wooden replied, He will always be looking. Coach knew that people look for and thrive on acknowledgment and appreciation.
