" what you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player"

 -john wooden 

what this quote means is that you are better than anything else in this world and you should judge yourself on who you are as a person. we should all have something to believe in for the rest of our career path and in life. for example if you would like to be an actor then you shouldn't have to care for what people have to says about yourself. if they don't want to you to be come that well then don't listen you can be whatever you want to be become .
