1.In your recent reading, what has your author/main character said that has stood out to you. Something they did or said, A quote, an experience they had that you had a reaction to?
Sports psychologists always say to invision yourself succeeding, to picture yourself making the shot. Coach Wooden taught to assume you would fail, that way you will be ready to react when the ball hits off the rim. He said "I taught them to expect failure--the missed basket--and to be ready to do what comes next: a tip-in, rebound, fastbreak or something else."

2. Talk about someone you know who either lives by the characteristics or traits your author talks about or lives like the subject of your book. Someone who you believe does what the author says to do/or lives by.
Coach Elser uses a lot of the tactics discussed in this book. My guess would be he has read one of the many books John Wooden has co-authored. He tries not to yell, and does many similar things such as wanting players to acknowledge a good assist or pass or play.

3. Is it important for us to study leadership? Is it important for us to look at what others say or do as inspiration or as an example of how to live or lead? Why or why not?
Yes it is very important because we are the future leaders of this country. We can takes others advice and experiences and think about what they say to help us form our own ideas about leadership and ethics.
