Doing what is right, and Honorable 

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing."  -Chick Moorman

 
        This Quote is meaning to say winning or losing doesn't really matter. The reason it doesn't really matter is because if you win by cheating than its not really winning. If you lose because they cheated you out or because you cheated than you either deserved it or have to cope with it and move on, therefore not really a lose. For example, I am a volleyball play. Many reffs ask the players to see if the ball was in or out, or if we made a foul in any way. That is the moment of truth in the game. You either lie to help your team win or you tell the truth even if it cost you the game.

        A coach will always tell you before a game to play your best and fair so that when we win you can truly say your the best. Many plays will go for the lie but in every team there is that one player who comes out with the truth. That is the beauty of team sports. Now if you lie that will give you a bad reputation and if you tell the truth you will be fair and honorable because of your good name. Choose the right.

"What you are as a person is far more important than what are you as a basketball player."                                                 -John Wooden                                                                                                                   John Wooden was not only a basketball coach he was a basketball player so he knows first hand what it really means to be   an athlete..                                                                                                                                                                                      John Wooden believes that there is something much greater than being a basketball player. I think that he believes basketball not only changes your attitude but it changes your perspective on everything. For example, If you are a horrible person and rude to everyone and decide to become an athlete no one on your team and none of your coaches with take your attitude. Thats if they dont kick you out... Although you might have a horrible attitude your coach will train you not only as an athlete but to be a better person. To be a good athlete you must be a good person first. Athletics are about competition and even if you either win or lose being a good sport is always permitted. If you win a game and rub it in the other teams face that's not exactly being professional it is being childish. Although, If you go shake the other teams and and give them props for having a good game that's what being a true player is.
