By: John Wooden
This quote means that the person you are is more important than skills you have for basketball or any other sport. For example, you can be the most talented basketball, soccer, football player ever but it won't mean nothing if you're personality doesn't isn't as great. It also means that it's better to be a person of great personality than to be a really good athlete. Skills are not important compared to your personality. He also means that who you are as a person and your personality is the most important thing and your athletic skills come after. Most people think that being a good athlete is far more important than the person you are but it's not. It's more important for someone to be a good person and even better to be a good person on the field/court as well. He knew that being a the best athlete wouldn't be any good if he wasn't a good person.
