When opportunity comes it is too late to prepare. John Wooden

John Wooden was known for his ability to prepare his teams to win. He coached and taught his players every little detail of how to win on the basketball and in life.

My favorite example is from Bill Walton who once told the story of “coach” going so far as telling and showing the players the proper way to put on their socks.

Coach Wooden took preparation seriously, and it showed. Before UCLA’s breakout onto the national stage and their break through into becoming the best college basketball program for an extended period of time, Coach Wooden prepared. And prepared. And prepared.

He worked on building the right kind of program for over 10 years before seeing the fruits of his labor.

What kind of opportunity are you looking for?

What kind of person do you need to make the most of that opportunity?

What kind of preparation can you do to prepare to make the most of that opportunity?

We will all be presented with opportunity. In fact, we are all presented with opportunity every day.

Are you prepared for it?

Make it a great day.
