Success Statement
“I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right.”
-Dean Smith
Reflection:
This quote
to me means that he wasn't trying to make great basketball players; he was
trying to make great leaders great men. This man did not want to be remembered for
winning games or for coaching great basketball players but he wanted people to remember
what great human beings they were and what great things they did for
themselves. He never gave up on his players he always knew that there could be more
for them and more opportunities for them also. He only did what he knew was
right not what everyone expected him to do or what was expected from him. There
is also a quote where it says if you work on what you love doing you never work
a day in you’re a life and an example to
me is him, he might have not felt like he worked a day in his life because he
enjoyed doing it so much that it wasn't like that for him. A great man right
here who gave everything for his players to make good men out of them.
