Day Twenty-two



Nobody gets here alone.

It's in the news again?

Unavoidable.

The Wooden factor?

At its finest.

Tell me again how it goes.

The primary responsibility of the star is to understand the role his team played to get him there. Ask any sprinter.

That is a lot of humility to ask from an athlete.

But not too much from a musician, surgeon or scholar?

Somebody built that piano, the doctor needs the nurse and a teacher without a student is wasting her gifts. Takes a team.

We should be thanking our competition for providing us with the opportunity to do our best, rather than trashing them for being flawed.

Bow with respect upon entering the dojo and salute the degree of difficulty upon completion of the course and its distance, is the sporting equivalent of the yogis namaste.

Wooden said all that?

Among others.
