Self-Control
Each week during the NWA League season we send coaches a coaching principle adapted from Coach John Wooden’s, Pyramid of Success. At AAO, we believe coaches are one of the most influential leaders of our youth culture today. We admire the work they do and want to assist them in every way possible as they mentor these young men and women in the game of basketball and life.
“Self-control is the ability to discipline ourselves and keep our emotions under control”
Coach John Wooden
