When you play you are mostly just doing it for fun or competition. But when you are outside of playing any sport you have to be a different person. Their is a saying,"When you play, play Hard, when you work, don't Play at all." It goes with what the best coach for the best team UCLA said.

its a good quote. First you need to work hard for your self then do anything you want. Business first they what ever you want.
ReplyDeletei think tha this is good thi sis cool i think that this says the truth. this is sing that ur person ur self is more inportant then what you are as an athlit.
ReplyDeleteWhat you are as a person is definitely much more important than what you are in anything else. Your personality, principles, manner of being--all affect how you do anything. If you're lazy, rude and unsociable, you can bet that it will affect how you function in class, at your work place, and anywhere you go. It also doesn't matter how well you do in anything; if you have a bad personality, it will overshadow your success. Don't just aim to be good at something, but to be a good person to everyone you encounter.

I think that this quote is a very good quote because you are more important as a person more then what you are good at. This is true because you are very kind to others as a person then you are as a very good athlete or whatever you are good at. You are more important because you have a family that you have to make sure that you are very good person in life. P,S Good luck to all the Senior that are graduating this year I hope you guys succeed on your life goal and remember the memories that you had in this school and to the under class men good luck next year and always work hard to achieve your goals.

ReplyDeleteI think that this is an okay quote. I think it is saying that you being a better person is more important than being a good basketball player. That is what I think that this statement is saying.

THATS RIGHT. YOU HAVE TO BE A GOOD PERSON MORE THAN YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING A PLAYER
ReplyDeleteVery true. i like this quote. It really counts how you are as a person as well as a basketball player. If you're a good person and don't cheat, and always choose the the right, you'll be successful in a honest way.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what this says it is way better to be a good person than to be a good basketball player. if your a good person the rest will come easy and you'll be great at the rest.
ReplyDeleteI think that this quote is true because if you are not a person, you CAN'T be a basketball player. You're personality counts more than just playing basketball!! That's why you are suppose to try your best on a basketball game and not choose the wrong so you can be considered a good and fair basketball player, not a cheater. Choose the Right!!
ReplyDeletei think that this quote is a very good quote because you are able to do many things as a person then an athlete that you are good and that is the thing that matter the most. Thats why it is very good to be a better person in the world so that you are able to help people that need the help.
