Indiana University's basketball team has made a habit of winning. In 1976, the Hoosiers were undefeated throughout the season and captured the NCAA National Championship under the leadership of Bobby Knight. Shortly after this amazing feat, Coach Knight was interviewed on the television show "60 Minutes." The commentator asked him, "Why is it, Bobby, that your basketball teams at Indiana are always so successful? It is the will to succeed?" "The will to succeed is important," replied Knight, "but I'll tell you what's more important — it's the will to prepare. It's the will to go out there every day, training and building those muscles and sharpening those skills." "Spectacular achievement," believes Robert Schuller, "is always preceded by unspectacular preparation." Quote this article on your site | Views: 466 | Print | E-mail
