Attention to Detail 7 of 10

 Attention to Detail

                                                      7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

          John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn't tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

          Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

                 Choose The Right!!!

Student Success Statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life then in basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

-John wooden

Reflection: This means that you can make yourself better and better every day by just trying and having patients

Example: You can be playing a sport and you really don’t know how the game I played, but if you watch the game and practice it you’ll become better and better every single day

He was a good basketball player but before he could get recruited into the college of his choice, he got a 3 year sentence for committing several crimes.  

Reflection: He would have been on his way to the college of his choice but he’s not he’s going to prison. He shouldn't have committed those crimes in the first place.
