This is a great lesson on patience from John Wooden.
Coach Wooden liked this quote from 19th century novelist George MacDonald.: "When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over."
The auditorium at Flintridge Prep was attentive as Coach Wooden did questions and answers with the audience at the end of basketball camp.
A young man rose and said: "Next season will be my very first as a head coach. What advice would you give me?"
Coach replied: "Be patient."
The same coach stood again and said: "Coach Wooden what other advice would you give me?"
Coach smiled gently and replied: "Be patient."
Coach believed patience with our youth is critical to their growth, reminding us: "All progress does not result in change, but all change is a result of progress."
Coach also believed the adult must give discipline and have self-discipline.
He was crystal clear on giving discipline; he said: "Those who dispense discipline must remember that its purpose is to help, to improve, to correct, to prevent -not to punish, humiliate, or retaliate."
Coach thought the adult must have the self-discipline to not intervene to fix things for the youngster. As he often reminded us: "The worst things you can do for those you love are the things they could and should do for themselves."
Are you patient, do you discipline to teach and do you let people fall down and get up on their own?
This is a good set of three from Coach Wooden to check yourself on.
A great chance to work with some great people, see kids everyday, and share the same schedule as your child or grandchild! Contact LSI or the school with questions!

The third through sixth grade students received a visit from Astronaut Clayton Anderson this afternoon. The Ashland, NE native taught us many facts about space and what it is like to be an astronaut. Here are a few things we learned this afternoon:
1) While in space, astronauts sleep in a sleeping bag tied to the wall.
2) You can't snore while in space. The lack of gravity doesn't allow it.
3) Space food is sticky so it stays on the spoon.
4) Driving to the moon and back is equal to driving around the Earth's equator 10 times!
Ask your 3rd through 6th grader what they learned today! This opportunity was brought to us by the TeamMates program. Contact the school if you are interested in becoming a mentor.
