EDUCATION

“Read intelligence is a creative use of knowledge, not merely an accumulation of facts. The slow thinker who can finally come up with an idea of his own is more important to the world than a walking encyclopedia who hasn’t learned how to use this information productively.” -D. Kenneth Winebrenner

“I must learn what I can to teach what I must.” -Dick Bennett

"I believe people should study a little bit every day. It should become habitual, like brushing your teeth, combing your hair, having a shower or getting dressed.

"In times of change, the learners shall inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists." -Eric Hoffer

“Knowledge is a prerequisite to harmony.” –Herman Boone

“Seek knowledge. You may not have all the answers, but someone does. In 1983 I had no idea how I was going to reach my goal of Mr. Olympia, but I sought the counsel of those who had gone before me.” –Lee Haney

“If money is your hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability." -Henry Ford

"You should learn something from each and every round you play." -Tiger Woods
“Get all the good ideas but you cannot use all the good ideas. Your personality, your personnel, your league, your school, your geographic region, resources available and many other things will impact just what you can use in your program.” –Don Meyer

"I don't believe that a championship-caliber player in any sport can be stupid about the art and war of his game. He may not speak the same language that most professionals do, and he may not have a lot to say to people outside his game, but within his world he will be an advanced student. This has to be a true, because physical abilities are relatively equal at the top of professional sports." -Bill Russell

“To succeed, you absolutely need to gain more knowledge in your selected field. How do you go about doing that? One of the most fruitful ways is from the living lessons role models provide. It is easy to become a winner if you’re simply willing to learn from those who have been winners themselves. Find out who has the most success at what they do. Watch their technique. Observe their methods. Study their behavior.” -Mike Shanahan

“When we go into action and confront our adversaries, we must be as armed with knowledge as they.” –Dr. Martin Luther King

“Leaders are learners, continually striving to be better in their work and personal lives. They read, take additional courses and seminars, and listen to audio programs in their cars.

They are committed to learning and growing in every area where they feel they can make an even more valuable contribution to their work.” –Brian Tracy
“There is no substitute for knowledge. Knowledge and experience is what help you make an excellent play as a player and as a coach.” –Nick Saban
