"Success is the peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best to which you are capable."

Team Spirit

"The star of the team is the team. 'We' supercedes 'me'. "

Interesting that one of Wooden's keys to success moves the focus from the person to the group. Personal success is meaningless when it does not fit into the needs of the society.  The whole unit is fulfilled when each 'me' integrates its role into the unit operation.  When 'we' becomes the shining star, each 'me' gets to shine as well.
