in addition to the greatest coaches ever---
Herbie Brooks--A real Motivator

When you pull on that jersey, you represent yourself and your teammates. And the name on the front is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back! Get that through your head!!

Bruise on the leg is a hell of a long way from the Heart-click

Harvey Penick, head golf professional at Austin Country Club for 50 years, and golf coach at the University of Texas for 32 years, probably belongs in the conversation. In a 23 year period, Penick's UT teams won the SW Conference title 20 times. He coached Golf Hall of Famers: Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw, Mickey Wright, Betsy Rawls, and Kathy Whitworth. From what I've seen and read about John Wooden and him, they were cut from similar cloth. Both were gentlemen of character, conviction and wisdom. Both were great role models and teachers. Each authored books inspiring others to acheive success as individuals, and as athletes. Even after the passing of Wooden and Penick, their former students continue to give testimony to the influence these coaches had on them. The following excerpt is an example:

Penick continued to teach almost up to the moment of his death. During his final illness, he rose from his deathbed to give a final lesson to his longtime student Ben Crenshaw. The day after serving as a pallbearer at Penick's funeral, Crenshaw played in The Masters. Crenshaw went on to win the event, weeping immediately after sinking the tournament-winning putt. In the post-tournament interview, Crenshaw told an audience of millions, "I had a 15th club in my bag," an obvious reference to Penick. (The "15th club" reference is based on the golf rule that limits a player to carrying 14 clubs during a round.)
