Clarence Seedorf Quotes

This whole thing's about development. Not only are we trying to develop players, we're trying to develop ourselves.

All of us need to grow continuously in our lives.

Don't ever think, no matter how old you are, that you don't need to be coached.

Throughout your life advance daily, becoming more skillful than yesterday, more skillful than today. This is never-ending.

I think that growth happens and that learning happens in anybody's life regardless of what profession you're in.

There are always things we can still learn to perfect.

I feel like I always learn from somebody who can do something better than I can.

If I could just get better a little bit each year, then I did my job.

People don't understand that, when I was at WCW, if I wasn't wrestling that night, I was down at the Power Plant teaching. I was teaching people how to do stuff, but every time you teach someone, you learn more. The more you learn, the more you teach. The more you teach, the better you get.

I had to buy into being a better player and being able to be coached.

The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.

When you're younger, it's about, 'How can I get better? How can I become the player that I want to be?' As you get older, it's, 'How can this football team improve?' While all along getting better along the way.

If you have a coach helping you, developing your skills alongside you, that's when you're on your way to becoming not just a participant but achieving.

A good leader is one who can tell another how to reach his or her potential; a great leader is one who can help another discover this potential for him or herself.

Not a having and a resting, but a growing and becoming, is the character of perfection as culture conceives it.

You keep learning all the time.

I'm trying to be a sponge. People say, 'Well, that's what your rookie year is.' I still feel that way in my second year.

I'm learning something all the time. That's the way I want it to go, and that's the way I'll go until I am no longer on this planet.

You never stop learning. If you have a teacher, you never stop being a student.

No matter how good you think you are as a leader, my goodness, the people around you will have all kinds of ideas for how you can get better. So for me, the most fundamental thing about leadership is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to try to get better - because your job is to try to help everybody else get better.

I need to learn every day.

But I've got more to learn, too. I don't feel like I'm done or I know it all.

I don't believe a player is ever a finished product.

But you know you haven't done it all because you know everything keeps evolving and changing; and you know you can evolve with it if you grow and develop as a human being.

I don't think I've worked with anyone where I haven't seen some progress. Now sometimes you can't take someone where they want to go, not all the way, and sometimes you stop, and they do it or don't do it on their own thereafter.
