The American basketball coach Rick Patino in his book ''Success is a Choice'' wrote about self-esteem:
{{Cquote|Self-esteem comes with a catch, though.
We must deserve it.
Only when you have your plan of attack, you become organized, have discipline in your life, your prepared to win - that's when you should give yourself some credit.
Only when you proven that you deserve victory.
It's counterproductive to boost someone's self-esteem when that person doesn't deserve it.<ref>''Success is a Choice'' by Rick Pitino, Chapter 2, page 29. Broadway Books. 1997</ref>}}
