Whether you care for the sport of basketball or not, you have to admit that this quote by famed UCLA coach John Wooden is on the mark.  I think it serves to keep all of us in touch with reality and our feet firmly planted on the ground.   Especially in the niche of podiatric residency training, it is easy to slip into the mindset that you are at the top of your game or that there is really nothing more for you to learn on a particular topic.  As a resident you may have performed thousands of procedures and be the chief of a prestigious program, or as an attending, you may be the program director and the one who is sought after for the complicated cases…but the quote still applies no matter where you are in the game.  The body of knowledge that we, as podiatrists, must master is a slowly moving target.  If you don't constantly absorb the new literature as it gets published, and learn the new techniques as they are developed,  you will slowly fall behind.
