"a good name is better than anything you could achieve in life"

by coach K

i think that this quote means that if you do good stuff and your known for doing it and every time people bring up your name.You would want people to see you as a good person, not a bad person. You would want to be somebody's mentor so they can look up to you and follow your footsteps. This quote is referring that your name should be your definition of how you are. For example, you don't want to be that type of person that when someone hears your name, you don't want that person to remember you in a negative way.You want them refer to you as a good friend and a good human being. What he means by saying that a good name is better than anything in this life is that you want the best for yourself and want everybody to know that you're a good person.
