Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success Paperback – January 1, 2009

Good read

John Wooten and Jay Carty wrote a short, direct to the point to help anyone in life. Initially, I this was about how to succeed playing basketball; however, the pyramid of success can be used in all aspects of life.

The manner of how the book is organized is fantastic. Instead of book that is heavy as if that makes it great-"Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success' Building Blocks For A Better Life" is slim and so well organized you will learn so much and after each chapter it's 'Your Turn". Everything he did seemed genius--and with this wonderful book--we can take another big step toward our goals no matter what they are. So glad I bought this. When I was at UCLA I'd see Coach Wooden I'm sorry I didn't say, "Coach, can I shake your hand"? To me he was a great man.

Coach Wooden was a legend among coaches, and his experiences and coaching strategy are well presented in this book. Wooden’s coauthor is a Christian minister, so although Wooden’s writing and teaching is centered in Christian principles, it’s not until you read the second half of each chapter that the Christian principles are emphasized. Regardless, you don’t have to be a Christian to benefit from the wisdom of Coach John Wooden presented in this book.

Outstanding book!

I love John Wooden's approach of giving your personal best. We all know what that is. If we can turn off the voice to please the beast of self recognition and tune into being the best we can at any moment, we will certainly succeed. Our Savior will help us have a balance between running faster than we have strength and pushing ourselves to obtain the best within us and how to understand in our hearts that win or lose, the personal championship is won by our efforts, and to be satisfied with that.

Today, more than any other time this book is needed. It talks about the very things that are being drained and lacking in our society today. Not only does it give you scripture which is critical, but it also gives you real life character lessons. Highly recommend!

Me encanta este libro y es uno de mis libros de cabecera.
