"I am just a common man who is true to his beliefs." (John Wooden)

Evoking days gone by when coaches were respected as much for their off-court performances as for their success on the court, Wooden presents the timeless wisdom of legendary basketball coach John Wooden.

In honest and telling passages about virtually every aspect of life, Coach shares his personal philosophy on family, achievement, success, and excellence. Raised on a small farm in South-Central Indiana, he offers lessons and wisdom learned throughout his career at UCLA and life as a dedicated husband, father, and teacher.

These lessons, along with personal letters from Bill Walton, Denny Crum, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Bob Costas, among others, have made Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections on and off the Court an inspirational classic.

Enjoyed the book. It has some gems in quotes and the philosophy of Coach Wooden for a lifetime of success is worth listening to. The stress on character building is what resonates the most

Great book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Lots of very inspirational maxims. I see myself coming back when i need inspiration. Detailed narrative behind the beliefs and maxims would have been better.
