Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

John Wooden (1910-2010), guided the UCLA Bruins to ten NCAA basketball championships over a 12-year period, including four perfect seasons and an 88-game winning streak. He was named ESPN’s “Greatest Coach of the 20th Century” and voted “#1 Coach of All Time” by The Sporting News. Sports Illustrated said it best when they said: “There’s never been a finer man in American sports than John Wooden, or a finer coach.” In 2003 John Wooden was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Steve Jamison is America's foremost author and authority on the life and philosophy of John Wooden. Mr. Jamison is a consultant to the UCLA Anderson Scool of Business’ John Wooden Global Leadership Program. He has collaborated with Coach Wooden on an award-winning PBS presentation as well as several books, including the classic book on teaching and mentoring, Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections.

From the Back Cover

Take a one-on-one leadership course with Coach John Wooden himself!

John Wooden is a monumental figure in American sports, yet his legacy of leadership transcends athletics and spans generations. Coach Wooden instills in others a sense of pride, a commitment to ethics and a respect for teamwork. These fundamental principles translate readily from the sports arena to business, management, and leadership.

"Although John Wooden gained fame at UCLA as an illustriousbasketball coach, his leadership values and professional and personal behavior are just as applicable in business. Team-building in any contextespecially in todays hyper-competitive and fast-changing environmentis difficult. That Coach Wooden was able to achieve such consistent successes at the highest levels over his 40-year career is a tribute to the robustness of his ideas.
JUDY D. OLIAN
John E. Anderson Chair in Management and Dean, UCLA Anderson School of Management

Highlight the Whole Book

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

I knew John Wooden had been a mentor of leadership guru, John Maxwell, so I thought it was time to go to the source. Reading Wooden's book you can see what a major influence he had on Maxwell. There are no wasted words in this short and easy read, but the density of the wisdom is phenomenal. If you are reading the Kindle version and want to highlight the good parts, I suggest doing a Select All, then picking the highlight color of your choice. If you are reading a paper book you will need to buy a can of liquid highlighter and dip the whole book.

Loved the content - would have preferred a different format

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

The book covers the landscape of Coach John Wooden's leadership philosophies and the Pyramid of Success in a format that, unfortunately, I didn't really care for. The content is very good - and Wooden's approach is time tested and comprehensive. The book is written in multiple parts, with reflective question and answer areas right in the book that makes this about 170 pages of content and 100 of blank spaces to take notes. This isn't bad - just be aware that this is a read and write book - not just 270 pages of text. The other piece that I wasn't ready for, and the reason for the loss of the star, was the tripartite structure of the chapters - a piece from Wooden, a piece from Jamison and a piece from a former player - for each principle. The flow wasn't great, and many of the player pieces were repeated later in the book.

All in all, the wisdom of the content outweighs the challenge of the format. Worth reading

Great read. If you’re looking to learn how to lead and manage employees, you must read this book. If you apply these tactics of managing a team, you’ll notice improved morale and productivity. You’ll also decrease attrition. Read the book and passed it along to our office manager.

Leadership without a game plan is a plan to fail.

Genius, is the first word that comes to my mind in recommending this book. If you're a leader or a coach this book is a must. If used it would fix what is so wrong on the sport industry today and would correct so much of the wrong thinking in leadership and business. These are the fundamentals, get these things right and you can hold your head high, and you will win more than you'll lose.

I read this book as part of preparation for a meeting and I am so glad I did. I had not read any other Coach Wooden books but now I plan to. So many useful lessons but the book is also entertaining and a quick read if you're interested in the topic. The layout of the book is a bit awkward but that is really my only complaint.

Very-Very good A Life playbook for the young athlete. This book pertains to all sports, whether your a star or benchwarmer. This Book presents a strong track to run life on. My personal view the young person that reads this may already be on track. A great gift. But they will have to read it.

Another win by Coach Wooden

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

Coach Wooden is a winner in the book arena as well as he was in the basketball one. His book is filled with basic, common sense advice that applies to life as well as sport. You can pick it up and open it at any page and find sage advice that also motivates. The style is easy to read and conversational. Glad I bought it - as is my husband, who suggested it!
