About the Author

JOHN WOODEN was a high school and college coach for 40 years. During that time, his teams won more than 80 percent of their games. From 1948 to 1975, his UCLA Bruin teams claimed 10 NCAA national championships, including 7 in a row, and at one time won 88 consecutive games. Wooden is in the Basketball Hall of Fame both as a player and a coach. He originated the Pyramid of Success and is the coauthor with Jay Carty of the recent best-seller Coach Wooden One-on-One. Coach and his wife, Nellie, were married 53 years when she passed away in 1985. He currently lives in Southern California and, at 90-plus years of age, continues to lecture across the country. JAY CARTY has played for the Los Angeles Lakers, coached basketball at his alma mater, Oregon State, and been a part of John Wooden’s UCLA coaching staff. After hanging up his basketball shoes, Carty entered ministry. For 25 years he has been a traveling preacher and has written seven books, including Counter-attack and Playing with Fire. Jay and his wife, Mary, live in Santa Barbara, California.

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.

This is an EXCELLENT guide for wanna-be coaches, along with Mike Matheny's The Matheny Manifesto. It's full of simple insights into a coach's/and good person's thought process. Each chapter outlines a building block in Wooden's Pyramid of Success then this Jay Carty guy supports the Coach's thoughts with complimentary bible verse. It works out okay. UNTIL... you get to the "Intentness" chapter which compares staying focused on a goal to the woman in the Bible who had her period for 12 years. It was then that I began to question everyone's judgement. Leading up to that, some of the Bible chapter/verse selected were pretty random or repetitive. I'm not sure this book had an editor.

This is weak sauce. Bible tips from a basketball coach's grandson.
The format is like this: you get a page of Wooden saying why enthusiasm (or some other positive personality trait) is important, then two pages from Jay Carty, Wooden's pious grandson, giving you a bible lesson on why the bible says it's important.
If, like me, you hoped this might provide some nice insights into Wooden's mindset and some practical tips on how to coach these things, then you'll be disappointed. The action points at the end of chapters are bible passages to go read.

Il Reverendo John Wooden ci mostra il motivo per il quale possa essere considerato come uno dei più grandi allenatori della storia dello Sport; una serie di valori che dovrebbero essere spiegati a qualsiasi ragazzo che inizi la carriera da allenatore.
Mi sarebbe piaciuto leggere la scena in cui il coach al primo giorno di allenamento di Lew Alcindoor, gli insegna come allacciarsi le scarpe, e il crescendo che ha portato l'attuale Kareem Abdul Jaabar a diventare il proprietario del tiro più immarcabile della storia del gioco...

Success is built one block (day) at a time.

With each individual character trait being it's own chapter, you could read this book one chapter per day similar to a daily devotional. Wooden uses example of his coaching career while Carty pairs the character trait with examples of Biblical influence.
