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.

DO NOT Buy this book unless you are looking for a daily christian devotional...that's what this really is.

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is NOT a typical John Wooden book. It's a really a daily devotional. It's a Jay Carty book with a little John Wooden. DO NOT buy this book if you are not expecting to read it as a devotional with scriptures, bible verses, homework assignments, etc. I was disappointed in the book. Waste of my money.

Wonderful Book! Coach Wooden was a mane of integrity. I first learned about this book when my daughter came home from school talking about friendship. I asked her where did she hear such a wonderful explantation about what a friend is and how to be a friend, she said her coach in athletics had this book and every Friday they have a character building lesson from it. That's all it took for me to reach out to my kids coach and ask for the title. I use this book in my class to teach character building lessons and I use it at church in our youth group.

Success is about the achievement of self not results

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

It would be easy to say this book is where sports analogies meets scriptural verse but it's not. As Wooden consistently stresses, the pursuit of results in any sport, game or the game of life for that matter is not defined by the score, winning or other such measures. It's about the achievement of your best self, in every endeavour, from that success is assured. A simple read that makes the point beautifully. Wooden like his decades long marriage & even longer life was simply focused on the dedication to being his best, "and let the results take care of themselves."

There must be a lot of Christians writing reviews...

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

How come more people aren’t mentioning how Christianity-heavy this book is? I’m sorry but this is more about connecting stories from the Bible to concepts related to coaching than it is to the actual pyramid of success concepts or basketball coaching. I bought it for my bf who is a youth basketball coach and trainer to reaffirm and inspire his coaching skills but I’m not even going to give this to him out of fear he will think I’m trying to convert him LOL. That’s disappointing because he told me about coach wooden and I really wanted to gift him this but it’s really overkill with the Christian-centric perspective. These principles could’ve been apparoached in a more inclusive way in my opinion. Oh well..

Huh?

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

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.

Great read couldn't put it down

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2013

Coach Wooden is the ultimate principle architect. His blueprint for life was developed and refined over a life time. He laid a solid foundation of principles that will support all the other principles. The foundation principles are values that if implemented will set the example and attract others to follow your leadership. The second level are principles of self discipline that when demonstrated consistently show others you are a person who is in control of theirself. The third level are principles of both ability and camaraderie that draw individuals into a close knit team. The fourth level are the keys to the cap stone of competitive greatness. These two building blocks are crucial to individual success and when cultivated are displayed outwardly as sure sign of success. Like any great architect Coach included the mortar that is a necessity to hold the principles together. These mortar principles hold the block principles together because they incorporate deep inner seated values that intertwine and cause the block principles to withstand the test of time.

Reading this now. Worth ever minute invested. The definition of success is as clear and within my control as any definition I've ever read. The building blocks and mortar are the components of the excellence we seek from ourselves. Study of these components can only lead to better character and performance within the team.

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.

Reviewed in Canada on May 29, 2020

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.
