COACH JOHN R. WOODEN
PROGRAM INSPIRATION
"Success is the peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you're capable."
John R. Wooden, affectionately known as "Coach", led UCLA to record wins that are still unmatched in the world of basketball. Throughout his long life, he shared the values & life lessons he passed to his players, emphasizing a definition of success that encompasses much more than winning
Born in 1910, Coach Wooden was the first person to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame both as a player & coach, while ESPN ranks him as the greatest coach of all time, across all sports. In his 40 years at UCLA, he mentored legends such as Bill Walton & Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He has created a model, the Pyramid of Success™, & authored several publications to impart his insight on achievement to others, including the Wooden Course.
“Coach Wooden is a humble, private man who has selflessly given up his life to make other people’s lives better... John Wooden gave us the necessary tools to overcome the adversity & obstacles that he knew from the beginning would always be in our way. He taught us to find a source of motivation to inspire us to ever higher levels of preparation & work.” — Bill Walton
