John Wooden was a great man and a great coach. He won, as men’s basketball coach at UCLA, 10 national titles in 12 years. Yet, developing young men was more of his focus. This blog post points to some things we can learn from ‘The Wizard of Westwood’ and some pictures.
Wooden’s Pyramid of Success is something I had/used as a young coach in the 1980’s.

He lived from 1910 to 2010. Here’s a blog post. I love the picture of (old-age) Wooden and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Jabbar (of course) went on to win multiple NBA titles. He has become an influential and positive force/advocate in our society since. He can be found on Twitter.
