“I am just a common man who is true to his beliefs.”–John Wooden

Evoking days gone by when coaches were respected as much for their off-court performances as for their success on the court, Wooden presents the timeless wisdom of legendary basketball coach John Wooden.

In honest and telling passages about virtually each aspect of life, Coach shares his personal philosophy on circle of relatives, achievement, success, and excellence. Raised on a small farm in south-central Indiana, he offers lessons and wisdom learned all the way through his career at UCLA, and life as a dedicated husband, father, and teacher.

These lessons, in conjunction with personal letters from Bill Walton, Denny Crum, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Bob Costas, among others, have made Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections off and on the Court an inspirational classic.

Coach Wooden’s remarkable 10 national basketball championships in 12 years at UCLA speak for themselves. In Wooden, the coach–quiet, thoughtful, and introspective all the way through his distinguished career–in spite of everything speaks forhimself, and he is well worth hearing. Wooden is a up to date chapbook of inspiration and good sense that reveals the hard-court philosopher at the back of it as a man of character, conviction, decency, and straightforwardness. There are no complex ideas, just little beams of light filtered through anecdotes that project the kinds of simple, immutable truths that in any case touch nothing but net.
