John Wooden's thoughts on leadership are insightful and inspiring, and this is worth reading for anyone involved in any form of leadership, whether that be teaching, business, or otherwise. Will definitely come back to this in the future to review and reflect upon my own experiences in leadership and working with others!

This book was amazing. I have heard about his legacy growing up. I picked up this book because I will be head coach this coming spring. I would like to be a positive influence on the young ladies. In this book, it shows that you dont have to be a hard nose coach that yells to get the most out of your team/organization. I would recommend this book to everyone from coaches to CEOs. There is so many life lessons on success.

Phenomenal read! I'd recommend it for every leader to read. I'm not into basketball much -nor am I knowledgeable about the sport , but I am into great leaders, and thus I picked up this book. You don't have to be into basketball to get amazing value out of this book. You don't even have to be into sports. If you're into leadership and want to hear what works from the best leader any sport has ever seen , give this book a read! Coach Wooden is simply the best.

It may seem corny, but...Truer words were never spoken. I hate basketball, but relish this book. One word that is not mentioned in the book is mindfulness, but I think that is the essence of his program. Every moment treasured, every action intended. There is no shame in not achieving, simply a resolution to do better.As I reflect on valued leaders in my past, the good ones were most like his teachings and the worst ones most unlike. This is a truly inspiring book.

Being a part of Coach Wooden's team must have been a pretty special experience. He has so many of the strong moral messages that anyone would hope to see or hear about in a leader, only with actual evidence to back up that he both did indeed live those values, and that it paid off.While it definitely struggles to shake off the basketball hat (every example of leadership is shown clearly in a basketball context and then shoehorned into a business context, usually in the uncomfortably added line

I've heard of John Wooden most of my life, but hadn't really studied this remarkable man/coach until I read this autobiography. His midwestern modesty coupled with his drive for constant improvement set this teacher apart. Among the many lessons I gleaned from this book:1) Those who weaken themselves physically often fall prey to an assortment of lapses in the area of good judgement. p.442) Managing egos--the over- and under-inflated, the forceful and the fragile--is one of the great challenges

I'm a big admirer of Coach Wooden and his philosophy-that team trumps all, and greatest is measured in maximizing one's potential in service of something greater. He eschews the current idolatry of winning is everything and personal status is the measure of a persons worth. His Pyramid of Success is a powerful representation of how a person can lead a courageous and "successful" life. He stress the importance of fundamentals, contentiousness, humility, friendship, and striving for perfection.
