5Inspiring  Aug 30, 2010
In a time when winning teams tend to be a collection of criminals and prima donna's, it's refreshing to read a book about a champion both "on and off the court." In this novel Wooden shares memories from his days at UCLA as well as general thoughts on life outside of basketball. This one will stay in my library forever and be read repeatedly. Thank you John Wooden.

3Wooden is interesting, this book was not.  Aug 29, 2010
The book is set up as a series of quotes. The message gets through, but it reads like a bunch of 50-200 word excerpts from longer works that are cut and pasted together. I guess I was looking for more of the story of what Wooden did, not excerpts from after-dinner speeches.

5Inspiration from the greatest coach ever  Aug 26, 2010
I have given over 30 copies of this book as gifts over the last few years. This is sort of an abridged version of the life & teachings of John Wooden, famed UCLA basketball coach who took Bruins to 10 national titles. For quick reference, in the back of the book is a summary of his inspirational and humorous quotes, for whenever I need a quick recharge.

5Great graduation gift!!!  Aug 15, 2010
I gave this to 4 young men who graduated and have played sports most of their young lives.They loved Woodens inspiration.

5Great book! Must read!  Jul 16, 2010
This is one of the best books on self-help/life I have ever read. Wooden is immensely wise and shares it with the world in this book. I bought the same book for my brother and will also ask my wife to read it.
