This reading check I read John Wooden’s biography. John Wooden was the UCLA coach when they won 88 games back to back in basketball. Coach Wooden is often referred to as the best basketball coach ever, on and off the court. John Wooden has a pyramid of success that involves all of the aspects of being a good man and a good basketball player. One of the many aspects that John considers great is hard work. Wooden talks about how his father had six principles that everyone should follow. They involved working hard and always being true to yourself. John Wooden’s story is a great one about good sportsmanship and hard work. John’s main goal in his lifetime was to be a teacher to all of people he came in contact with. This book explained that winning is important but you should let your fans prove that you won, the players faces shouldn’t be any different if they win or they lose. I really learned a lot and was able to connect with John’s story. I also think that his book is very appropriate for basketball players and non-basketball players I think that his pyramid of success can help anyone.
