Arose today to hear that John Wooden one of the most revered people in basketball, coaching, and leadership died at the age of 99. Thank you for all that you have done and rest peacefully.
Wooden’s life and legacy has inspired millions. I have read his books and became familiar with his Pyramid of Success. I am a huge fan of basketball and a huge fan of his lessons on Leadership, on Preparation, and on Life.
If you need some inspiration or you want to know more about the philosophy and teachings of Coach Wooden here are two links you will enjoy. http://www.coachwooden.com/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wooden
Wooden is famous for a seven point creed. Given to him by his father and printed on a card and carried in his wallet:
1. Be true to yourself.
2. Make each day your masterpiece.
3. Help others.
4. Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
5. Make friendship a fine art.
6. Build a shelter against a rainy day.
7. Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.
And here is a reprint of his Pyramid of Success.
