Review: I grew up during UCLA's dominance of college basketball and admired Coach Wooden from the beginning. This book offers insights commonly forgotten by today's hectic lifestyles and values. It points out how honesty, integrity, discipline and hard work can lead to a lifetime of fullfilment; not arrogance, but humility. The principles and experiences detailed in this book can help a willing soul in maximizing potential in LIFE. I plan on teaching my children these values.
