Unlocking Excellence: Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success

 

If you're looking for a simple yet profound framework for building a meaningful life and a strong team, Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success: Building Blocks for a Better Life is a must-read.

 

In this inspiring book, legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden unpacks the 15 core values at the foundation of his coaching—and life—philosophy. Each block of the Pyramid, from Industriousness to Competitive Greatness, represents a timeless trait that leads not just to winning games, but to winning at life.

 

What makes this book shine isn’t just its wisdom—it’s how practical and relatable it is. Wooden pairs each principle with personal stories, clear definitions, and insights you can apply whether you’re a coach, business leader, parent, or student.

 

This isn’t a book about basketball. It’s a guide to becoming your best self—and helping others do the same.

 

Worth a read. Even better, worth living.
