John R. Wooden, Peanut Louie Harper, ...

Perfection Learning, 2003

Tried and True Journey to Success
As a Principal of an elementary school I gave this book to each of my teachers this Fall and we read the book together round-robin style. What an experience! Their enthusiasm has carried through the whole school as our students have all had discussions of the various blocks, the value of hard work and being a person of integrity whatever your path. We so appreciate that Coach Wooden put his ...

John R Wooden

Collier Macmillan, 1985

Could use an update
I have a ton of books on various aspects of coaching basketball, and this is by far the most comprehensive resource I own. I particularly appreciate Coach Wooden's attention to detail and his down-to-earth, methodical approach. I'd give it 4.5 stars if that were possible, just because this edition looks like it was run off on a photocopy machine, particularly the photos, but in terms of ...

Stong Stuff
The content and pace of this interview is strong. I'm an accountant by profession and trade as a hobby; and the information contained in this interview blew me away.

Andrew Hill, John R. Wooden, 2001

What a great little book!
I really enjoyed this book by Andy Hill. Not until he realized his own successes and failures did he fully see all that he learned from coach Wooden. The foundational principles taught by coach Wooden are one's that we can all admire. "Make each day your masterpiece." Buy this book, then give it to a friend.

John R. Wooden, Jack Tobin

Word Books, Publisher, 1972

Inspiring glimpse into a master coach's life
John Wooden is perhaps America's greatest coach. His UCLA basketball team won ten national championships, including seven in a row. Concomitant with winning was his insistence on character and virtue rather than getting caught up with results. This autobiography is a fascinating glimpse into Wooden's extraordinary life. It chronicles his life as a player (many forget that Wooden was ...

The Heart of Success: Conversations with Notable Achievers

Dan G. Tripps, John R. Wooden

BainBridgeBooks (PA), 2000

One of the best books I've come across!!!
When I begin to feel lazy and unfocused on my goals, I simply pick up my copy of The Heart of Success and I get an instant booster shot of motivation. That's quite a feat for an author to accomplish. Dr. Dan Tripps has the amazing ability to write a story in such a way that I feel like I really know the subjects of his interviews. They come across as real and open, and I literally feel like I'm ...
