Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success: Building Blocks For a Better Life

Customer Reviews:

The Man and His Pyramid

By Matthew Dodd - December 10, 2010

I am a long-time fan and admirer of the late, legendary Coach John Wooden, and his famous Pyramid of Success. I read this book wanting to learn more about both the man and the Pyramid. The book did teach me about both, but my education was a bit diluted by the execution of the authors' best intentions.

The book was logically organized around the Pyramid's fifteen building blocks and its ten mortar qualities (the mortar that holds the building blocks together). A four-page chapter was dedicated to each of the building blocks and mortar qualities. Each chapter had three parts: Coach's experienced thoughts; Jay Carty's biblical perspectives; and then Bible readings, probing questions, a commitment statement, and a concluding prayer to help readers apply the chapter's principles to their lives.

In-depth look at the methods he used to achieve victory

By Midwest Book Review - May 9, 2005

With the assistance of co-author Jay Carty, 94-year-old John Wooden (one of the most successful college basketball coaches of all time including 10 NCAA national championships in 12 years; an 88-game winning streak, and 4 perfect seasons.) provides a personal, in-depth look at the methods he used to achieve victory on and off the basketball court and which he imparted to generation of his students and players in Coach Wooden's Pyramid Of Success: Building Blocks For A Better Life. Coach Wooden demonstrates how success is built block by block in his "pyramid" where each block is a crucial principle contributing to life-long achievement in every area of life. Such key values as honesty, hard work, and respect for others make up life's "pyramid of success". Coach Wooden's determining factor of success is not in winning or in achievements, but rather is to be found in "self-satisfaction achieved when you know that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming."

Coach Wooden has another championship

By Tim L. Gill - April 18, 2005

Another great book by "The Coach". Coach Wooden does an excellent job of explaining his success, while teaching others that we can succeed as well.

The book is a great read. It is divided into the blocks of the pyramid and the motar sections. I am reading one block each night to my kids!

A great book for anyone at any age. Would make a great graduation gift!
