A fine book of inspiration and good advice. In addition to the many words of wisdom, quotations, and good examples, the book contains a section of Wooden's famous "Pyramid of Success." Wooden concludes the book with "My Favorite Maxims" (there are 54 of them).

My personal favorite piece of advice from Wooden is "Act quickley (but don't hurry)." p. 94 ( )

In a time when winning teams tend to be a collection of criminals and prima donna's, it's refreshing to read a book about a champion both "on and off the court." In this novel Wooden shares memories from his days at UCLA as well as general thoughts on life outside of basketball. This one will stay in my library forever and be read repeatedly. Thank you John Wooden. ( )
