Great Book
This man was an excellent leader, he did it by keeping things simple and basic. Most of all he put people first and placed high value on giving 100% all the time. Coach would be upset if you won and only gave 50% while on the other hand he would be proud of you if you gave 110% and still lost. Great guy, good book.

Outstanding!!!!
This book is a great book on leadership and life in general. I am just a little too young to remember Coach Wooden's great teams, but I have always heard of them. Coach Wooden's philosophy is that winning will take care of itself if you will always give your best effort and just do the best you can do. This book is different because so much of the time teams today only care if they win and not if they did their best and this book takes the exact opposite view. GREAT BOOK on leadership, teamwork and effort!
