Book Reviews of Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections on and Off the Court
Book Review: Not just for coaches or players!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wooden was perhaps the greatest basketball coach ever. His basketball wisdom and ideas on excellence and leadership development are timeless. All of his books are must reads for a basketball coach and most players.
But this little blue book is for anyone. It truly is the wisdom of Wooden.
I don't really know how else to describe it. This book is not so much about basketball as it is life and how to do it the right way.
I gave this little book to every player who graduated from my program. My copy is beat up, underlined, dog-eared, and highlighted. I cannot tell you how many times I have read it and learned something from it with each reading.
The only book I know of that has more wisdom and allows you to learn from each reading is the Bible.

Summary of Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections on and Off the Court
Evoking days gone by when coaches were expected as much for their off-court performance as for their success on the court, this unique and intimate work presents the timeless wisdom of legendary basketball coach John Wooden.
In honest and telling passages about virtually every aspect of life, Wooden shares the important personal philosophies that helped make him the winningest coach of all time.
Coach Wooden's remarkable 10 national basketball championships in 12 years at UCLA speak for themselves. In Wooden, the coach--quiet, thoughtful, and introspective throughout his distinguished career--finally speaks forhimself, and he's well worth hearing. Wooden is a modern chapbook of inspiration and good sense that reveals the hard-court philosopher behind it as a man of character, conviction, decency, and straightforwardness. There are no complex ideas, just little beams of light filtered through anecdotes that project the kinds of simple, immutable truths that in the end touch nothing but net.
