Pyramid scheme works

| When I first started coaching age-group swimming (almost 40 years ago), I made a copy of the late John Wooden's “Pyramid of Success” to use with my swimmers, the 100 or so 5- to 18-year-old kids who made up the Amador Polar Bears. My girlfriend (now my wife) wasn't terribly impressed with my artistic efforts and made for me a much nicer poster-board version of the pyramid. For 15 years, I began each swimming season by going over the basic elements of the pyramid with my swimmers. I used the pyramid also at the little Christian schools where I served... |

(John) Wooden Was Greatest Coach Ever

| With all due respect to Bob Knight, Mike Krzyzewski and even Bear Bryant and Vince Lombardi, John Wooden was in a class by himself. Wooden will go down as the most accomplished coach anywhere. Ever. The Wizard of Westwood won 10 national titles in a 12-year span, including a remarkable seven consecutive from 1967 through ’73. Wooden’s success is almost unfathomable. Wooden passed away on Friday night at the UCLA Medical Center, just months prior to his 100th birthday on Oct. 14. Wooden was still mentally sharp in his 90s and was spotted at UCLA games and other events. |

Wooden's string of championships began with back-to-back victories in 1964 and '65. Starting in... |

| “Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.” - Coach John Wooden Ever since we were kids, Todd and I have looked at Coach John Wooden as a true hero. His quotes plastered our bulletin boards, school notebooks, and locker doors. Realizing this mutual admiration of Coach Wooden when Todd and I first met about 30 years ago was a sure sign that we were on the same page. From afar we have admired Coach’s wit and wisdom, we’ve absorbed his writings and the life lessons he’s taught from the basketball... |
