The Winner - Coach John Wooden

Pretty deep stuff.  I like to read this stuff when I feel like I'm wavering or after I've slipped up (like I did with 5 Guys for lunch today!).  I hope some of yall get something out of this.

Wooden's basically my hero, wisest man I've ever seen.

I recommend reading some of his autobiographies,
throwing a couple of quotes out here really doesn't do his whole concept on life and style of thinking justice.

Forget about that pyramid of succes stuff and just read the first two chapters of THIS book first.

RIP

I'll look into it.  I'm certainly no expert on the subject and I'm always interested in learning more.

Just thought I'd give him a shout out.  Did a search on the forum to see if the topic was discussed and it wasn't, so I just wanted to bring it up.

Gotta recognize game!

Yes sir!

By no means did I mean to offend you, just though I'd help a hand.

Wooden's favourite quote;

There is a choice you have to make, in everything you do. And you must always keep in mind that the choice you make, makes you.

I'm not really sure it's set up that way, but if I had to venture a guess, I would say that each level builds on the level prior.  What I mean is, all of them rely on each other for support and if you take one away, your structure falls down (to a certain degree).  Does that make sense?  I don't know, maybe someone else has a better answer.
