One of the core values central to Coach’s father’svalue and characterwas his gentleness with all living creatures, a trait that young Wooden grew up admiring. Coach often spoke about the gentle and loving way that his parents interacted, and the fact that his father’s favorite Abraham Lincoln quote was, “The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.”

Coach also told many stories about his father’s gentleness in different situations on the farm. For example, the family kept two plowing mules named Jack and Kate, the latter of which had a tendency to lie down in the field and refuse to work. No matter how rough or frustrated young Wooden got with Kate, she would not budge. But his father would walk over until he was within earshot of the mule and simply say, “Kate.” This alone would be enough to spur the animal back into action. Over time, Coach learned that even an obstinate mule could be persuaded with gentleness.

John Wooden\'s Pyramid Of Success

John Wooden, former basketball player and legendary basketball coach, was known for his success with the UCLA Bruins. Nicknamed the “Wizard of Westwood,” he won 10 NCAA national championships within 12 years, 7 of which were consecutive, and was named national coach of the year 6 times. During his time at UCLA, Wooden also set a men’s basketball record of 88 consecutive wins. Wooden managed to make an impact as a coach, leader, and teacher to not only his players, but to people all over the country.

This Pyramid of Successis a visual and verbal representation of John Wooden\'s concept of what it takes to succeed. The Pyramid represents 15 fundamental values and 10 supporting attributes that he believes are, “prerequisites for a leader and an organization whose goal is to perform at the highest level of which they are capable.” Wooden used this Pyramid as a foundation for his players, his staff, and himself throughout his career. Every chosen value has a specific role and place within the Pyramid, and when executed, can bring success to individuals and organizations alike.
