John Wooden was a true legend who left behind a legacy of success and brilliance. In this autobiography, 'John Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court', Wooden shares his journey from Indiana to UCLA, from coaching to teaching, from winning championships to living life.

Wooden is a basketball coach who coached for over three decades. He led UCLA to 10 championships in 12 seasons and his team was on the winning side of 87% of games he coached. His philosophy, which has been called 'Wooden's Law,' is that success in life comes from hard work, preparation and perseverance. Wooden also emphasizes leadership, humility, character and ethics as important values.

John Wooden, who is an American basketball coach and Hall of Fame player, has been called the "Wizard of Westwood" by those who know him best. His philosophy on life is simple yet profound: "Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming." He goes on to say, "Everybody wants to win as much as possible; if they don't make an effort, it's because winning for them is not as important."

John Wooden is one of the most successful men in the history of sports. His lifetime of achievements include a record 10 NCAA Championship Titles, an induction into the Naismith Hall of Fame, and the creation of the UCLA Basketball program. As a student at Purdue University, he was persuaded to go on staff with coach Ward Piggy Lambert but never played a single game for the team - instead, he went on to coach basketball at Indiana University. His commitment to coaching and education is what really makes him great: his success can be attributed as much to his ability to manage others as it does his own skill on the court.
