John Wooden's Pyramid of Success

You may not know who John Wooden is if you aren't a sports fan. He died this week at the ripe old age of 99 so you can probably guess that he had a lasting influence to a lot of people. Looking back on Wooden's life I saw an old article that caught my eye on his Pyramid of Success. This is what we will share today, but just realize that this man was one of the greatest basketball coaches of all-time. Maybe even the best. Just search Wooden UCLA if you want to know more, or take a look at the best weight loss supplement if you don't.

This is from an article on Entrepreneur.com from 2007:

At the age of 96, living in Encino, California and making 20 to 30 speeches a year, former UCLA coach John Wooden still keeps in touch with more players than he could name in one breath, including Bill Walton, Andy Hill, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Keith Erickson, Keith Wilkes, Mike Warren, Kenny Washington and John Vallely. And those are just the ones he has breakfast with on a regular basis. But that only seems natural for a leader whose "Pyramid of Success" includes friendship, loyalty and team spirit as three of its 15 blocks.
