Coach John Wooden on Success

“Success is the peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing that you made the effort to do the best of which you’re capable.”

Coach John Wooden

Some of my coaching inspiration came earlier in life from the teachings of John Wooden, legendary UCLA men’s basketball coach. This philosophy speaks to my focus around authenticity and appreciating the journey, while also being focused on the end results.

Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success is rooted in his 12 lessons in leadership. Not one of those 12 building blocks that comprised the pyramid included "achieve" or "win."
