With profound simplicity, Coach John Wooden redefines success and urges us all to pursue the best in ourselves. In this inspiring talk, he shares the advice he gave his players at UCLA, quotes poetry, and remembers his father’s wisdom.

John Wooden, affectionately known as Coach, led UCLA to record wins that are still unmatched in the world of basketball. He shares the values and life lessons he passed to the players that he learned throughout his long life, emphasizing success that’s about much more than winning.

He created the Pyramid of Success and authored several books to impart his insight on achievement to others. I actually remember having a poster of his pyramid of success on my wall as a teenager that my dad gave me. It definitely struck a chord with me and motivated me to become a better athlete and person in general.
