" Failure to Prepare is to Prepare to Fail".
My favorite coach of all-time is John Wooden. He is known as the coach of the UCLA Bruins, a team that won 10 National Championships. These quotes are his. They are words that we can learn from, not only as ballplayers, but as students, sons, and in the future as husbands and parents.
He spent 14 years identifying 25 behaviors he believed were necessary to achieve his idea of success. This search culminated in a simple but profound diagram Wooden called "The Pyramid of Success", which he completed in 1948. Nearly six decades later these foundational behaviors have weathered the test of time - unchanged, full of wisdom, as rock-solid as the first day Coach established the cornerstones of Industriousness and Enthusiasm.
