| Foreword
The Foundation of A Legend
I have always admired John Wooden, not only for his success on the basketball court, but also for his success in creating a legacy of excellence and integrity. When you are in the public eye you are under a great deal of scrutiny, and it is easy to make a major mistake or two. Over all these years, Coach Wooden has upheld his character and ideals in an admirable way. When he is remembered, thoughts will be drawn toward his teams, his attitude and his love for his wife and family.John Wooden will also be remembered for his teaching ability. They don't call him "Coach" for nothing. His Pyramid of Success has been the cornerstone of his teaching for many years. In this book, Coach Wooden and Jay Carty take you through Scriptures in your life today. They show you how to use God's Word to build a solid foundation in your life for whatever you do. All good and lasting success is based on how we relate to God and how we relate to our fellow man. I hope that as you read this book, you will begin to understand what has served as the foundation for a great sportsman and a great human being. - David Robinson
