About this ebook
When Coach John Wooden graduated from eighth grade his father gave him a handwritten card and said, "Son, try to live up to this." On the card, his father had written seven simple yet profound life principles:
Be true to yourself
Help others
Make friendship a fine art
Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible
Make each day your masterpiece
Build a shelter against a rainy day by the life you live
Give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day
These principles were the key to Coach Wooden's greatness--and his goodness. Through powerful stories and pithy advice, this book shares the wisdom that made Wooden happy and successful. This inspirational and conversational book will encourage, challenge, and motivate readers to build these principles into their own lives.

Pat always does his research and this one is a compendium of great stories, quotes and anecdotes from Wooden's life and more. I bought it for a handful of my clients because it is more about leadership and successful living than it is about basketball.
I told a friend about the book and he relayed yet another story of Coach's openness to strangers and deep conversations at a coffee shop.
Nice job Pat. Keep 'em coming!
