Coach Wooden died at age 99 and was as sharp as a tack to the very end, the world needs more people like him.

To call this man gifted would be an insult. This man was a gift.

Even at an “advanced” age this man was quick and sharp. He rattled off wisdom at light speed.

I live 3 or 4 miles away from his childhood home. I often ride my bike out there and ponder on the idea that 80 years ago he was looking at the same fields and sky as I am at that very moment. He is an example that greatness can come from anywhere and anyone. Hard work is necessary no matter how easy something comes to you.

Reputation is what people think about you. Character is what you really are. 6:50 never be late. Be neat and clean. Start on time and leave on time. Not one word of profanity. 8:30 Never criticize a team mate, that is a coaches job. 9:12 he shows his pyramid. The top is faith and patience. trust things will work out as they should if you do what you should. 11:53 a set of 3 from dad. 1 Don't whine 2 Don't complain 3 Don't make excuses. Do what your doing to the best of your ability.

I clapped at the end of this. Such humility from this coach and teacher. He never spoke a word about his accomplishments. He only spoke of his students and players deeds. Amazing

Wow! Wooden was the most lucid and wise 91 year old!

To speak this swiftly on interesting subjects is admirable in a 30 year old. To do it at his age is remarkable.

I was a student at UCLA during the 60's when Mr Wooden was there, outstanding individual who really made a difference in people's lives.
