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

Wonderful tribute
I was always aware of John Wooden's incredible accomplishments, but your wonderful tribute opened my eyes to what a truly great human being he was. My only regret is that I never had the opportunity to meet the man himself but I am looking forward to the day I will meet him in Heaven....God is good!
Excellent book
Well writing and insightful. Not knowing too much about Coach Wooden prior, I feel that I connected and can relate to his beliefs through the author.
As a new coach I would highly recommend this book.
