SummaryThis book is the next best thing to personally talking one-on-one with Coach John Wooden. Together with longtime friend and fomer L.A. Laker Jay Carty, John Wooden, ESPN's "Greatest Coach of the 20th Century," shares life-building principles that you can apply to enrich your own life and that of others. Coach Wooden One-on-One consists of 60 daily devotional readings. Each one begins with a page of treasured thoughts from Coach, followed by a page of Jay Carty's comments that expand upon them. Each reading is made even more memorable by opening and closing passages from the Bible-the book that has shaped John Wooden's life more than any other. |

Average Rating: 
Best book evar!
Rating: 
I really enjoyed this book as an avid fan of the baskets-ball. It is chock full of fundamentals and dealings. One time, Coach Wooden said he preferred to watch the women's game to the men's. When did Coach Wooden go blind?
I recommend this book because I am a sexist basketball fan full of sexism.
A wonderful read!
Rating:
I picked up this book after I read "Wooden" (recommended by friends... prior to that, I have to say that I've never even heard of Coach John Wooden). He is the most amazing person I have ever read about... so inspiring! I couldn't put this book down... it's easy to read, it's to the point and every page is motivating and inspiring! I highly highly highly recommended!
The Star of the Team Is the Team
Rating:
As Peter Drucker was to management, John Wooden was to coaching. A master at mentoring his teams during his 40-year coaching career from 1948 to 1975, Wooden's UCLA basketball teams won 10 NCAA national championships, including seven in a row! ESPN named him the Greatest Coach of the 20th Century. He preached team spirit. "The star of the team is the team. `We' supercedes `me'."
Recently the Los Angeles Times asked sports readers, "If you could have dinner with a local sports personality, whom would you choose?" Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, Tom Lasorda, USC football coach Peter Carroll, Serena and Venus Williams, David Beckham and Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully all made the Top 10 list. But it was former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, now 97, who received the most votes!
Co-authored by Wooden and Jay Carty (read Jay's hilarious account of his brief Lakers career), this wonderful book includes 60 one-page insights from the Coach, with 60 one-page color commentaries by Carty.
It's the perfect book for leaders-on-the-run, who need just the right snippet for a staff meeting, motivational talk or article. Topics include: First Things First, Powerful Principles, Overcoming Adversity, Everyone's a Teacher, Buts and Promises, Going Beyond Good Intentions, After You've Learned It All, Avoiding Burnout, and Making the Right Mistakes. The book includes Wooden's famed Pyramid of Success chart.
Very Inspiring
Rating:
My husband and I read one each night and then read the related bible verses. It is great book for relection and discussion.
Coach Wooden One On one
Rating:
Having read several of Jay Carty's books now I have to say he is an incredibly inspiring writer and person to say the least. I am so excited each month as I check for new "stuff" from Jay Carty as it is always refreshing and different yet always connected to God with a three stranded cord. If you haven't been a reader of his books for long there are many to choose from and this writer never stops searching for Gods will in his daily efforts to continue to provide hearty reading material for all groups and all stages from salvation, and growth to a mature level of one's spiritual walk. I highly recommend anything he puts his hands on because I know the hand of God is on him. Some of what I have read and or listened to on tape are:"Discovering your natural talents", "Counter Attack: taking back ground lost to sin", "Playing with fire", "Something's fishy Getting rid of the carp in your life","Coach Wooden One on One", "Coach Wooden's Piramid of success", Darrell Waltrip - One on One, "Mike Singletary- One on One" all keeping me captivated from cover to cover!
