The John R. Wooden Course

The John R. Wooden Course is a professional and personal success development process, curriculum, and methodology based on the values, principles, life lessons and wisdom of legendary UCLA basketball coach, teacher, author and philosopher, John Robert Wooden. The Wooden Way process and methodology creates a developmental path, a game plan for becoming a great coach, first of yourself, and then to create the opportunity to serve and develop others. As coach Wooden often stated “If you get ready perhaps your chance will come.” Wooden wisdom teaches that true success is defined as “peace of mind attained only through the self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you are capable”. This high character, life-shaping and cultural transforming view of success comes about when an individual, team or organization consistently practices the day to day behavior defined on coach Wooden’s brilliant high-performance blueprint – The Pyramid of Success. These 25 behavioral characteristics are the key to creating, the work ethic, energy, discipline, habits, skills and attitude that assure an individual, a team or an entire organization will be at their best when their best is needed, and they will enjoy a difficult challenge.
