Coach Wooden's Forgotten Teams: Stories and Lessons from John Wooden's Summer Basketball Camps is written by Pat Williams and Jim Denney with the foreword by his daughter, Nan Wooden.
John Wooden is considered a legendary UCLA basketball coach, and he's known for his record-breaking run of NCAA championships, as well as working with some of the best basketball players.
According to the front book jacket copy: "His principles for success have been used by not only coaches and athletes, but also business leaders, entrepreneurs, and others.... For nearly twenty years, John Wooden ran scores of summer youth basketball camps in California and other states, imparting wisdom and teaching skills to thousands of boys and girls between the ages of eight and fifteen."
This sports-inspired self-help book is focused on six fundamental lessons for a life of success and impacting others, along with their stories.
It's divided into nine main chapters, including the titles of More Than a Basketball Camp, Success Is in the Details, Be a Leader Who Builds Leaders, Be a Teacher, Teach Wisdom Not Winning, Empower Your People, Strive for Competitive Greatness, The Undiscovered Coach Wooden, and Q & A with Coach Wooden. Also, there are additional sections, including "A Week with Wooden" by Swen Nater, Foreword by Nan Wooden, Introduction: A Coach for All Seasons, Epilogue: Coach Wooden's Masterpiece, and "I Saw Love Once" by Swen Nater.
Coach Wooden's Forgotten Teams is a memorable book geared towards generations of all ages, especially those interested in inspirational sports-related books.
Note: I received this book from Revell Books, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
