Without a doubt one of the greatest men to ever live is John Wooden.His wisdom and humbleness is beyond anyone I have ever met or read.
I just re-read the book WOODEN:A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off The Court. His "Pyramid of Success" is brilliant and inspired.For those who only think of him as a successful basketball coach must read his books.He is a paradox of genius yet a mid-west simple ordinary person.
I had the amazing opportunity to meet him,shake his hand and tell him what a great inspiration he was to me.
