Kim Monson's Quote of the Day:
March 12, 2024

Make each day your masterpiece. Life is now. Life is not later on.

John WOoden

John Wooden, born on October 14, 1910, in Hall, Indiana, was a legendary American basketball coach and player, renowned for his tenure at UCLA. Wooden’s coaching career is unparalleled, marked by an unmatched record of ten NCAA national championships in a 12-year period, including an unprecedented seven in a row from 1967 to 1973. His coaching philosophy, emphasizing character, teamwork, and personal excellence over winning, has left a lasting impact on the sport and its athletes. Wooden was also celebrated for his development of the “Pyramid of Success,” a motivational and instructional guide for leading a successful life beyond basketball. Known as the “Wizard of Westwood,” he not only transformed UCLA into a basketball powerhouse but also profoundly influenced the lives of his players and the broader sports community. Wooden passed away on June 4, 2010, leaving behind a legacy that transcends the boundaries of basketball.
