Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success

by John Wooden and Jay Carty

Wooden's fifteen-block pyramid, industriousness and enthusiasm at the base and competitive greatness at the top, explained block by block with his own commentary and Carty's devotional applications. It is the clearest single presentation of the pyramid.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Success is peace of mind from knowing you did your best.
  2. Industriousness and enthusiasm are the cornerstones.
  3. Build from the base; do not chase the apex.

Do this first

Rate yourself honestly on the five foundation blocks and work on the lowest.

Our verdict

The pyramid, block by block.
