"This book changed my life. It's not about basketball, it's about life. It teaches you how to be optimistic and how to keep your morals.... This big is the best....."
"I liked this book. I would have given it more stars if it wasn't so much like a book of quotes. John Wooden has great work ethic and other characteristics and views on life that I also want to embody and teach to my children."
"A simple yet amazingly insightful guide to life. And sports too. Comparing it to other inspirational books, this book is the best I've read because it actually explains and gives examples of how to embrace the principles of success. It truly defines 'hard work', 'positive attitude', 'leadership', 'humbleness' etc. It's not just a glossy motivational book, it's about the principles that success and happiness are built on."
