Description
John Wooden: A Coach's Life by Seth Davis A provocative and revealing biography of one of America's most iconic college basketball coaches. John Wooden dominated the sport in the 1960s and '70s, leading UCLA to unprecedented heights with ten NCAA championships in twelve seasons and an eighty-eight-game winning streak. This unflinching portrait draws on archival research and over two hundred interviews with players, opponents, coaches, and others close to Wooden. As Davis shows, reaching new heights brought new burdens and frustrations for the coach who became a renowned motivational speaker and writer, revered for his "Pyramid of Success." The story also explores the players who powered Wooden's championship teams, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, and Walt Hazzard, many of whom speak frankly about their coach. This biography offers an intimate look at a man in full, whose life story still resonates today.
