Overview

From the legendary basketball coach who inspired generations of athletes and businesspeople, an inspiring book about the power of mentoring and being mentored.

After eight books, many of them bestsellers, A Game Plan for Life is the one closest to John Wooden’s heart: a moving and inspirational guide to the power of mentorship. The first half focuses on the people who helped foster the values that carried Wooden through an incredibly successful and famously principled career, including his college coach, his wife, Abraham Lincoln, and Mother Teresa. The second half is built around interviews with some of the many people he mentored over the years, including Kareem Abdul- Jabbar, Bill Walton, fellow coaches, family members, and even a middle school coach in Canada. Their testimony takes readers inside the lessons Wooden taught to generations of players, bringing out the very best in them not just as athletes but as human beings. In all, it’s an inspiring primer on how to achieve success without sacrificing principles, and on how to build one of the most productive and rewarding relationships available to any athlete, businessperson, teacher, or parent: that of mentor and protégé.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
You might say that legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden mentored a generation. During his three-decade career, he instilled life-changing lessons in scores of athletes and fellow coaches. In this keepsake book, Wooden explains how the power of mentoring rightly applied can foster values even as it aids with success. He movingly pays tribute to the mixed batch of mentors who most shaped his own life: his college coach, his beloved wife, Nellie, Abraham Lincoln, and Mother Teresa. In the second half of the book, grateful students including Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar turn the tables on him, reflecting on what "Old John" has taught them.

    Plan Your Game

    What can I say. I found Coach Wooden's book simply amazing in terms of his forthright honesty and sincerity. To express himself in such an open way and bare personal feelings, I found that he draws the reader closer by doing so.

    Sharing is personal life experiences about how he developed into the man, husband, and coach he became, you get the sense that he is an exceptional human being. But he shares how you, the reader, can learn the same skills by having mentors, the same mentors he had.

    With the help of Don Yeager I found the book very easy to read and I could not put it down. Maybe I connected with the story on some personal level and so it meant more to me than say to another person. With that being said, I still highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to be inspired.

    I went as far as purchasing Coach Wooden's childrens book for my own son. We read it together and through this book I am imparting some of Coach Wooden's wisdom to my son, giving him his second mentor.

    Interesting Read

    Coach Wooden gives common sense tips for the mentor inside all of us. If you are a fan of any of his books you will enjoy this as it gives a few more of his life stories. I have felt like I have found a good friend that I have never met.
