TEAM biz system embraces his principles. I so love his pyramid of success and his 7 point creed. His stories inspire me to be better in every area expected of me to lead, mentor & of course....coach! What we can learn from Wooden can be applied in every area of our lives. Thank you Bob! I love Wooden! TEAM biz system embraces his principles. I so love his pyramid of success and his 7 point creed.

The take away for me is choice. Wooden chose to focus on what was important to him - “Peace of mind that is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” Obviously, he had spent some time deciding what was important to him and then made choices based on that "knowing." You live this way too, my friend, for I have watched you from the sidelines and have modeled my behavior after your fine example. It's really not about winning or losing - it is about who you choose to be while you are playing the game of life. Good morning, Bob! The take away for me is choice.

The preparation is so important to great performance, isn't it? Jim, I love your saying about if trust if backorded. You need to be "tweeting" that one, my friend! Hi Karl. Wooden was the MAN, indeed. What a great leader and human being. Regarding the word, "winner" I never thought of it that way, other than in whatever context it is used. But, it is interesting how certain words evoke certain pictures/feelings. I've known you for a long time and while, as a 3rd party candidate, you've never won enough votes for a political office, I consider you to be one of the biggest winners I know. You are truly a principle-based person. You'd have my vote for President any day. Hi Steve, thank you for your comment. The preparation is so important to great performance, isn’t it?
