For me, the material in this book was new material and while the Pyramid of Success is the central part of the book (as it is in so much of Coach Wooden’s work), it is done in a way that relates how it works rather than anything else.

I think the important thing about this book is that it goes beyond basketball. Too many times, someone writes a book that frames life around what the writer did in his specialty (be it basketball, football, or business). While many of those in the book are connected to Coach Wooden through basketball, the focus is on life outside or after basketball that matters.
