info_outlineThink back to when you were young and ask yourself, who were the adults that had the most impact on your life? Hopefully, a few smiling faces come to mind when you reflect on the people that helped get you where you are today.
Maybe it was a coach, a teacher, a mentor, or a parent that came to mind. Regardless of how you knew them, they made an impact on you and that’s what matters the most. Most likely, because of them you now want to leave a positive impact on those around you. Isn’t that the way it should work?
When you meet a great leader or coach, it naturally makes you want to be one yourself. That same line of thinking and giving back is what makes today’s show so special. This week on The Unlimited Potential Show we are starting our new series on the great Coach John Wooden.
After his famous carree as an American basketball coach, John Wooden was named coach of the 20th century by ESPN.In fact, many often regard him as the best coach of all time and nicknamed "Wizard of Westwood", after he won ten National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) national championships.
Past the fan fair and the trophy collection, you will discover how Coach John Wooden earned these nicknames and more by the way he truly loved his players and how he did everything he could to see them succeed both on and off the court.
This type of leadership is something we can all aspire to be more like. Hit play to hear part one of our conversation about “Becoming The “Greatest Coach.” The Life of John Wooden”
