Short description:

Take a one-on-one leadership course with Coach John Wooden himself!

?John Wooden is a monumental figure in American sports, yet his legacy of leadership transcends athletics and spans generations. Coach Wooden instills in others a sense of pride, a commitment to ethics and a respect for teamwork. These fundamental principles translate readily from the sports arena to business, management, and leadership.

"Although John Wooden gained fame at UCLA as an illustriousbasketball coach, his leadership values and professional and personal behavior are just as applicable in business. Team-building in any context?especially in today?s hyper-competitive and fast-changing environment?is difficult. That Coach Wooden was able to achieve such consistent successes at the highest levels over his 40-year career is a tribute to the robustness of his ideas.?
