Unveiling Coach John Wooden's Pyramid of Success

Coach John Wooden developed the Pyramid of Success in 1933 after witnessing students being judged as failures despite giving their best effort. He believed in measuring success based on the absolute criteria of effort and saw the need to show people how to achieve success, not just tell them. The Pyramid of Success consists of 15 fundamental qualities like hard work, enthusiasm, teamwork, and self-control. Wooden emphasized that success should be defined by the quality of effort put forth, not just by winning. The pyramid serves as a guidebook for individuals to make a total effort and become the best they are capable of becoming.
