Wooden developed the Pyramid with painstaking thought, everything from the cornerstones (Industriousness and Enthusiasm), the core (Condition, Skill, Team, Spirit), to the flanking values Faith and Patience near the summit.
Coach Wooden believed that these values translated well into life success.
I have distributed laminated copies of Wooden's Pyramid to my players through the years. "If it's laminated, then it's important."
Over the long pull, players who invest themselves in embracing the values of the Pyramid of Success have a daily head start over their competition.
