John Wooden's Seven Point Creed

* Be true to yourself.
* Make each day your masterpiece.

A fine man indeed. RIP

He was an amazing teacher/coach/example! He touched thousands of lives with his positive influence, and he stayed mentally sharp until the end of his 99 years.

Now John has gone home, and is reunited with his beloved wife.

RIP Coach. We miss you already.

 

A good read and summation of his achievements.

RIP.

It's a shame the things he taught no longer seem to apply in the "one and done" reality of NCAA basketball today.
