There's some great advice in this book. The problem is there's some other persons work in this book that throws this book off. Coach Woodens part is why I read this book. If I could rip out the other persons parts in this book it would be a five star book to me.

There are not enough stars for this book. Yes a lot of it is common sense, yes a lot of it is not new but what makes it great is the consistency of philosophy and personality through this book. You know John Wooden lived all these principles daily and the book is as if he were standing next to you. I always struggle taking advice from sports book in to the real world as the principles are frequently not transferable or as effective outside the sports arena- but there is plenty of good advice if you want to listen.… (meer)

John Wooden é conhecido como o treinador que levou o time de basquetebol da UCLA a 88 vitórias consecutivas e à conquista de 10 campeonatos nacionais, sete deles em sequência. Mas o que poucos sabem é que o homem que obteve esses resultados impressionantes nunca acreditou que o placar seria a medida de seu sucesso.
Para Wooden, sucesso é a paz de espírito proveniente da consciência de que você fez o maior esforço possível para se tornar o melhor dentro do seu potencial. Colocar essa ideia em prática foi seu diferencial. Ao fazer com que seus times buscassem algo além de vencer, ele na verdade os transformou em vencedores.
"Jogando para vencer", terceiro título da coleção "Na vida como no esporte", organizada pelo técnico da seleção brasileira masculina de voleibol, Bernardinho, apresenta a filosofia de John Wooden e sua Pirâmide do Sucesso. Ao longo do livro, o treinador brasileiro conta como foi influenciado pelos princípios de Wooden e aprofunda as questões mais importantes abordadas por ele.
Nas palavras de Wooden e nos depoimentos daqueles que fizeram parte de sua história vemos o homem que priorizou o caráter, o bon senso e a retidão, se dedicou ao trabalho, à família e aos fundamentos do basquete e se tornou referência no esporte e na vida.
Mais do que uma obra sobre um grande nome do esporte, o livro é a transposição para o papel da sabedoria de um homem que optou por ser íntegro em todos os aspectos da vida.
