Coach Wooden is a man I have admired as a sport’s fan. I was in college during Coach Wooden’s unbelievable run as the coach of so many NCAA championships while at UCLA. But, what I didn’t know, until reading this book, what an amazing teacher he was to his students (athletes) and to those who had the priviledge of spending time with Coach away from the court. Coach Wooden shares his thoughts, his philosophies, his heart in this very well-written book. But the added bonus is that the reader gets a chance to hear from one of his assistance at UCLA, who adds some light into this man’s dedicated life. Jay Carty, former college basketball star and LA Lakers’ player,and author of several inspirational books, shares his humor and wisdom along side Coach Wooden. The tandem is irresistible. You won’t want to buy one – you’ll want to buy several to share with others who are fans’ of basketball or participants of the game of life.

When I ask my kids, “What do you wanna read tonight?” They say, “ONE ON ONE!” They love it because it’s funny. I love it because it has great life lessons. I also bought this book as a gift for college students. It’s been a popular gift among my friends.
Review by LOVE for Coach Wooden One-on-One

I am impressed that John Wooden put his highest priority on the character of the players entrusted to him. He would never allow his players to criticize one another and took personal responsibility as a coach for his students’ improvements. He says that Love as described in 1 Corinthians 13 is the most important goal for life’s center. What great wisdom this 90+ year old wise one leaves for us.The Cross of Christ was held secretly in his palm as he led every game. What humble man who made sure that this book would not place him on a pedestal; but rather, the LORD of Love as the core teacher and Top Coach of all of life! Truly impressive!

Although this is written as a daily devotional, when I got my copy I could not put it down until I read it all. I still go through it day by day! I have also used some of the writings in teaching the teen class my wife and I run.
This is a great book, and not just for fans of coach John Wooden!!
