Arguably the most successful college basketball coach of all time, John Wooden not only had a passion for coaching but also a passion to share his story with other coaches so that they could learn from his success. His leadership, dedication, knowledge, and discipline are something all coaches can learn from. In this course, the coach will learn the strategies and characteristics of good coaching through studying the life and career of John Wooden. The coach will understand Coach Wooden’s UCLA offense and seek to implement some of its key strategies with his or her own team. By the end of the course, the coach will be able to design a coaching structure that instills both discipline and character into his or her athletes, while also implementing effective basketball drills, strategies, and techniques.
