Coach Woodens Pyramid of Success: Building Blocks for a Better Life

Product Information

Nate's rant to Ted ends with him making a few derogatory remarks about Ted being American, including calling the subjects of his pictures (which includes Muhammad Ali) dumb.

Nate is shown taking a long look at a poster depicting John Wooden's Pyramid of Success. Wooden developed it as a way for people, particularly the players he coached, to visualize the steps towards becoming a better person. Instead of taking the concept to heart, Nate ignores every concept outlined in the pyramid except the "Competitive Greatness" bit at the top, and proceeds to advance his own agenda while selling out his team and friends. At the same time, Beard can be seen reading Inverting the Pyramid by Jonathan Wilson (a book about the history of football tactics), showing the disconnect between Nate and everyone else, and providing the other part of a subtle but very well-executed non-verbal Title Drop.The idiom ‘riding high’ refers to surfing culture, where someone who manages to catch a wave rides it as far as they can. Once the wave catches them, they can cruise at the top of the wave and enjoy the thrill. This works both ways, in trusting people around you, and being loyal to others to build trust. Coach Wooden believed it was sometimes necessary to sacrifice personal glory for the team. Cooperation One thing the season never really had a clear grasp on is the state of Ted and Rebecca’s friendship: they rarely interacted alone, and despite the fact she was one of the only people who knows about Ted’s anxiety she still only texts him when the story breaks even after their big emotional moment last week? It just doesn’t add up.

Self-help considerably littered with biblical scriptural references, but the proof is in the pudding: Wooden was the most successful NCAA coach. His work ethic and principles are worthy of admiration and emulation. Find out what made Coach John Wooden such a powerful influencer from the very people he mentored one-on-one in his now famous den So, you would usually use this saying to refer to someone who found success but is now bored and doesn’t know what to do with themselves.Imagine if a dog actually caught the bus it was chasing. What would it do? Bite it? Eat it? Unlikely. It would probably be confused and unsure about what the next step is. This is the ability to stay true to your values and your commitment, when faced with challenging circumstances. It can also be described as self-respect, confidence or composure. Confidence To call something a poisoned chalice is to say that it seems like something lovely (a chalice being a drinking goblet) only to realize once you’ve got it that it’s going to hurt you. Enthusiasm — Enthusiasm is the other cornerstone of the pyramid. Enthusiasm means making sure you have a passion for what you're doing, or at the very least, a passion for doing the job in front of you correctly. I discuss more about this in my post on Drive.
