John Wooden(约翰·伍登) 

人生导师  篮球教练

他将“金字塔”变成了竞技体育的基石

很少有人像约翰伍登教练那样深深地融入为UCLA的一份子。他曾10次将小熊队带上了冠军的奖台，其中有4次不败赛季，有两次还是连续夺冠。他从不用胜利来定义成功，尽管这个想法在大多数大学体育项目中不被认同。在UCLA，他可以自由地向学生传输他独特的指导精神，在他看来成功是不汲汲于结果，只着眼付出努力的这种平和心态。他将“成功金字塔”理念传递给我们，帮助选手们从底层向顶部努力奋斗。以真诚、耐心、勤勉和友谊为支柱，这个影响不仅在球场之中，成功塑造了像“天勾”贾巴尔、比尔·沃尔顿等标志性人物。看似讽刺的是，这个将成功看做第二位的人却是大学篮球史上赢得最多国家级冠军的教练。

John Wooden

Basketball Coach 1948-1975

He turned a pyramid into the cornerstone of competitivesports.

Few individuals are so deeply woven into the identity of UCLA as Coach John Wooden. He led the Bruins to 10 national championships,including four undefeated seasons, two of them back-to-back. Yet he didn't measure success by winning-a notion that would probably be met with resistanceat most university athletic programs. At UCLA, Wooden was free and encouraged to instill his unique coaching ethos-one that defined success as peace of mind from knowing you put forth your absolute effort, regardless of the outcome. He gave us the “Pyramid of Success,”a tool designed to build players from the bottom up. With pillars like “sincerity,” “patience,” “industrious” and“friendship,” its impact spread beyond the court and it has become as iconic as Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Bill Walton and the many players it helped shape. It seems ironic that a man who saw winning as secondary would go on to win more national championships than any other coach in college basketball history.
