WIZARD OF WESTWOOD

R.I.P. John Wooden...

John Wooden's Seven Point Creed (given to him by his father Joshua upon his graduation from grammar school):

Be true to yourself.
Make each day your masterpiece.
Help others.
Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
Make friendship a fine art.
Build a shelter against a rainy day.
Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day.


Among Wooden's maxims:

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
Flexibility is the key to stability.
Be quick, but don't hurry.


The 2010 Whitney hike is in honor of John and Nell.

We know you will be watching, Coach and Nell!
