John "the Wizard of Westwood" Wooden

John Wooden was a basketball player and coach. When he was the head coach at UCLA, he won ten NCAA national championships in 12 years. 

John Wooden always had something to say and had several brilliant quotes. 
"Talent in God given, be humble
Fame is man given, be grateful
Conceit is self given, be careful"

"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do"

John is famous for having made a success pyramid. The pyramid models the necessities of a champion. It gives views anything negative that could happen during a match and how it should be seen as a positive. John Wooden saw sports in a different way then most, which could be the reason why he won so many championships.
