John Wooden: They Called Him Coach

"There is only one kind of a life that truly wins, and that is the one that places faith in the hands of the Savior. Until that is done, we are on an aimless course that runs in circles and goes nowhere." -- John Wooden
Honored for his legendary success as a coach and greatly admired by all who knew him, John Wooden demonstrated what it means to live a Christian life. He never considered himself an evangelist, but he certainly knew how to honestly express his faith in a humble and humorous way.
This captivating biography provides a view of not only his remarkable career in the world of sports, but also a behind-the-scenes look at his personal life and the values upon which he built it. Including interviews with his daughter, Nan Wooden, and players he coached at South Bend Central High School, Indiana State University, and UCLA, this inspiring presentation focused on his integrity, Christian faith, and concern for others--principles of living that can be observed by all.

I am so grateful you put this film about this amazing man up on youtube... It's much higher quality than the DVD i've cherished for years...

[@richardmindemann6935]

The winningest championship basketball coach of all time never talked about winning.

[@jimkon5767]

A great man on and off the court = The VERY BEST at both ....

[@jerrystewart7594]

Excellent documentary about the Wizard of Westwood... Rest in peace Mr. Wooden

[@jerrystewart7594]

John Wooden was of high moral values and integrity. I thank the good Lord that I've the pleasure of watching you coach and the wonderful players that you produced

[@juanzizi1245]

What a man of God!

[@nhellzpatrickpontanares800]

A Man of Faith. Enough said.

Glory to Him! We hope you can subscribe to our channel to view even more videos like this one!

This is an excellent documentary and it truly captures the essence of the man, but in addition to Bill Walton, it bothers me that the great Muslim players that he coached, such as Walt Hazzard, Kareem, and Jamaal Wilkes whom he admired and had such a significant relationship with, weren't included. To be honest that's also an undeniable and unavoidable part of his legacy too.

Interesting story. My husband went to Martinsviile High School. I have relatives who live in South Bend, Indiana. I live in Indianapolis.

[@bcalhoun2497]

Beautiful. Keep the faith, be thankful for even the small things in life. God bless you and remember 🙏to pray and ask for forgiveness every day.

[@ronherrera8327]

Many similarities between he and Vince Lombardi. Vince Lombardi coached and was also a high school teacher. In my humble opinion the two greatest coaches of their respective sports.

[@hanshawks5088]

I think Lombardi yelled more!

[@thomaswolf723]

I attended UCLA's first NCAA championship game in Kansas City in 1964. They crushed Duke even though they had no player taller than 6 ft. 5 and Duke had two players 6 ft 10 and 6 ft.11

[@tigerbay1000]

They had Hazzard and Goodrich The 2 best guards in the country

[@stever1791]

I'd like to hear about what Edgar Lacy would have to say about coach Wooden .

[@patwarburtonr7488]

Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Satan is the author of all misery and lies.!

[@georgesouthwick7000]

Sam Gilbert buying the best players for him didn’t hurt anything.

[@tomnohmy1273]

How do u love a myth. Nobody has seen God.

[@RK-um9tu]

Wooden = Cheater
