“Sound primer on how to put the life principles of Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success into practice in your own life to become your own “coach”. Wooden spent decades identifying the characteristics and traits that help define a successful person and this book helps simplify his seminal and profound work for anyone looking to become the best version of themselves today. Written by authors who had first hand, personal experience with Wooden himself. The book is written with a selfless mission of serving and helping readers find success, meaning and happiness using Coach Wooden’s remarkable insights into human psychology and philosophy.”

“Like many of you I have read countless books on leadership and success. I have never encountered a book so complete and detailed in the thought process. Coach John Wooden arguably the greatest coach ever spent 14 years developing his pyramid of success. He spent countless hours understanding leadership as a teacher, mentor, speaker, inspirer, motivator, friend, coach and more. The book has worksheets to work through your thought process and your behavior so that you can be what you were created to be and meet your potential. This is a book I could not put down, and one I will be referring to over and over again.”

“Lynn Guerin and Jason Lavin’s book is a great read for people who seek to improve their lives and careers. Leaders at work and home will benefit from the wealth of material included in the book. As a retired Chief Deputy US Marshal, I utilized the lessons in the book for our entire leadership team. The book inspires people to give their best each day. I was fortunate to apply the material from the book and use the 5 lessons of leading to challenge and encourage our US Marshal team to continue the tradition of teaching and coaching the Wooden Way. “Coach Em Way Up” is instantly readable, applicable and a great resource. Outstanding Job Lynn and Jason!”
