"The Greatest Coach Ever: Timeless Wisdom and Insights Of John Wooden"

In Memoriam - 3/4/20
Introduction:  "Coach" - Dan Britton, Executive VP, FCA - 3/4/20
1.  Good Things Take Time - Les Steckel - 3/4/20 (We tend to forget all good things take time)
2.  Success Redefined - Jim Tressel - 3/4/20 (Success is peace of mind that is direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.)
3.  First Things First - Dave Pasch - 2/1/22 (Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.)
4.  God's Playbook - Bobby Bowden - 2/2/22 (Drink deeply from the great books; especially the Bible.)
5.  Active Duty - David Robinson - 2/5/22 (Initiative is having the courage to make decisions and take action.)
6.  Constructive Criticism - Tony Dungy - 2/13/22 (Criticism and correction differ, especially when it comes to methods and motives.  Criticism puts someone down.  Correction means I want to help.)
7.  Staying True - Tamika Catchings - 2/21/22 (Loyalty is the foundational quality that gets us through hard times.  Will we compromise our integrity when temptation is great?  Or will we remain loyal to our beliefs and core values?)
8.  Be Prepared - Gary Cunningham - 2/23/22 (I must have the drive to develop my abilities and become the best I can be so that I'll be ready.)
9.  The Hard Way - Steve Alford - 2/28/22 (There is no substitute for hard work.)
10.  The Good Fight - Sherri Coale - 3/9/22 (Fight is a determined effort to do the very best we can do.)
11.  The Honest Truth - Jerry Colangelo - 3/11/22 (Honesty is doing the things that we know are right and not giving into the temptation to do the things that we know are wrong.)
12.  Giving Up Control - Joe Girardi - 3/12/22 (God is either in control or He isn't.  I believe He is.)
13.  Count on Me - Ruth Riley - 3/18/22 (When we are reliable, others know that they can depend on us.)
14.  Do As I Do - Lorenzo Romar - 3/22/22 (A leader's most powerful ally is his or her own example.)
15.  The Real Deal - Pat Williams - 3/25/22 (Integrity in its simplest form is purity of intention.)
16.  One Purpose - Ralph Dollinger - 5/17/22 (Intentness is the ability to resist temptation and to avoid rabbit trails of destruction)
17.  Random Acts of Kindness - Denny Crum - 5/23/22 (Helping others in any way - with a smile, a nod or a pat on the back - warms the heart.)
18.  Family Matters - Kristy Curry - 5/24/22 (The most important profession in the world is parenting.  The second is teaching, and everyone is a teacher to someone.)
