At the first practice of each season, legendary coach John Wooden taught his players how to put on their socks and shoes a very particular way. When asked about this, he replied, The little things matter. All I need is one little wrinkle in one sock to put a blister on one foot--and it could ruin my whole season. I started teaching about shoes and socks early in my career, and I saw that it really did cut down on blisters during the season. That little detail gave us an edge. Coach Wooden knew the long-term impact of little things done well.
Now Pat Williams takes Coach Woodens lesson, along with stories of people whose lives have exemplified the importance of little things done well, and shows readers how the small things one does or doesnt do drastically affect ones integrity, reputation, health, career, faith, and success.

Foreword

I HAD THE GREAT THRILL AND HONOR OF BEING a part of two NBA championship teams, in 1999 and 2003. Yet I think the honor I received in 2004, after I retired, may have been even greater: The Keys to Life Award, personally presented to me by one of my all-time heroes, Coach John Wooden. The award is given to those who aspire to follow Coach Woodens Seven Keys to Life:

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

Coach John Wooden has always been one of my role models. From observing his life and his coaching style, I learned that it is possible to be intensely competitive, to be a winner and a champion, and still be a person of integrity, humility, character, and faith. No coach ever won more championships than Coach Wooden, and no one was ever more giving and caring and unassuming than Coach Wooden.

In his entire coaching career, Coach John Wooden only had one losing seasonhis very first season coaching at the high school level. After that, he was all about winning. At UCLA he won 620 games in 27 seasons, had a record winning streak of 88 consecutive wins, had 4 perfect 300 seasons, won 98 consecutive home games at UCLAs Pauley Pavilion, and won 10 NCAA titles in 12 seasons.

Coach Wooden won when he had superstars on his team. But he also won when there were no superstars, when most of his starters had graduated and would not be returning. All of those wins and championships were not merely the result of a superstar roster. There was something special about Coach Wooden himself, about the way he coached, about the principles he taught, about the values he instilled in his players.

He had a secret formula for success. Well, it wasnt really much of a secret. If you asked him, he would readily tell you. The key to his success, he said, was a lot of little things done well. If you would focus on the little things that escaped the notice of your opponents and competitors, you would have a slight edge over themand that would be your winning edge.

In this book, Pat Williams, the cofounder and senior vice president of the Orlando Magic, has unpacked and explored Coach John Woodens greatest success secret so that we can all follow the example of the greatest coach of all time. In these pages, Pat examines every facet of Coach Woodens formula for success. Youll discover how focusing on the little things will prepare you for great things. These principles will help to safeguard your character and produce habits of consistency and excellence in your life.
