This weeks episode of the Need to Lead podcast is dedicated to a legend in sports leadership
You've probably heard his name before, or seen some cool quotes from him - without really knowing what he done or why he's so well respected!
John Wooden was the head coach of the UCLA Bruins basketball team from 1948-1975.
During his tenure, he led the team to 12 NCAA championships in 10 years (including 7 in a row),
Including four undefeated 30-0 seasons, and finished his coaching career with a crazy 81% win record in over 1,000 games!
Aside from just making his team hard to beat, he was the kinda leader who built his people up to be better off the court too
Unfortunately he died a few years back, but his teachings and legacy lives on.
A lot of the stuff covered in here comes from the book 'Wooden on Leadership' so if you like this episode, definitely check the book out.
Enjoy, hope it helps
